LT50 used in a frame with XYZ motion
20 December 2019Last week we were able to deliver a new frame in which our linear units from the LT50 series have been processed into an XYZ movement. This application is offered by Almotion to perform measurement with a special head on a product. The range of this measuring head is 500x500x500 mm. The mass of the measuring is very low, so the LT50 series could be chosen. A repeat accuracy of ± 0.1 mm is sufficient.
Product specifications linear units LT50
These compact linear units have a Brecoflex toothed belt of type AT5 with a width of 25 mm. In addition, there are two versions for guidance;
- A guidewheel with 4 wheels on hardened shafts -8- mm
- A ballguide rail size -15-
In this application, a guidewheel has been chosen for the X-axes because one unit is motor-driven and the others are only “run along guides”. The guidewheels run very lightly and can absorb small alignment errors. With this XYZ movement, the Y-axis is more rigid because the Z-axis hangs on it. That is why a guide rail has been chosen here; this is a stiffer and more robust guide.
Here you go to the product page of the LT50 for more product information.
See below the images of the frame with the LT50 units built in with an XYZ movement.
