Extremely rigid and lightweight, fast and reliable, the powerful ELCC cantilever axes can take on many roles. These include palletising and erecting boxes in the packaging industry and a wide range of positioning tasks with long strokes at vertical, horizontal or other installation angles. With a profile that moves in and out of the workspace, the axis can be removed from the working area.

Cost-effective, yet powerful and very flexible: the EPCC with ball screw drive enables precise and rapid positioning in simple positioning tasks. And its compact dimensions are ideal when you need to make optimum use of installation space: in assembly systems, test and inspection systems or desktop applications, in small parts handling or the electronics industry.

The simplicity of pneumatics is now combined for the first time with the advantages of electric automation thanks to the Simplified Motion Series. These integrated drives are the perfect solution for all users who are looking for an electric alternative for very simple movement tasks, but don't want the commissioning process for traditional electric drive systems that can often be quite complex.
There is no need for any software since operation is simply based on the "plug and work" principle. Digital I/O (DIO) and IO-Link® are always automatically included – a product with two types of control as standard.

For applications where compact dimensions are essential, these

axes can be combined into very space-saving handling systems

that fit seamlessly into assembly systems, testing and inspection

systems, small parts handling units, desk top applications and in

the electronics industry. The low-cost linear axes ELGC and the mini

slides EGSC offer an optimal ratio between installation space and

working space. They feature a common system approach, platform

architecture and, last but not least, adapterless connections.

The compact and low-cost spindle axes ELGT with integrated double guide are perfect for integrating into 2D and 3D cantilever systems. They have been developed for a wide range of applications, whether in the electronics industry, in desktop applications or in battery manufacturing, where they can be easily combined with axes ELGC and mini slide EGSC. Or they can be used in test and inspection systems, in small parts handling or in assembly systems.
