#109 Single Axis Unit (Stage Type)
Category : Linear Motion Components
March16, 2012
Procurement of a linear motion mechanism with a servo motor will require the following man-hour steps of a design engineer.
- Requires many design process man-hours due to high number of components involved.
- Long lead-times for precision construction elements such as linear guides and ball screws.
- After the parts are procured, accuracy oriented assembly work will be required.
Therefore, some challenges exist through the process of designing to completion and long lead-times. The new product "Single Axis Unit" is a proposal to assist solving these issues, and has the following characteristics.
(1) Characteristics of "Single Axis Unit"
Component procurement process and assembly work can be omitted with the following characteristics.
- Ball screw driven units compatible with various servo motors.
- Ball screw DIA., lead/base width/stroke/table length are selectable.
- Short delivery time, specified with only part numbers (8th day shipment).
