Motion Index Drives, Inc. was tasked with designing, engineering, and manufacturing a linear transfer shuttle that is a cross between a robot transfer unit and a tool tray transfer unit.
There are many options today when it comes transporting small parts from one place to another in an automated process; cartesian robots, 3 axis scara robots, pneumatic cylinders to name a few.
The TG Series Right Angle Index Drives is Motion Index Drives’ right angle drive line that comes standard with steel housing. These units provide a robust solution for applications that require product placement in a particularly demanding environment.
Welding manipulator technology is helping companies with welding facilities increase productivity and profitability by reducing downtime and increasing welding speed.
To achieve lower production cost and improve return on investment, manufacturers are adding custom single or multi-axis weld positioning units to their process.
Multiple axis weld positioners are being implemented in many industries to reduce the footprint required to process and access parts, while minimizing the number of times a part has to be manually moved.
Benefits of this design includes not having to relocate or reprogram the robot since they are all one piece. It is controlled by a simple open loop VFD controller and explosion proof ac motor.
The LFA precision conveyor systems can be equipped with dual direct drive motors to optimize the performance, mostly to achieve higher speeds. This option of direct drive system is the most expensive option of the four and most time consuming and difficulty to integrate.
Our entire line of rotary indexing tables can be customized to meet your needs or standard designs can be recommended for your application.
