Schunk launches handling system

A Schunk Intec product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 6, 2009

Schunk Intec has introduced the PP2300/2400 cartesian arm handling system.

This drive concept has a compact design with a backlash-free system with three linear axes (PP2300) that can be optionally fitted with an additional rotary axis (PP2400).

The silent and precise unit contains a media feed through that can be used to feed gases and liquids, or for forwarding electrical signals.

The linear axes have effective dust protection covers and a sealed cover for the rotation axis and the control unit so that the entire series can also be used in applications with stricter requirements in terms of freedom from dust or guaranteed hygiene.

This makes the PP2300/2400 handling system suitable for applications in laboratory automation, laser processing, medical technology or for pick-and-place tasks with optional optical inspection.

The PP2300/2400 can be integrated into machines and systems and can also be used as a stand-alone system - all that is required is a power supply and a laptop.

The handling system allows a working area of up to 1,000mm x 400mm x 240mm to be covered with a precise integrated distance measurement system with a resolution of 8um that allows a repeat accuracy of +/-0.05mm.

The PP2300 can move weights up to 5kg, while its sister module, the PP2400, is equipped with a rotary axis that can cope with maximum loads of 3.5kg.

The maximum angle of rotation of the rotary axis is +/-270deg and the maximum speed in both versions is 1m/s with an acceleration rate of 3m/s.
