Innovative rodless gripper cylinders
Automation engineers can obtain two separate movements on a single linear axis, saving design and assembly time plus an actuator.
New rotary actuators have internal air leads
Forming part of the Gimapick series Pick and Place Modules, the rotary actuators R32 and R63 are equipped with internal air leads.
These light weight and compact units are made from aluminium extrusions with a built-in rigid guidance system consisting of hardened steel rods, slide ram and recirculating ball bearings.
This innovative design created a fast moving precision slide with high stiffness and a repeatability of plus and minus 0.02 mm.
Small two or three axis pick and place units are easily built by bolting two or three slides together without the need of adapter plates.
One or two mini Z's can be bolted onto the rodless cylinder driven carriage of a maxi L and bingo, you have a two axis multi position gantry pick and place machine.
The maxi L is a self supporting slide unit made from anodised extruded aluminium with an integrated 40 mm bore rodless cylinder and a large smooth moving carriage, guided by recirculating ball bearings on hardened steel rails.
The L slide and is available with stroke length of 300 mm, 500 mm, 1000 mm and 2000 mm.
Standard equipment includes shock absorbers, cable and hose carrier, electrical and pneumatic connection box and the stopping units, which provide the possibility of several adjustable and programmable intermediate positive stop positions.
