Bosch Rexroth has expanded its linear axes compact modules portfolio with the new size, 280 — it can support items up to 250 kg, which makes it suitable for transferring battery modules, machine tools, furniture, palletizing gantries, robotic transfer units and other larger items. Payloads can be moved over a length of 5,500 mm. The high acceleration of up to 5 g and a maximum speed of 5 m/s are suited for short cycle times while maintaining high degrees of precision. As a configurable component, the modules can shorten the engineering of single axes, multi-axis and Cartesian robots. The modules can be paired with automation packages that include a motor, drive and controls, which speed up commissioning and make operating easier.
