Optimized machine movement

Shuton-Ipiranga has developed the XP Xtrem Position product family with a special focus on linear movements in machine tools. It is available in two versions - Complex and Prime - and enables a high number of cycles. The Complex series is designed for high speeds and loads and is used in five-axis machining centers, multi-spindle machines and mould processing machines, among others. The Prime series comprises high-precision ball screws with a small lead for medium-speed applications, such as grinding machines or spark erosion machines.

If heavy-duty actuators are required, for example in the areas of injection molding, energy, lifting systems and presses, the XL Xtrem Load product family is the first choice. The ball screw drives have been optimized for heavy-duty applications. Three types are available to meet the various requirements in terms of load ratings and speed and to achieve optimum service life: IML, HDL, PKL. With the MG Rail linear guideway from Rosa Sistemi, Rollon offers the answer to the growing technological challenges in machine tool construction. The MG Rail has hardened and ground raceways with rollers. Thanks to its high load capacity, rigidity, its lubrication and sealing concept and its reliability even in dirty environments, it is suitable for high-precision positioning.

Linear technology for machine tools

Efficiency is the be-all and end-all in the production process. Machine and lifting doors as well as drawers for parts logistics also make a significant contribution here. Quick opening and closing shortens cycle times and therefore increases productivity. Rollon systems such as the Compact Rail, the X-Rail or the Telescopic Rail move safely and smoothly and are also highly resilient.

The Compact Rail and X-Rail are self-aligning linear guides. Combinations of different rail and roller types can be used to compensate for parallelism errors of the mounting surfaces in one or two planes (axial and radial) as well as height offset or angular errors between the guideways. This shortens the assembly time, reduces production costs and ensures flexibility. The roller guides have a compact design, are insensitive to dirt and dust and are low-maintenance with a long service life.

The telescopic slides of the Telescopic Rail have particularly rigid profiles and exhibit very little deflection even under maximum load when fully extended - ideal for pull-out elements such as drawers and control panels. The compact pull-outs are characterized by a high load-bearing capacity and long service life, are resistant to impacts and vibrations and offer a high level of safety thanks to various locking and damping mechanisms. The product family includes full and partial extension runners that enable strokes of up to 2 meters in both directions.

Rollon's linear axes are also suitable for linear gantries for loading and unloading as well as vertical tool storage and tool changing systems. The Smart series in particular has proven its worth here. The belt-driven linear axes are suitable for harsh environments and limited space. The product family copes well with high load capacities, where the carriage is exposed to strong forces, and achieves high speeds and accelerations as well as high repeat accuracy thanks to the steel-reinforced drive belt.
