Direct drive positioning mechanisms for fast and responsive machine motion
IKO designs and manufactures several styles of positioning tables driven by linear motors that act as accurate and repeatable positioning mechanisms in a variety of applications, from semiconductor manufacturing equipment to assembly systems
Linear Motor Tables (LT)
Linear Motor Tables (LT) are lightweight, direct drive positioning mechanisms with low sectional heights. An AC servomotor and miniature optical linear scale are integrated within a high-strength aluminum table and bed to achieve fast acceleration and highly responsive positioning.
- A C-shaped magnet yoke set between two stator magnets, along with a high-density coil, enable a driving force of 150 to 900 N for fast, precise motion.
- The three styles of the LT series are: compact (CE), long stroke (LD) and high thrust (H).
- Built-in C-Lube lubrication components for long life and maintenance-free operation up to five years or 20,000 kilometers and beyond.
- Applications include semiconductor equipment, measuring instruments, assembly systems and material handling machinery.
