Tripod EXPT
Highly dynamic and precise
movement:
accurately adjusted,
powerful servo motors, coordi-
nated with a robotic controller
for free movement in 3D.
Configurable motor position
for optimum installation
Standard components:
economical thanks to simple,
quick and low-cost spare parts
Minimum moving mass:
CFK
rods connect the front panel to
the rigid axes, the drives convert
their performance directly into
dynamic response
Rod loss detection:
any detach-
ment of the rods is detected by
the pneumatic circuit; neither
the system nor the tripod is
damaged in the event of a
malfunction
Standardised front panel:
interface for easy connection of
gripper and vacuum solutions
from Festo
Sturdy basic frame:
wide
connection to the support frame
for optimum power flow and
reduced vibrations
Pre-assembled installation con-
cept:
line and tubing guide for a
non fatigue critical solution with
maximum dynamic response;
flexible expansion possible
High rigidity:
the pyramid shape
results in a closed mechanical
chain for maximum precision
and process reliability, e.g. for
joining applications and inser-
tion operations
Rotary drive with high power
density:
precise, highly dynamic
and infinite rotation with a low
dead weight
The high-speed handling unit with robot functionality for free move-
ment in 3D space provides precision in movement and positioning,
combined with high dynamic response of up to 150 picks/min.
In combination with the very rigid pyramid structure, the control
package with robotic controller ensures high path and positioning
accuracy. It is perfect for pick and place applications, sorting and
palletising tasks, as well as adhesive applications.
All in all, the tripod is an excellent system thanks not only to low
purchase costs but also low operating costs, as the low moving
mass reduces energy consumption. Reliable series components and
reduced vibrations contribute to a long service life and extended
maintenance intervals.
