LINEAR CONVEYOR MODULE
The Linear Conveyor Module LCM is a transport system that features the module structure and high speed direct drive by a linear motor. It helps you build up highly value-added, general-purpose transport systems between processes. Featuring high speed, high accuracy, high speed motion from one point to another, assembly work on sliders, and motion of sliders in the reversed direction, the Linear Conveyor Module LCM achieves high throughput.
LCM - 100
Improve takt time
Lower running cost
Long Service life
Shorter start-up time
Reduced transport line space
Increased throughput
Flexible line configurations
Excellent maintainability
1. Two-second reduction in takt time
Reduced transfer time
High-speed and high-accuracy transfer
Max. speed: 3000 mm/sec.
Max. acceleration: 2G
Max. load mass: 15 kg
Repeated positioning accuracy: +/−0.015 mm (standalone slider) Note
Note. This is the repeated positioning accuracy for a standalone slider when positioning from one direction (single-side approach).
Note. The positioning accuracy for the single-side approach after correction by RFID is 0.1 mm including the mutual difference between sliders.
2. Modular production allows highly flexible line structure
Save equipment space
Can be moved efficiently between processes with different takts
Workpieces do not need to be retracted
Significant reduction of start-up time
Construct branching lines, joint lines, and other lines in flexible configuration
3. Additional modules provide expandability.
Flexible set-up of the slider’s acceleration/deceleration, forward/backward movement, positioning, and other actions. The variety of possible line structures has been greatly expanded to supersede conventional models.
Belt modules can be selected
Easier to design and implement
4. Excellent maintainability
Optimal for small batch production of various product types
Quick recovery by replacing the slider when machine trouble occurs
Easy maintenance
