A linear unit can be equipped with up to four independently controlled carriag-
es. Variants with mirrored design and a tender carriage are also possible. The
carriage is designed to be suitable for every design of linear unit. The tender
carriage does not have a drive of its own. It is moved by being coupled to the
carriage.
The carriage is driven by the drive unit (drive assembly), an AC servomotor
with gearing and a pinion, which engages with a rack. The movement range of
the carriage is limited by programmable software limit switches. It is addition-
ally safeguarded by means of mechanical stops (crash elements).
The carriage is equipped with a horizontal mounting face for mounting the ro-
bot.
The linear unit may optionally be fitted with working range monitoring.
3.1.1 Description of the beam
The beam (>>> Fig. 3-2) serves to fasten the linear unit to the floor. Beyond a
beam length of 10 m, several beams are lined up and screwed together using
a connecting assembly. This ensures that the arrangement of the beams re-
mains the same.
The beam is fastened to the floor through a mounting base. If a number of
beams are fastened together, a special mounting base is used at the joints.
The tracks and racks are screwed onto the beam.
