Application example Swivel station placement machine
Requirements
Application example placement machine
Circuit boards are assembled in this swivel station. The requirements consist of a quick 180° rotation, with a maximum swing time of 0.4 seconds and a cycle of 1.0 seconds. The high acceleration results in high torque. At the same time, maximum precision is required in terms of positioning and repeatability.
Bearing solution used
Advantages
Bearing assemblies with direct drive are suitable for applications where high performance and low space requirements are important criteria. The integration of the drive into the bearing housing means that wear-prone assemblies for transmitting drive power, such as toothed belts, shafts or chains, can be dispensed with. This reduces the required drive energy and also benefits more accurate positioning.
