IEF-Werner: Toothed belt axis allows a compact pick & place system for handling of different drilling tools
A producer relies on a fully automated pick & place plant by IEF-Werner in order to remove drills of different sizes with only a few millimetres of shaft diameter quickly and precisely, supply them to a marking laser and subsequently place them in a work piece carrier. The automation specialist installed amongst others, a linear axis of the series 160/15 G for the positioning system. This toothed belt axis is equipped with two independently moveable slides. This is how not only a fast but also compact unit may be realised, as for both gripper units only one axis is needed.
