An optional bellows protects the spindle in oily or dirty environments. The adjustment unit has a modular design and is easy to convert. With slide widths of 30, 50, 80 and 120 millimetres, the user can operate any stroke they require. IEF-Werner equips the system with a bus interface to simplify work with frequently changing positions. This allows the units to remember their own position. Precise adjustment is carried out using an adjustment knob with a 0.05 millimeter scale. The user can position the slide by hand and fix it with a clamping lever. Depending on the position of the slide, however, this lever can be difficult to access. IEF-Werner has therefore created the option of clamping the slide to the spindle. The possibilities of this adjustment unit are manifold.

One example of use: setting the distance between two tracks on a conveyor belt independently of each other. Rings with different diameters are precisely positioned here. In subsequent work steps, these rings are assembled into wipers for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. The railing serves as a lateral boundary and fixes the transported goods precisely on the belt. A Variostack palletizing system provides the rings on pallets. A linear handling system places the components one after the other in one of two parallel tracks. If the diameter of the rings changes, an employee must adjust the distance between the corresponding rails. This allows products of different sizes to be transported on both tracks at the same time. pb
