Challenge: XY positioning of large load (650 lb) with additional safety factors including manual override to position counterweight for larger assembly
Solution: Custom length heavy duty HDS actuators, motion control; full bolt stress analysis, FEA, and programming
Key Characteristics:
- Load: 650 lb, possible incline of +/- 10 degrees; Proof load is 2X standard load
- Speed: .125 in/sec; .300 in/sec possible
- Strokes: 24” in X, 50” in Y
- Dimensional Requirements: 48” x 89” x 9” (X, Y, Z, respectively)
- Specific material and finish requirements for mechanical and electrical components
- Customer-specified mechanical interfaces
- Electrical box with HMI
- No exposed serial/USB/common computer interfaces; no RF connection; no accessible non-volatile memory after final assembly
Result: Our team of engineers was able to design, create and deliver the Motorized XY Actuator Assembly as per the customer’s requirements.
