Swivel drives

The swivel arm module rotaryARM can be used for any assembly, handling, packaging, palletising and further applications that require a fast and precise automation solution. Optionally it is available with an additional NC-turning axis for the gripper. The new generation of swivel arm and turning axis of the rotaryARM can be rotated endlessly. This is made possible by an integrated rotary feed through for pneumatics and electrics. This also saves an additional energy chain. Additionally the system is very stiff and has low own weight including motors and absolute encoders.

Features

• NC-swivel arm module with optional turning axis
• Endless rotation with swivel and turning axis
• Large working area with compact dimensions
• Short cycle time by overlaying speed of swivel arm and linear axis
• Rotary feedthrough for pneumatics and electrics integrated in the swivel arm, thus no additional energy chain necessary
• Servo motors with absolute encoder
• High resolution in swivel and turning axis
• High stiffness
• Low net weight

By default, the servomotor type AM8012 is used. However, servomotors from other manufacturers can also be used, provided they have the following dimensions on the output drive:

• Flange: 40 x 40 mm
• Shaft diameter: 8 mm
• Bolt circle: 46 mm
• Centering: 30 mm

The swivel arm module rotaryARM in conjunction with linear units is a very fast pick & place system that features
high speeds and playloads. It can be used in mechanical assembly, material handling, packaging, palletising and
many other operations requiring fast and precise automation. The rotaryARM has a range of 297, 399 or 537 mm
and can be delivered with an additional NC-turning axis for the gripper.

Pick & Place with highspeed!

With the miniSPIN-series a compact handling unit with highly dynamic traits was developed. The concept was designed to position small parts with a weight of up to 20 grammes. Typical pick & place operations can be realised with very short cycle times of about half a second.
The miniSPIN-series can be used as single station as well as in combination with linear units. In connection with the directly driven linear axis euroLINE, highly dynamical handling systems can be realised, e.g. to handle product pallets.
To enable optimum use of the miniSPIN series, standardised lever lengths of 87mm or 151.5mm are available.

Features

• Selectable lever lengths (87 mm and 151.5 mm)
• Cycle times for 2x 180°: 240 ms at 20 g.
• Standard interface for attachment of different quills
• Prepared for mounting of customer servomotors
• Actuators can be programmed as independent multi-turn actuators
• Modular design (service friendly and easy to maintain)
• Optional single or dual channel air or vacuum supply
• No moving air hoses
• Lightweight

Applications, eg:

• Fast handling for components with a net weight of up to 20 g:
• Clocks, medicine and pharmaceuticals sector, Precision engineering, micro-assembly
• engineering Check: Contact components, vision system (overhead)
• Placing parts from horizontal to vertical position
• Handling of components up to a maximum of 100 g on request
