Intended use

The spindle axis is intended to be used for positioning payloads in combination
with tools or as a drive when external guides are used.
A rotating ball screw drive converts the rotation of a motor into straight-line
motion. As a result, the slide moves backwards and forwards. The slide is ball-
bearing guided. The reference position of the slide can be queried by means of a
proximity sensor aB.
The spindle axis is approved for slide and yoke operating modes è Fig.1,
è Fig.2.
