Positioning system H-portal

The H-Portal is a cartesian positioning system, that is available in 3 different expansion stages. All motors of this positioning system are fastened stationary.

• X/Y-System
  The X/Y system is based on the proven linear units Module 80/15 and Module 115/42 or Module 115/42 B. They form the base of the H-Portal.

• X/Y/Z-System
  The X/Y/Z system can be expanded to a gantry with the linear unit Module 60/33.

• X/Y/Z/W-System
  An optional turning unit at the Z-axis is available for demanding positioning tasks.

The belt in the X/Y-system is arranged in an H-shape. The movements in X and Y-direction are realised by one belt. The belt is fixed at the slide of the Y-axis. The drive takes place at one of the 180°-deflections at the X-axis. For a drive in X-direction, both motors have to be turned exactly oppositely, in Y-direction both
motors have to be turned synchronously. If one motor stands still, the system drives under 45°. The movements of X and Y are therefore dependent on both motors.

These elements are ideal for the levelling of assembly surfaces which cannot be mechanically processed or only with great  effort. You can find more information and helpful tutorials here.
