The AMS 100i from Leuze is one of the smallest laser positioning systems available on the market. This makes it the perfect solution for tight installations spaces.

Whether on the stacker crane, automated guided vehicle, or lifting system: In automated intralogistics, the sensors used for positioning applications must be able to operate on a small footprint in many cases.

Ideally supplementing the welding Cobot: Linear axis for greater working space, long parts, and multi-station operation
Advantage of the Cobot Move: Moving the Cobot along the linear axis can weld both repeat elements and long parts in the expanded working area

Transportation ball screws are popular across industry as a cost-effective alternative to precision ground ball screws. The manufacturing process is ideal for applications that do not require the finite precision of a ground ball screw, but must still reliably transmit linear loads and provide high speed yet accurate positioning. For such applications, NSK’s transportantion ball screws – namely the PR/LPR and BS Interchangeable series – are in high demand.
