The EZ-4360 linear axis was originally designed for use in measuring machines and for moving optical components. The almost 300 mm long slide travels on the granite with bearings located far to the outside, allowing the transmission of high tilting moments. The solid granite rail and the ZeroMetTM (Renishaw) scale guarantee good repeatability even with moderate temperature fluctuations. The slide is designed for payloads of up to 20 kg. Its surface offers plenty of space for customer-specific structures and sensors. The axis is driven by a linear motor (Tecnotion UL6). Due to the magnetic preload, the axis can also be operated vertically. An incremental measuring system (Renishaw TonicTM) is installed in the standard version. Deviating strokes can be realized on request.
Applications:Electronics manufacturing, PCB manufacturing, inspection technology, non-contact 2D measurement, sensor and camera positioning for inspection, AOI (automatic optical inspection), automation processes.
In general: Applications with high demands on dynamics, precision, repeatability, smooth scan movements, short settling times.
