Festo
30 % shorter cycle times
According to the manufacturer Festo, the most important features of the cantilever axis with toothed belt ELCC-TB include its compact design, 30 % shorter cycle times and 50 % less vibration.
This is due to the high rigidity of the toothed belt cantilever axis and the low moving mass. A stainless steel cover strip protects the internal recirculating ball bearing guide.
With sealing air, the cantilever axis is suitable for use in dusty environments or on machine tools. A locking unit holds loads securely and acts as an emergency brake. With its stroke of max. 2 m, the cantilever axis is ideal for vertical installation as a Z-axis, for example when palletizing or erecting boxes. It can also be used horizontally or, according to Festo, at any other installation angle if the axis needs to be removed from the work area.
