rotaryArm

  • General details

    The rotaryARM swivel arm module in combination with linear units is a very fast pick & place system for all tasks that require a fast and precise automation solution. The diameter of the working area is 148, 199 or 268 mm.

    The module can be used for all assembly, handling, packaging, palletising and other applications that require a fast and precise automation solution. It is optionally available with an additional NC rotary axis for the gripper. In the new generation, the rotaryARM's swivel and rotary axes can be rotated endlessly. This is made possible by a rotary feed-through for electrics and pneumatics integrated in the swivel arm. This also eliminates the need for an additional cable carrier. Other features include high rigidity, low dead weight and motors with 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
  • 3 variants of the swivel arm module

miniSPIN

  • General details

    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

    In this animation, our compact handling unit miniSPIN is shown by means of an application example. Compared to an axis system, several miniSPINs working together per handling cycle can save time during a product inspection with a camera, for example, and thus enable a higher throughput.

Typical pick & place operations can be realised with very short cycle times of about half a second. For these pick & place processes, for example, this animation shows how the lifting suction cup used here for product handling works.
