Linear modules

High Speed Automation HLE-RB Series

The HLE-RB linear modules are idealas single axis products or as compo- nents for high speed multi-axis gan-tries. With thousands of units in opera-tion worldwide the HLEs are proven performers offering long life and trou-ble-free operation.Construction: The HLE Linear Moduleconsists of a lightweight carriage whichcan be precisely positioned within anextruded aluminum housing by a tim- ing belt and pulley drive system. Thehousing, constructed from extruded aluminum with a square cross section-al geometry, demonstrates excellent deflection characteristics.The protective “anolite” coating pro-vides durability as well as an attractive silver appearance. It includes T-slotsalong its entire length for flexible mount-ing. The drive mechanism is a zerobacklash steel reinforced timing belt. The tension station, conveniently locat-ed at the end of the unit provides for quick and easy belt adjustment. Thedrive station is designed to accept planetary gear reducers as well as awide variety of servo and stepper mo- tors. The bearing system for the RBmodels is comprised of three rows ofroller wheels integral to the carriage which are guided by extruded trackswithin the housing.

Proven Technology Typical Fields of Application Optional Features

Proven in numerous applications, the HLE-RB series offers the following advantages:•Low running friction•Low particle generation(washing room suitability to class 100)•Low wear•Low maintenance •Quiet operation•High efficiency•Long service life•High dynamic performance due tolow-mass, play-free wheels•Minimal preventative maintenancerequired•T-slots integrated on all sides of theprofile for mounting attachments orfor use as a cable duct•Manufacturers of timing belts can be replaced withoutremoving load attachment plate•Multiple configuration options due toT-slots available on both the profile and load plate As part of advanced, cost-effective construc- tion of machines and handling systems manufacturers:• •Direct mounting for planetary gearreducers•Adjustable “end of travel” limit switchesand “home” position sensor manufacturer•Clean room preparation option•Wire carrier systems •Performance matched Parker servosystems•Structural components for verticaland multi-axis mounting•Toe clamps manufacturers and hardware forfast and easy mounting•External bumpers •Link shafts and support professional bearings fordual axis units•Splice plates for extending travelsbeyond length available in a singleprofile Materials handling: palletizing,depalletizing, feeding, part removal• Cleanroom technology: wafertransport, wafer coating• Warehouse technology: parts picking,storage and retrieval• Unit tool automation: workpieceloading and unloading, tool changing• Construction: formwork, placingreinforcing steel bars in concrete• Process engineering: painting,coating, bonding• Testing technology: guiding ultra-sonicsensors, laboratory equipment• Textile machinery: crosscutting,slitting and stacking, quilting, seam stitching
The T-slots of the load attachment plateand the HLE profile are suitable for T-nuts and T-bolts. Plastic caps protect the interior from dust. A spring-loaded felt insert cleans the strip seal. Magnetic strips recessed in the profile ensure that the strip seal is fully sealed with the profile. Polymer inlays serve as a bearing surface for the strip seal. The timing belt is attached to the carriage with a serrated clamp mechanism which assures a strong connection and makes belt replacement easy without the need to remove payload.
