TURNTABLES n FERRIS-WHEEL POSITIONERS n HISTORY Motoman has extensive worldwide experience integrating servo-controlled positioners and tracks into a broad range of robotic solutions. For more than 20 years, Motoman positioners and transporters have provided unmatched speed, accuracy, robustness and reliability. They use the same field-proven motor controls as Motoman robots and are manufactured to the same exacting standards. Motoman also leads in control technology with multi-tasking software that allows coordination between multiple robots, base axes and multi-axis positioners. DESIGN...

HEADSTOCKS n MULTI-AXIS n TRANSPORTERS ROBUST, FIELD-PROVEN, Life Tested Every Motoman positioner product is developed following ISO 9001 procedures, so products adhere to a strict international standard of quality. Released products are dedicated to a unique Life Test area, where continuous life cycle testing of half a million dollars worth of equipment is performed 24/7/365. This ongoing effort represents more than 80 years of testing time, and is designed to identify potential problems before they occur in the field. Even details like weld grounds were engineered and life-tested for...

DROP-CENTER AND TILT-ROTATE PositionERs Multi-axis positioners provide added application flexibility. Many provide two axes, allowing most welding to be done in the optimum position, thereby increasing travel speeds. Motoman software supports the coodination of both axes with robot motion.

Transporters Moving the robot greatly increases the working range and application flexiblity. Motoman provides rotary transporters for robots in overhead- or floor-mounted configurations (MotoSweep-O, -F). Linear transporters are also available (MotoRail) in wall- or floor-mounted configurations. Both are available in heavy-duty configurations for large-payload robots. Multi-axis gantries are also available. MotoRail n Suited for machine load/unload or welding applications n Track motion is coordinated with robot n 6-axis robot on rail provides additonal range of motion and lower cycle time...
