3.1.2 Description of the carriage
The carriage (>>> Fig. 3-3) serves as a mount for the robot. It features a
mounting face which is equipped with two centering pins. The hole pattern on
the mounting face depends on the robot type. The drive unit, and the driver for
the energy supply system, are also fastened to the carriage. The carriage is
guided by means of four roller guides on the tracks of the beam.
The range of motion of the carriage is restricted by programmable software
limit switches. If the permitted movement range is exceeded, the buffers on the
beam bring the carriage to a stop.
The carriage can be mastered with a KTL mastering set. A mount with a gauge
cartridge is provided for this purpose.
3.1.3 Description of the drive assembly
The drive assembly (>>> Fig. 3-4) of the carriage consists of a servomotor, a
gear unit, an intermediate plate and fasteners. The pinion of the drive engages
with the rack on the beam, thereby moving the carriage. The drive assembly
is designed to be suitable for use with both the standard design and the mir-
rored design of linear unit. The drive assembly is fastened to the carriage via
the intermediate plate.
