1. Innovative guide technology developed in-house
- Excellent rigidity
- Guide has exceptional load bearing capacity
- Lightweight
- Precise and smooth, virtually vibration-free slide movement over the entire stroke range up to 2.5 m
- Possible to use a smaller size for lower weight, smaller installation spaces, reduced costs
- Virtually vibration-free and very smooth slide movement
- High speeds over the entire stroke range up to 8.5 m
- Very long service life
2. Innovative stainless steel cover strip solution
- Magnetic belt deflection without components causing abrasion on the outside
- Clean surface, no abrasion on the outside
- Minimised particle emission for use in cleanrooms
- Reduced ingress of dirt in harsh ambient conditions
3. Two different profiles
Standard (ELGD-TB): square profile cross-section with optimised design
Wide (ELGD-TB-WD): reduced profile height for smaller installation spaces and more compact handling systems
- High torsional rigidity with lower weight and reduced costs
- 30% lighter, while rigidity and load capacity are still similar to the axis with standard profile width
- Overall height reduced by 30%, but feed forces nevertheless similar to the axis with a standard profile height
4. Various slide options
- Long slide and second freely movable slide
- For higher axial and lateral torques and higher loads
- Additional mounting options
- Longer service life thanks to a second slide that allows the guide load to be distributed
Application example with second slide: simple and flexible dual pick-and-place solution
- Very compact design with two independently moving both Z-axes
- Long Z-axis guide for excellent rigidity, even at high speeds and loads
5. Optimised profile design
- Optimised force flow and torque absorption
- Excellent rigidity
- Long strokes of up to max. 8.5 m
6. Freely selectable motor positions
- Freely selectable at two positions at the end of the axis
- Motor with cable connection can be mounted 4 x 90° around its own axis
- Its position can be changed at any time
- Define a standard mounting version with a part number and change it to a different position at a later date, as and when needed
7. Different toothed belt materials
- Polyurethane (PU2) with fabric sheath for a long service life and higher resistance to cooling and lubricating fluids. Steel cord tension members enable high forces to be transmitted and also allow the axis to be dynamically controlled
- Polyurethane (PU1) without sheathing, but with a steel tension member for applications in the food zone
8. Optional sensing for greater reliability
- Inductive proximity sensor SIES8M as NC/NO with switching output PNP and NPN, and degree of protection IP67
- Easy to mount up to 2 sensors in the profile slot without needing additional mounting components
- Flush mounting without interfering edges outside the drive cross-section
- Sensors can easily be added or repositioned at a later date
