ELAX® Direct Drive Linear Slide for fast and precise pick-and-place units.

These new, electric linear motor slides ELAX^® Ex from Jenny Science are predestined for fast and precise pick and place units! Furthermore, the programmable force control processes open new application possibilities in handling, assembly and inspection. With these features the ELAX^® linear motor slide also convinced the jury of the chamber of commerce and won the Swiss Innovation Award! Moreover these components are extremely robust and sustainable. In our endurance tests they achieve over 350 million cycles under maximal stress and highest dynamics without re-lubrication or maintenance.

Your immediate benefits:

• New applications thanks to force processes
• Flexible positioning
• High dynamics, up to 3 m/s (9.84 fps)
• High precision +/- 10 µm, resolution 1 µm
• No noice, little vibrations
• Single cable connections
• Modular system with strokes of 30-150 mm

Your benefits in the long run:

• Maintenance-free for > 350 million cycles
• Constantly stable accuracy
• High cycle rates
• No exchange of dampers
• No replacement of sensor cables
• Savings in time and maintenance
• Less energy consumption

Perfect modular construction system – A determining key factor in the development of the ELAX^® linear motor slides with direct drive. No matter if held flat, upright, or as linear cantilever, the ELAX^® Ex linear slides can be directly screwed together by dowel bushings without the need of adapter plates. The hole matrix always has a grid of 20 x 50mm (0.79" x 1.97").

ELAX^® is the evolutionary step of the widespread pneumatic slides. The great accomplishment is the patented compact integration of the linear motor in the slider case, resulting in a force/volume ratio which has hitherto never been achieved. A further essential key factor for future oriented automation solutions with ELAX^®  linear slide are the components with direct screw connections, the flexible one-cable connection and the function “force calibration” with which you can control, limit and monitor forces – no need for an additional force sensor.
