Watch an exclusive webinar featuring Design World’s Senior Editor Lisa Eitel and Nexen Group’s Regional Manager Jean-Paul Beyak.
Gantry and robot positioning and transfer systems often need components that provide high speed, high positional accuracy, low backlash, low maintenance, long life and safety. In this webinar, we covered how to meet these design objectives even for long-stroke applications. We covered the use of drives that use belts, rack-and-pinion sets, linear motors, and ballscrews for this purpose … and went over their benefits, drawbacks, and limitations.
In addition, we heard from Jean-Paul Beyak, an engineer with our sponsor on this topic. Nexen Group Inc. offers numerous linear and rotary precision motion-control products that integrate well into robotic positioning systems. Beyak explained some of Nexen’s product offerings, including a zero-backlash roller pinion system in linear-rack and rotary-gear forms; a high-speed PRD Precision Ring Drive indexer; and the compact HG Harmonic Gearhead.
