MiniTec’s modular profile system: New adapters combine linear axes to multiple-axes-systems
For 25 years, MiniTec has continued to establish themselves as a successful and proven supplier of turn-key solutions for linear technology. Precision round guides, rail guides and linear modules including drive and control units are among the wide product range. Especially short delivery times, creative non-standard solutions and custom-made items confirm the good reputation as a customer-oriented supplier. One new development conveniently complements this portfolio: With the new high precision adapters, the MiniTec linear axes can be combined easily and economically to multiple-axis-system. Different jobs like material handling, packaging, pick-and-place, material testing, marking or laser machining can be handled flexible and precisely.
Schönenberg-Kübelberg, April 2013 – Linear axes and modules based on the MiniTec aluminium profile system are demonstrating their reliability in many different applications for more than 25 years. The German manufacturer relies on its own production, a comprehensive stock-holding as well as custom-oriented service. With each service offered, MiniTec has acquired a market leading position. The complete range consists of the compact guides LR6 from 45 mm up to the heavy duty 180mm axes, LR 180. The key characteristic of this linear system is the modular concept throughout the range. All components are compatible with each other and have the same groove size. This modern construction principle provides freedom during design and helps find the optimal solutions – without being forced into compromises. MiniTec has now extended its modular system, which is based on linear components and aluminium profiles. With the new developed high-precision adapters all linear axes can be combined easily and economically to multiple-axes-systems. Jobs like material handling, packaging, pick-and-place, material testing, marking or laser machining can be handled flexible and precisely.
Multiple-Axes-Systems from the Modular System
The adapters are suitable for fastening guide rails onto slides as well as slides on slides. With adapters having stop edges and holders, extensive adjustment of the system is not necessary. The slides for the linear guides are equipped with double-row profile ball bearing rollers. For use with higher loading capacity, the slides can also be equipped with more bearings. The length of the slides is variable and can be adapted accordingly. The play free the guiding rails is adjusted and secured by eccentric bushings. They serve simultaneously to fix the rollers. The slides are encapsulated on both sides with cover caps with integrated lubricating felts which serve as life time lubrication for shafts and as scrapers against dirt on the guiding rails. The rails consist of the modular profile in which the rod holders with the high-precision steel shafts are clipped into. The compact-guide rails are equipped with 6 mm shafts; standard-guide rails with 12 mm shafts.
The heavy-duty guides are arranged with 16 mm high-precision steel shafts on double angular ball bearings with increased load capacity. Guides with a traverse distance of more than 20 meters can be achieved by rail connection. The longer guides are driven by gear racks or toothed belts. For high-precision linear axes with optimised installation space, the LMS modules with recirculation ball bearing guides and recirculating ball screws are available. All guides can be delivered as components, as assembly kit or completely ready for installation. Additionally, MiniTec assumes the layout of the guides and the completion to ready-to-use modules including drive and control units and the application programming for their customers.
