Custommadeand completepackage
IPTEdesigned theXYZW-gantrysystem
with four degreesof freedom,with
support from Festoduring thedesignand
productionprocess. TheX-, Y- andZ-axes

integrateddisplacement encoder and
mini slideEGSL. For the rotaryunit
(W-axis), Festodevelopeda custommade
module. Thegantry for flexibleand
controlledspeedandacceleration (XYZ-
axis) anda rotarymoduleERMBwere
speciallyadapted to thesystemandare
used for liftingand rotating thesoldering
needle. Thismeans that thesystem can
reachevendifficult toaccess locations in
thesensor housing, andsolder at
precisely the right anglewith the right
force. It is capableofhighspeed
positioning, despite thehighmoving
mass.
Guaranteedmore reliability
IPTE’snewmachine concept canbeused
anywhere. Apart fromsoldering
applications, it canalsobeused formany
other taskssuchasdispensing.Thegantry,
which includesservomotorsand

anadditional level of reliabilityby
guaranteeing the functionof thesystem

receivesa ready-to-install handling
system, hecanalsobesure that itwill
