Remote maintenance for novel gripper sensor
The FPS-F5 multiple position sensor is the first gripper sensor with a remote maintenance function.
It features a precise profiled rail guide and can be operated by a ball-screw spindle drive with supports and by a robust, play-free toothed-belt drive with adjustable belt tension.
Both the ball screw drive and the profiled rail guide have been generously dimensioned.
The version with ball screw drive is designed for a driving force of 4000N and attains travel speeds of up to 2.5m/s with a maximum stroke of 5120mm, thanks to the spindle supports which reduce spindle flexing.
Acceleration values of up to 20m/s are possible with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.03mm.
By comparison, the version with toothed belt drive attains a high driving force of 850N and covers distances up to 7620mm at speeds up to 5m/s.
The maximum possible acceleration is 30m/s with a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.08mm.
Short or long slide plates measuring 180 or 230mm in length are optionally available for both versions and both versions are also protected against pollution by a covering band that passes through the axis carriage.
Each version is powered by a servomotor that is connected to the axis via a flange and a coupling.
Schunk also offers complete drive solutions consisting of motor, gear, controller and cable. Request a free brochure from Schunk Intec ...
