Pick and place handling module GW series
Sankyo America
Sankyo's GW series X and Y stroke linear handler is designed to be driven with a rear mounted spur gear. A rounded housing configuration permits multiple units placed around a drive gear in close proximity. One full cycle (home-pick-place-home) is done with one input shaft revolution to easily synchronize with other equipment and share a common drive. Stand-alone units can be shaft driven with gearmotors or belts from the top or bottom of the housing. Each unit can apply forces in both directions within ±0.02 mm (±0.0008") positioning accuracy. Rigid cast iron housings support dual linear slides to reduce vibration and inertia. Our units dissipate vibration by using large mass internal components and rounding the X-Y stroke transition to enhance the overall life span. Inverted-U motions are commonly used for pick & place applications, but L-shaped, double pickup and inverted-T motions are available without extra cost.
