The Control Stand houses the touchscreen interface and consists of a podium-style frame, main electrical control panel, and
joystick. All electrical functions of the Axis Trichome Separator are controlled here.
Axis Trichome Separator is the main agitation unit that includes the vertical support framing and the relocating head.
Relocating Head is the mobile component of the Axis Trichome Separator. It has the ability to raise, lower, and pivot 90
degrees. This allows the operator to traverse from one vessel to another.
Vessel Guard is the safety cover and splash guard which protects the operator from paddle movement. The universal vessel
guard is designed to fit 3 Bruteless vessel sizes (30, 44, & 65 gallon). It is a thermal-formed part made from food grade PETG,
and is transparent in color, which allows the operator to see the process at work.
Interlock is an arrangement of safety switches which needs to be satisfied in order for the paddle to operate. If any of these
switches are not fulfilled, the motor will not function, preventing an unsafe scenario and injury.
Servo Motor is a closed-loop motor system that uses positional feedback to create accurate and repeatable movements.
Servo Drive is a component in the main electrical box that communicates directly with the Servo Motor. The main PurePressure
control board communicates paddle movements to the Servo Drive, which then communicates with the Servo Motor to execute
those movements.
Pneumatic Cylinders are mechanical devices which use the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating
linear motion.
Gas Spring is a type of spring that relies of compressed gas to provide a linear force. The Gas Spring supports the weight of
the relocating head while the Pneumatic Cylinder drives vertical movement up and down.
Cable Conduit is a corrugated, split plastic sheath for the protection of electrical cables and pneumatic tubing.
Cable Track (E-Track) is a plastic chain-style cable carrier that both protects the cables and limits the bending radius while
cables are in motion. The Axis has a vertical and horizontal Cable Track.
Paddle Coupler is a mechanical component on the Axis paddle that connects to the drive shaft of the Axis relocating head.
Drive Belt is a toothed belt that attaches to belt-driven pulleys allowing a mechanical transfer of force from the motor to the
paddle shaft.
Lifting Eye is an eyelet bolt that comes mechanically fastened to the Axis for lifting the machine.
Wash Vessel is a Bruteless insulated stainless steel vessel used for the cold water mechanical extraction of cannabis trichomes.
Filter Vessel is a Bruteless insulated stainless steel vessel dedicated for use during the filtration process of cannabis trichomes.
