Pick and place
Ultra-fast solution on the PLC
HepcoMotion presents its GFX system as part of a Stäubli guest exhibition cell at the SPS in Nuremberg.
The cell designed by robotics manufacturer Stäubli demonstrates the capabilities of state-of-the-art technologies in intelligent combination. In this case, Stäubli's TS2-60 Scara and the TX2 robot arm cooperate with the Beckhoff eXtended Transport System (XTS) and HepcoMotion's GFX linear guidance system in an extremely fast pick-and-place application.
The GFX linear guide system has a modular design and allows almost unlimited routing. Specially developed three-bearing movers guarantee absolutely precise guidance, even in clothoids. At 4 meters per second, the system is suitable for high throughput speeds with absolute precision. A maximum load capacity of 50 Newtons enables the Beckhoff XTS to be used even with higher weight loads.
HepcoMotion invites visitors to a short stand presentation daily at 2 pm (stand 458, hall 3). Here they can find out more about HepcoMotion's product range without obligation and learn about the advantages of the GFX system in conjunction with the Beckhoff XTS linear motor system. dsc
