The High-Speed Robot with linear motors

And you can cut off all the typical accessories of a pneumatic system such as compressors, valves, fittings, filters, pipes, etc….

Reducing the number of components required in an automation system, the risks of breakdowns, the mechanical wear and the need to obtain spare parts are reduced.

As they say, 'the fewer the better'...

This enables a significant reduction in installation costs, but above all in maintenance and logistics.

As there are no valves and pneumatic devices, noise is drastically reduced to a minimum level.

In high-performance automation cycles, noise is often an indicator of energy consumption. Especially for fast cycles, the high noise level generated by a pneumatic cylinder means that a lot of energy is literally disappearing into the air.

And this brings us directly to the delicate subject of energy consumption.

Serialpicker is a low-voltage electrical device and draws power only when it is in motion.

When the motor is at standstill or running at a constant speed, it does not absorb any power other than that required to overcome friction.

The kinetic energy that occurs during braking is converted into electrical energy in the motor (via the generator effect) and stored to be used for the next cycle.

A speed up to 6.8 m/s and accelerations of over 400 m/s2 allow Serialpicker to achieve short positioning times and high timing cycles.

Thanks to its electric drive, Serialpicker offers the advantage of easier reconfiguration and greater flexibility.

Serialpicker can be freely programmed, is not affected by load changes and can be started and stopped without problems.

This allows for greater flexibility in the design of production processes and production monitoring systems.

The Serialpicker actuation system is a direct drive technology type, in other words, the motor directly drives the load.

The linear motion is generated purely electrically and wear-free, without any intermediate coupling of mechanical gearboxes, pulleys, screws or belts.

As there are no intermediate devices, the kinematic chain inevitably reduces, eliminating the reversal backlash typical of mechanical gearbox systems.

When the work cycle requires:

• More than two positions*.
• That the positions need to be changed via software.
• Synchronous operation with a main drive.

Serialpicker provides the most cost-effective and powerful solution.

* Due to the high operating costs of cylinders and pneumatic systems, Serialpicker can also be an alternative in simple point-to-point movements even with only two end positions.

The accurate torque control of Serialpicker makes it ideal also for press-fit applications in assembly machines.

To avoid accidental start-ups, Serialpicker drives have a safe torque off (STO) function to safely shut down the final power stage.

By activating the STO input, torque inhibition is enabled in the motor with a high level of safety, preventing the motor from moving.
