Straightforward commissioning - no wear parts
As is the case with conventional pneumatic axes, the electric SCHUNK ELP is actuated via binary signals, making it no problem to replace a pneumatic mini-slide with one. Since the compact units manage without hydraulic shock absorbers, commissioning and maintenance work is virtually eliminated. What's more, you do not need to worry about potential damage to your system or long downtimes due to defective shock absorbers. The electric axes also score points due to their long lifetime, lower operating costs compared to pneumatic modules and a high level of process stability.

The linear axes will be available from the third quarter of 2016 in three sizes (25, 50, 100) each with three stroke variants. They have a repeat accuracy of 0.01 mm and a maximum nominal stroke of 200 mm. Due to the standardized hole pattern, they can be combined directly with numerous modules from the world's largest system range for modular high-performance assembly from SCHUNK.
