A supplier of automation technology to medical OEMs produces compact EGSK and EGSP ball screw axes with a recirculating-ball-bearing guide that are designed to provide precision, repetition accuracy, and rigidity in electronics and precision processing applications, such as pick-and-place equipment, vision inspection systems, measuring technology, and engraving machines. These modular mechatronic multiaxis systems offer hundreds of freely combinable and harmonized components for gripping, joining, rotating, and accurate 3-D positioning. Supplied ready to install, they can simplify the design process and satisfy tight budget requirements. Their steel housing forms the guide rail, and the four rows of balls are arranged to give the guide carriage the same basic load ratings in both radial coordinate directions. The axes can be used with the manufacturer’s motors and drives. The supplier supports its systems with procurement and logistics, design, documentation, assembly, and commissioning.
