The high-speed EXCT series T-gantrycan easily achieve cycle times of 670 milliseconds. It offers a higher dynamic response than conventional linear gantries and is scalable for a wide variety of strokes.
The gantry has a speed of 5 m/s and achieves acceleration rates of 50 m/s² over its entire working area thanks to a clever design that connects both toothed belt axes to the cross member with a single rotating toothed belt around the drive shaft. Being driven by two servos provides the positive side effect that there is no need to include a motor in the motion on the Y/Z plane with its two degrees of freedom.
Robust coded key safeguarding for hazardous machinery
The IDEM trapped key guarding system is developed on the transfer of coded keys between a power isolation and a locking mechanism. The essential feature of the system is that removable keys are trapped either in the guard lock or in the power isolation switch. The interlock on the guard is arranged so that a trapped key can only be released once the guard has been closed and locked.
The system works on the principle of releasing heavy duty coded mechanical keys in a pre-determined sequence to ensure machine power has been isolated before any access can be made into areas where hazards or dangerous machinery is present.
