Introduction to the product
1.1
Fields of application
Continuously increasing demands on the economic benefit of electric ma‐
chines require new problem-solving approaches to fulfill the requirements on
dynamic, accuracy and synchronization. Conventional NC-drives, consisting
of a rotary electrical motor and mechanical transmission elements like gear‐
boxes, belt transmissions or gear rack pinions, cannot fulfill these demands
or, only with high effort.
Due to the wide application range of ironless linear motors, medium to midget
mass can be moved and positioned high-dynamically and high-precisely.
Based on the above-mentioned advantages, typical applications result for ex‐
ample in:
●
Electronic, placement technology and manufacturing technology
●
Semi-conductor technology (z.B. wafer inspection and bonding)
●
Medical technology (e.g. transport of pipettes)
●
Solar technology (e.g. laser structuring)
●
Precision and ultra-precision machining
Even in other areas, for example, in machine tool industry, printing industry
and especially in measuring technology, the advantages of this technology
becomes important.
The ironless drive technology offers a lot of significant advantages in oppo‐
site to a ferrous motor, without accepting disturbing ancillary effects like cog‐
ging. For this reason, it is the optimum option for many applications.
Significant advantages of ironless linear motors are:
●
Highest dynamic
●
Excellent control quality and synchronization
●
No magnetic attractive force, no detent torque
●
High-precision positioning behavior
●
Direct power transfer – no mechanical transmission elements like ball
screw, toothed belt, gear rack, etc.
●
High efficiency - low overhead
●
Maintenance-free drive (no wearing parts at the motor)
●
Simplified machine structure
