Screw drives make a significant contribution to automation
The effective automation requires high-precision, fast and resilient movement – often in the smallest of spaces. Today, SCREWTECH screw drive are present in every conceivable field of automation, and technological developments continue to bring new challenges to linear drive technology. Through individual designs or special manufacturing processes, we make the impossible possible by adapting our products to the respective application with specific requirements. This is how you create products that bring your innovations to the forefront of the industry.
The high helix ball drive "Carry" with end cap deflection is the heart of the spindle extension unit, enabling mechanical changeovers in a fraction of the time. The extraordinary driving speed with low drive power and low self-heating comes into play here - power, speed and precision.
Durable general purpose equipment often performs automated serial inspections and analyses within months. Move on the Z-axis, pick up liquids, control the guide axis: three standard "Speedy" threaded spindles manage and adjust the test program - with unprecedented movement speed and highest precision.
17 meters in diameter, about 1000 aluminium mirror segments and 2000 ball screws, 240 square meters of mirror surface: the world's largest telescope of its kind can focus on any point in the sky in just 20 seconds. Each mirror plate is aligned with a pre-adjusted laser spot - driven by two "carrying" 12 x 2 ballscrews.
