PI has introduced a new high performance gantry stage system, further increasing its gantry linear robot product family. The A-352 direct-drive gantry covers overhead motion ranges up to 2 meters x1 meter and is based on a total of 3 direct-drive, closed-loop, brushless linear motors. Guided by high load mechanical linear bearings, it is ready for demanding 24/7 industrial automation applications.
For maximum uptime and accuracy, absolute measuring linear encoders are integrated making homing procedures unnecessary and eliminating the possibility of dropped encoder counts from incrementally operating encoders. The ironless 3-phase linear motors are free of cogging, for improved velocity control and constancy.
