Modular linear slides are general transmission components in automation equipment. Linear module is also called linear module, Cartesian coordinate robot, linear slide table, etc. It can realize the linear and curved motion of the load through the combination of various units, and is an important part of the automation equipment, which can make the light-load automation more flexible and the positioning more accurate.

Linear modules can bring a lot of convenience to industrial equipment, and have the advantages of fast moving speed, high repeat positioning accuracy, light weight, small equipment space and long service life. It is widely used and favored by equipment manufacturers.

Application field

1. Automatic dispensing equipment, automatic locking screw machine equipment. Combined into a three-coordinate motion platform.

2. Automatic welding equipment, the linear module is responsible for the movement of the welding torch;

3. Automatic nut planter, the linear module is responsible for loading the heated nuts into auto parts;

4. Automatic detector, linear module is responsible for sending the product to be tested to the CCD detection range;

5. Automatic assembly and automatic handling. Linear modules are responsible for the transportation of the parts.

Different industries have different requirements for the effective stroke, bearing capacity, operation repeatability, operation speed, and use environment of the linear modular slide table. Businesses should find a satisfactory linear model where operating speed is one of the parameters of interest.

So what are the factors that affect the running speed of the linear module slide?

Motor drive

The motor drive is an important factor affecting the operating speed of the linear module. The operation of the linear module requires the cooperation of the motor drive. Different types of motor units have different operating speeds. Common motors on the market include servo motors and stepper motors.

internal structure

The internal structure of the linear module can be divided into synchronous belt type and spiral type. The linear module of the timing belt runs faster than the linear module of the screw, and the linear module of the screw is better than the linear module of the timing belt in force and accuracy.

maintainance

We all know that the better everything is maintained, the longer it takes, and the same goes for linear modules. After normal operation, without maintenance, it is prone to wear and tear during operation, resulting in poor speed and accuracy. Therefore, maintenance is very important.
