Vertical Gantry With Rotary

While most x-y-z gantries have a horizontal orientation, sometimes the job calls for a vertical system. We recently produced just such a system for a test-and-measurement application. At 3-meters tall and 2.8-meters wide, this vertical gantry was constructed from ServoBelt™ Linear Medium stages with two different chassis sizes—90 x 180-mm on the horizontal linear stages and 45 x 90-mm on the vertical linear stage. A ServoBelt™ Rotary 100 unit provided an additional rotational axis at the end of the secondary horizontal axis—or what would have been the the z-axis in a horizontal x-y-z gantry.

New Linear Motion Engineering Guide

Get all the details you'll need to select and size our linear motion stages. Our new engineering guide features our entire lineup of ServoBelt™ Linear and LowBoyLinear stages, which are suited for a wide variety of high- and medium-precision positioning tasks.  These easy-to-integrate motion stages cover a wide variety of applications—including factory automation, packaging, semiconductor, lab automation and test-and-measurement systems. 



Agricultural Automation

First Steps Toward Agricultural Automation

With the emergence of self-driving tractors and other robotic systems capable of working the fields, the agriculture industry is ripe for automation. It may be some time before you see any robots wandering freely through a farm field near you, but there are related operations that can easily be automated right now.



New LowBoy Linear Motion Stages

Our new LowBoy Linear Stages are available in five different models—each with a different drive mechanism to address a range of precision, speed and force requirements. The drive choices include air- and iron-core linear motors, two ballscrew options and a lead screw drive. Watch the video to learn more.



LowBoy

LowBoy Linear Stage Features New Modular Design

With their modular design, LowBoy Linear Motion Stages let you choose the ideal price-to-performance ratio for a variety of applications, which include semiconductor, packaging, medical, assembly, lab automation and industrial machines.



New ServoBelt™ LoopTrack Linear Stage

Our latest ServoBelt™ linear stage features a new LoopTrack carriage design that allows the stage to span long travel distances in any orientation. This linear stage also allows multiple, independent carriages to share a chassis and bearing rails.



Rotary Stage Collet Closer

Collet Closer For Rotary Stages

The latest add-on for our ServoBelt™ and Direct Drive Theta rotary stages is an air-actuated collet closer that securely holds cylindrical goods for tasks such as laser marking, engraving and inspection. Watch the video to learn more.



ServoBelt™ Rotary Collet Closer

New Rotary Stage Collet Closer Handles Cylindrical Goods With Ease

Precision rotary stages often work as part of inspection, metrology and laser marking systems. But what happens when the good to be inspected is a tiny cylindrical item?



ServoBelt™ Rotary Through Hole Differences

A large through hole is helpful when you have to pass utilities through the center of a rotary stage. But if you don't need the extra room for utilities, you can opt for a lower cost rotary stage with a standard-sized through hole. Watch this video to learn more.



ServoBelt™ Rotary

ServoBelt™ Rotary Stages Cost Up To 50% Less

ServoBelt Rotary stages are now available in a low-cost version that offers smaller through hole dimensions but otherwise keeps all the technical performance of our original ServoBelt Rotary stages.
