CARTESIAN ROBOTS - BUILDING BLOCK UPON BLOCK
As a result of its close relationship with Toshiba Machine, TM Robotics sells the company’s range of linear multiple actuators and Cartesian robots throughout Europe.
The Cartesian series, more commonly known as the ROIbot, uses a simple modular building block design, allowing single or multiple axis configuration to be built from the same standard components. This system allows for over 500 configurations whilst the compact design minimises space requirements.
Each axis can handle up to 100kg and features AC servomotors, precision ground ball screws and high rigidity linear guides. Motors can be mounted on either side of the axis, or underneath, to reduce its overall length.
A range of optional extras and essential accessories, such as cable management, fixing and connecting plates, junction blocks as well as brackets and linking cables are also supplied. In short, the Meccano construction kit analogy, though often over-used by engineers, genuinely applies in this case.
Also included in the range are belt driven axes in a variety of sizes. These actuators can handle up to 40kg at speeds of up to 2000mm/sec. Both factors depend on motor size, which can be up to 200W, whilst speed is also relative to payload capacity. The stroke range can be up to a maximum of 2500mm on the largest model. Repeatability across the range is ±0.05mm.
The junction box unit can be mounted almost anywhere along the axis and allows cable to exit from any of five directions. The ROIbot is supplied with a unique flexible tube carrier system, which can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The unit can be programmed using familiar WINDOWS™ based programming tools to make robot use as easy as possible.
