Simplifying overhead machine tending with long-travel automation

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Cartesian robots with the right design upgrades can assume manual transfer operations. By Michael Everman • Founder and CTO | Bell-Everman Manufacturing and packaging operations using manual material or parts handling operations can reap immediate benefits from automation with long-travel Cartesian robots having custom end-of-arm tooling (EoAT) and advanced sensing capabilities. These robots can support […]

Motion trends update: Positioning stages lead charge to pragmatic design

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The AZ60-A motorized vertical elevator stage from Optimal Engineering Systems (OES) is a low-profile 183.7 x 80 x 38 to 42-mm stage. It works for low-cost, high resolution, wedge-type elevator applications needing precise vertical positioning.

Positioning stages today can satisfy specific and demanding output requirements. That’s because customized integration and the latest in motion programming now help stages get incredible accuracy and synchronization. What’s more, advances in mechanical parts and motors are helping OEMs plan for better multi-axis positioning-stage integration. Mechanical advances for stages Consider how traditional stage builds combine […]

Linear Stage Features New Drive Mechanism

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

ServoSpline

Bell-Everman’s new ServoSpline™ positioning stage offers a unique drive mechanism that provides backlash-free motion and simplified control. ServoSpline is an extension of a classic rack-and-pinion design that provides simple motion commands and positions the stage in the x- and y-axis by independently driving the two splines. It provides engineers with a reliable stage that is […]
