H2W Technologies’ new single-rail positioning stage H-gantry design is an open-frame X-Y stage. The positioning system has two bottom parallel axes with one cross axis connecting the two (to form an H gantry).
Each linear axis uses H2W’s brushless linear motors (BLDM-B04) and:
- Each has a total stroke to 25.67 in. (652 mm)
- Each can generate 6.2 lb (27.8 N) of continuous force and 18.7 lb (83.3 N) of peak force …
- Or each can output combined 12.4 lb (55.6 N) continuous force and 37.4 lb (166.6 N) of peak force on the bottom axis.
The noncontact 1-µm resolution encoders allow for precise positioning. The moving tables are guided by a precision recirculating linear ball-bearing system. The linear axes are assembled on a single piece of aluminum extrusion to reduce overall system weight. The top cross axis mounts to the bottom parallel axis using rigid aluminum extrusions, 90° right-angle gussets, and custom extrusion end plates. The system mounts to a flat aluminum tooling plate base. There are also provisions that allow end users or designers to route cables within the cable carriers. It has end-of-travel rubber bumper stops. Other features:
- Low system weight
- Built using standard extrusion profiles
- Cable carriers to route payload cables
- Three axes of coordinated motion
Additional options include a home positioning sensor, end-of-travel-sensors, and custom mounting holes. Single extrusion length of up to 6 m long, allows for longer stroke applications. For more information, visit this deep link at H2Wtech.com.
