Linear Systems Now With Integral Measuring System
All of Star ball and roller rail systems are now available with an integral inductive linear measuring system that allows enhanced machine designs and improved accuracy.
Ball rail system has 30% increased load capacity
New developments of track technology in the Star Ball Rail system have enabled a 30% increase in the load capacity from the modular runner block.
It is ideally suited for linking machine tools and manual workplaces and can also be used to supply parts for assembly process stations.
The workpiece pallet system is designed for products of up to 8kg in weight and speeds up to 18m/min.
The chain conveyor system proves its economic efficiency particularly through the long sections, including curvaceous passages, with just one drive.
Defined, tried-and-tested interfaces provide high operational reliability and allow setting up customised systems without any difficulty.
Contributing factors include that the workpiece pallets are variable in length and can be easily adapted to the product for transport.
Users can install stop gates and positioning units at any place and subsequently relocate them without any mechanical work on the section.
The positioning unit constructed entirely from stainless steel withstands even rough environments and can be given a cover to additionally protect it against chipping or media used in machines.
Diverters and junctions are available for branches to satellite systems or cycle-independent workstations, as well as for realisation of complex system layouts.
The entire VarioFlow chain conveyor system encompasses chain widths from 65 to 320mm and models in aluminium and stainless steel.
It is composed of only a small number of basic modules, simplifying the system planning.
Users are also provided assistance for this through 3D CAD data and a calculation program and, using the FMSsoft software program, they can create their system layouts with parts list generation.
