EXCM mini is designed for:

• Space-optimized installation
• Low moving mass
• Both standard application principles:
• Movement of the process
• Movement of the product
• Various levels of automation:

1. Desktop
2. Lean line/semi-automatic
3. Full automation

Movement of the product

The product moves within the process or from process to process.

Example: the EXCM moves a load carrier (microwell plate) within a dispensing unit in a pre-analytical process.

Movement of the process

The process moves over a stationary product.

Example: the EXCM moves the screw unit to the screwing position.

Movement of the process

The product moves within the process or from process to process.

Example: the EXCM carries out two process steps (bonding and pick & place).

Movement of the process

The process moves over the product on a conveyor.

Example: two EXCM units are placed one above the other to ensure an increase in the cycle rate within an optimized installation space.

Parallel kinematic drive concept:

• Reduces moving mass, enabling highly dynamic operation
• The synchronous motion doubles the drive performance in X or Y motion resulting in high dynamics.

Extremely compact design

• Good ratio of working area to installation space
• Maximum utilization of the working area

Simple system concept

• Integrated motor and controller
• Simple commissioning
• Easy to use
• Maintenance-free

Mini planar surface gantry EXCM in 2 sizes (EXCM-10/30)

EXCM -30

• Flexible system configuration (kinematics, motor, controller)
• Rigid mechanism, payloads up to 3 kg
• High precision (repetition accuracy 0.05 mm in XY)
• Max. acceleration: 10 m/s²
• Speed 500 mm/s
• Scalable mechanism (max.: X=700 x Y=360 mm)
• Flexible motor attachment (top or bottom, with various cable outlets)
• Flexible mounting MUE (incl.)
• Clean design with smooth surface

EXCM-10

• Payload up to 0.5 kg
• Standard strokes in mm (x = 150/260/300/360/460/700; y = 110)
• One standard system solution (integrated kinematics/motor/controller)
• Cost-effective

The servo twin controller is optimized for closed-loop-controlled stepper motors (for EXCM-30/EXCM-10). This function is known as ServoLite.

It is also a position controller for:

• X/Y coordinate transformation
• Linear interpolation
• Position and speed control
• Direct position or set selection mode

Different interfaces:

• Control via Ethernet (CvE)
• CanOpen (FHPP)
• Digital I/O

Plug-in EXCM for FCT (Festo Configuration Tool)

PLC activation

• Ethernet: Direct positioning/set selection
• Digital I/O: set selection
• CANopen: Direct positioning or set selection

Easy system configuration in four steps

PC or notebook with Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) via Ethernet LAN.

• Selection of mechanism (according to EXCM type code)
• Selection of control interface (CAN or IO or Ethernet)
• Definition of coordinate system (axis zero point)
• Input of XY target positions in the set/position table

Accessories

• Sensor mounting including switch lug
• Proximity sensor for T-slot, inductive
• Control cable for I/O interface to any controller
