Overview
The MGS gantry system has been developed to optimize throughput for overhead motion applications. This stage is ideal for 3D printing, assembly, pick-and-place, inspection, alignment, and industrial automation applications.
The MGS uses preloaded linear mechanical bearings developed to provide improved stiffness and accuracy. Optional stainless steel guide rails could be delivered.
The gantry axis has guaranteed dual linear motors and dual linear encoders. Ironless linear motors offer smooth motion and no attractive forces or cogging. The linear motor and encoders are noncontact devices, so no backlash, wear, or maintenance issuesarise
The A-352 has been coupled with first-in-class controllers and drive modules from ACS that provide excellent servo performance, advanced control algorithms to enhance dynamic performance and error compensation, and an extensive range of software development tools.
