Another 2-axis machine on its way to the end user facilities.

Designed by our integrator partner PRST to work in an ATEX environment, this cartesian machine is composed of a wall mounted linear axis mounted on two lifting pillars. It is equipped with 2 P-350iA robots from Fanuc.

The main challenge here was to remain precise with a very heavy load to lift of 9 000Kgs. So as not to have oversized engines, we worked with Redex on an innovative solution : a counterweight in the master pillar and a well sized gearbox that allowed us to achieve our goals.

Protected linear axis wall-mounted on two lift pillars for ATEx environment. 

The protected linear axis allows the translation of th two poly robots around the piece on which a work of laser surfacing and coating is done. This machine is a great example of our capability to build taylor-made cartesian robots based on our standard products including for specific environment such as ATEX.
