Features
• Parallel kinematic principle
with CFK rods
• The pyramid shape results in a
closed mechanical chain with
high rigidity
• Broad construction and broad
attachment to the frame
• Configurable system solution
• Safety concept for rod loss
detection
Benefits
• Minimum moving mass –
maximum dynamic response
of drives (150 picks/min)
• High process reliability
and accuracy for joining and
inserting applications
• Optimum flow of reaction
forces into the machine frame
• Low vibration tendency
of frame
• Festo Plug & Work
®
: easy
to commission
• Detaching the rods does
not damage the tripod or
the system
Tripod EXPT
The high-speed handling unit with robot functionality for free move-
ment in the space provides precision in movement and positioning,
combined with high dynamic response up to 150 picks/min.
The very rigid kinematics has a pyramid-shaped arrangement:
the drives which are securely connected to one another and their
motors do not move.
Features
• Ready-to-install control system
from a single source, in a con-
trol cabinet or on a mounting
plate
• Basic function or extended
control functionality
• Precise fit for integration into
the kinematic frame
• Easy to operate and maintain
the entire system, including
control package and mechanics
• Harmonised safety concept
with “safe stop” function
Benefits
• Easy project management with
a single partner, including
application-specific integration
into the complete system
• Control solution appropriate
for the application and kine-
matic requirements
• Optimum use of available
space
• Quick and easy commissioning
and maintenance
• Teach pendant
• Reliable system operation
• Fulfils the requirements of the
EC machinery directive
• Easy integration into the cus-
tomer’s protective circuit
Control package CMCA
The control package with optional PLC is used for free 3D path
control with demanding and highly dynamic kinematics.
It comprises a robotic control system, motor controllers, control
cabinet or connecting plate. Additional functions can be integrated.
The complete package with kinematics and basic parameterisation
of the entire system is supplied ready to connect.
