The building-block system is the perfect way for users to put together their own technically – and economically – optimized industrial automation solutions. By adopting the modular approach, i.e. adding together individual modules such as linear and rotary manipulators, grippers and guide rails with carriages, users can assemble anything from a simple pick-and-place system to a multi-axis robot. Various models and sizes of mass-produced module are available, capable of transporting loads of up to 3.150 kg or more and of traversing at speeds of up to 6.5 m/sec over distances of up to 30 meters or more. The different families of modules can be combined, and users are free to mix and match the various kinds of drive: electric, hydraulic or pneumatic. The resulting versatility means that each task can be tackled in the most appropriate way.
