Technical Information

The LS Hybrid transfer system optimizes a classic pallet transfer system with mechatronic and highly dynamic properties. These features add more flexibility and efficiency to production lines. WEISS will design the drive technology and plug & produce properties with variable design freedom in accordance with the customer application. In addition, the system allows a longitudinally timed flow assembly to have more process capability, which is ensured by fast, precise carrier transport.

Machine concepts that are superior to purely linear machines with a rigid product flow are now possible. This makes the LS Hybrid a poster child for modern assembly automation that works efficiently as an integrable transport platform and reaches new productive spheres.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

  • Self-designed innovation with eCam Module
  • Superimposed motion profiles of cylinder curve and servo motor
  • Flexible system configuration based on a modular design principle
  • A combination of different drive types: eCam and belt module or linear and belt module, each with a redirection module
  • WEISS Application Software (W.A.S.) makes commissioning quick and easy
  • Approx. 60 parts per minute, depending on stroke and process time
  • Jerk-optimized motion profile
  • Absolute locking without additional indexing
  • Wide range of parts due to loading up to 10 kg
  • Position, acceleration, speed and direction of movement freely programmable with linear motor module high precision (± 3/100 mm in X, Y and Z)
  • Almost seamless stringing together of any number of eCam Modules with the same stroke possible

Feature LS Hybrid with 2 eCam Modules on each side. For application requirements with consistent indexing at highest precision and dynamics. LS Hybrid with 8 eCam Modules on one side for application requirements with consistent indexing at highest precision and dynamics. 8 Belt Modules on the opposite side provide the fast return. LS Hybrid with 2 eCam Modules on each side, each decoupled by 1 Double Belt Module for transport between process stations. Combination of different firmly interlocked process positions using different strokes with highest precision in each position. LS Hybrid with 3 Linear Motor Modules on each side, for freely definable positioning and process patterns as well as motion sequences with high accuracy requirements and cycle rates. LS Hybrid with 5 eCam Modules on each side, virtually endlessly couplable and expandable without intermediate belts. For application requirements with consistent indexing at highest precision.
