W O R K S H O P NEW DRYLIN E LINEAR ROBOT FROM TREOTHAM IS COMPACT AND COST-EFFECTIVE Move with ease and precision in the smallest of spaces. These are the requirements for linear robots, which are used, for example, in automation tasks in the handling area and test automation. Igus has now developed a new compact linear robot, the use of which is ideal in such scenarios. The automation of production processes is becoming increasingly important for mechanical engineering in order to manufacture products within the shortest possible time and at low cost. For this reason igus has developed a new, compact linear robot. The new lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin E linear robot is suitable for a wide range of applications, be it in medical technology with high safety requirements, or tasks in microe- ENERPAC LIFTS THE LOAD Telescopic hydraulic cylinders that can lift loads up to 600mm in a single movement are being introduced to Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea by an international leader in high-pressure hydraulics, Enerpac. The RT Series long-stroke multi-stage telescopic cylinders – in capacities from 14-31 tons – are designed for long cylinder strokes in confined spaces. They are particularly suited for extended lift heights when clearance is limited. The telescopic cylinders feature a multi-stage rod built from a series of nested steel tubes of progressively small diameter. “The longer stroke length of the telescopic cylinders will save operators time and simplify projects by moving loads a greater distance and eliminating the use of temporary cribbing,” says Enerpac national sales manager Darryl Lange. www.enerpac.com lectronics, or for pick & place functions for very small series. In a small working envelope of 400 x 400 x 100 millimetres, the small complete solution can carry loads of up to 2.5 kilograms at maximum speeds of up to 0.5 metres per second. Two drylin ZLW toothed belt axes and one drylin GRW gear rack axis ensure precise guidance and lubrication-free operation thanks to sliding elements made of high-performance plastics. Mounting brackets for system profiles are also available as an option. The linear robot is delivered ready to connect with NEMA17/23 stepper motors and encoders. 40 February 2018
