Linear motor boasts extreme power
In response to the increasing demand for high-power linear motors Tecnotion has extended its product range with a new and extremely powerful model.
As the leader in linear motor manufacturing Tecnotion has taken this challenge on.
Right now a series of vacuum versions of the standard Tecnotion ironless linear motors are built into prototype wafer inspection machines under the name UM-V7.
The results are promising.
With a completely new motor design Tecnotion has succeeded in maintaining the ultra-precision for which all Tecnotion standard products are known.
By using stainless steel and avoiding plastics in the motor housing of the UM-V types Tecnotion has successfully solved the outgassing problem.
Even under the most critical vacuum conditions, such as 10e-7 the UM-V7 motor meets all the requirements concerning outgassing in relation to contamination management and rapid pump dosing.
Instead of using a conventional nickel coating the temperature control of the UM-V motors is realized with an advanced radiation absorption system.
This sophisticated system has proven to allow optimal motor and electronics cooling and thermal management.
