Product: HDLS - Heavy Duty Linear Actuator
This large manufacturer of insulation products had the unenviable task of positioning mould tools from a 50m long conveyor into various filling stations under extremely hostile conditions.
Many linear systems would not last in an atmosphere filled with fine fibres that covered all surfaces and impregnated covers. A system able to work in such adverse conditions with a long service life would be vital. The application required a 10m X axis and a 2.5m Z to transfer the mould tool from the conveyor to the filling machine and a XY table movement of 2.7m to place the mould under the required filling nozzle.
Solution
A combination of a Heavy Duty beam 10.6m long with common rack driven carriage to enable direct fitting of the Z axis offered an ideal robust solution that would be unphased by the conditions. Both these axes function with only cap wipers to wipe debris from the slides and protect the bearings. Belt driven systems for both XY table movements were protected by bellows as this is where most of the contamination takes place.
