INDUSTRIES & SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Industrial automation and robotics
Racks, guideways and drive components for gantry robots, robot seventh axes, loading and multi-station automation.
ENGINEERING CONTEXT
Specific applications, components and selection
Integrated automation evaluates rack, guideway, pinion, structure, protection and control interface as one motion axis.
Gantry robots can be configured as single-axis, three-axis, medium-heavy and heavy-duty systems.
Robot seventh axes are sized for travel, cycle, payload, repeatability and safety envelope.
RACK & PINION IN APPLICATION
Application schematic
Gantry robot traverse axis
The rack is fixed along the gantry beam. A carriage-mounted servo gearbox drives the pinion, moving the vertical axis and gripper between stations. Cycle, payload, repeatability, lubrication and safety envelope are sized together.
Project factors
Rack, guideway, pinion, gantry, lubrication and protection
Cycle, stiffness, repeatability and controls
