Linear Axis for Industrial Robots
Developed by Aenox Engineering as a proprietary product platform for robot applications – engineered for demanding applications, not just handling.
A configurable high-stiffness linear positioning module developed for industrial robots and automated manufacturing systems. The architecture is designed for long travel, repeatable positioning, demanding payloads and clean integration into industrial cells.
- Robot-mounted linear positioning
- High-stiffness guideway architecture
- Configurable travel length
- Direct or geared drive options
- Integrated cable management
Technical data (typical configuration)
| Robot weight incl. payload | up to 4,500 kg |
|---|---|
| Travel length | 3–72 m, modular segments |
| Repeatability | ±0.005 mm (at the secondary absolute linear encoder) |
| Speed / acceleration | up to 1.6 m/s / 2 m/s² |
| Drive | Direct linear motor (optional: backlash-free dual pinion drive, ground rack, precision planetary gearboxes) |
| Guideway | Profiled rail guides |
| Cable management | Integrated cable routing for dual-sided machining |
| Covers | Telescopic covers, bellows or walk-on covers |
| Position feedback | Secondary absolute linear encoder |
| Carriages | 1 or 2 |
| Clamping elements | Pneumatic |
| Levelling feet | Every 250 mm, for optimal load transfer and maximum straightness under load |
All values depend on configuration; application-specific sizing on request.
Speed and acceleration are optimised for stiffness and process stability, not for cycle time.
Dimensions (example configuration)
| Height | 615 mm |
|---|---|
| Width (bed) | 1’000 mm |
| Overall width incl. feet | 1’117 mm |
Dimensions of the example configuration shown. Overall length and foot spacing scale with the configured travel.
