EPS giga YZ & EPS tera YZ Force Handling Systems

Expanding its range of the EPS YZ standard systems, the EPS giga YZ can apply 255N press-in forces, while the slightly larger EPS tera YZ can apply 1,024N. This means that the user has sufficient power available for press-fitting tasks.

The boom systems are ideal for fast movement of high payloads. The EPS giga YZ moves up to 15 kg and the EPS tera YZ up to 20 kg. The high payload does not influence the repeat accuracy of up to +/-0.02 mm. Standard weight compensation is available for Z-strokes of up to 500 mm, which ensures even shorter cycle times.

Both systems are powerful and fast: In a 1.5-second pick & place cycle, consisting of six consecutive movements and a gripping time of two times 100 ms, the systems move a payload of 10 kg by 100 mm on the Y axis and 100 mm on the Z axis. The YZ stiffness is responsible for the high precision of the systems, which is made possible by an optimum slide contour of the individual axes.

Further advantages of the handling systems are their very small width and height. At just 180 mm in width, the energy chain, the optional external distance measuring system, and the weight compensation are all taken into account.
