General description

The LPKF XY 160/120 GL Gantry Drive is a precision positioning system with air bearings and a monolithic granite sub-structure. It consists of two separate axes, each of which is individually optimized. Guidance is by means of air bearings along high-precision granite paths.
Each axis has a high-resolution linear scale with an exact reference point.
The use of direct current linear motors with air-core rotors enables highly dynamic positioning and motion tasks to be performed.

Application

The LPKF XY 160/120 GL is preferably used in machines which place high demands on path accuracy and productivity. These include: 

• Laser cutting and engraving systems (e.g. photo templates)
• Sensitive microassembly systems
• Optical inspection systems
• Medical engineering systems

Options

• Multiple axis arrangements, e.g. Z axis, rotary and
  swiveling system etc.
• Vacuum clamping table
• Control with the LPKF MotionSystem®
  (e.g. synchronous operation of up to 6 axes)
• Increased accuracy through more precise position measuring
  systems
• Increased guidance accuracy through tolerance specification of the
  guide surfaces
• Increasing the resolution
• CAA field correction
• Integration into user-specific machine concepts
• Safety measures around the system
• Testing protocol
