The main requirements are high speed and high precision. The machine has two XY tables, two Z-axes and one 2m-long axis with two carriages.<\/p>\n<p>The customer had been using ball screws for the XY tables (two short stroke axes). To overcome backlash, large friction and mechanical vibration produced by the ball screw mechanism, the customer has decided to switch to\u00a0<strong>PBA Systems DX B Ironless Linear Motors<\/strong> which are able to produce faster and more precise motion compared to ball screws and is more cost-saving since ball screws will need to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>The 2m long axis uses two carriages. For this axis, the customer cannot use ball screw, which can only have one carriage, whereas multiple carriages can run on one linear motor magnet track. Another reason why ball screw is not suitable for the 2m-long axis is because the ball screw shaft will deform under gravity for such a long axis. The ball screw mechanisms can&#8217;t achieve high acceleration, because of large friction and mechanical vibration. The customer has decided to use PBA Systems\u00a0<strong>DX B series Ironless linear motor\u00a0<\/strong>for overcome the above problems.<\/p>\n<p>PBA Systems DX B Linear Motors have met the customers&#8217; high speed and high precision requirements and the machine is now used to produce a highly popular American branded tablet.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"34%\"><strong>Earlier Configuration<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"66%\"><strong>Current Configuration<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"34%\">\n<ul>\n<li>Ball screws + Rotary servo motor<\/li>\n<li>PLC &#8211; Mitsubishi PLC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"66%\">\n<ul>\n<li>PBA Systems Ironless Linear Motor Module DX30B-C2S (XY Tables and 2m-long axis)<\/li>\n<li>Driver \u2013 Elmo COR 5\/230<\/li>\n<li>Encoder &#8211; Renishaw RH200, 0.5 um<\/li>\n<li>PLC &#8211; Mitsubishi PLC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h5>Die Mapping Sorter Machine<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbasystems.com.cn\/newsletter\/october2012\/ic_mapping_sorter_01.jpg\" alt=\"IC Mapping Sorter with DX B Linear MOtor\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The customer wanted to achieve high speed and high precision for a die mapping and sorting machine.
