ATLANTA Integrated Racks & Rails

ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc., the World Leader in Rack & Pinion Drive Technologies, is pleased to announce a new range of Integrated Racks which mount directly to most standard linear guide rails, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving time and money. Compact, performance optimized designs can easily be achieved with these racks.

By mounting the rack and rail together, the need for a separate mounting surface for the rail is eliminated. Additional alignment between the rack and rail is also not necessary, since it is possible to assemble the rack to the rail off of the machine frame.

These drives are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, and material handling systems. Heavy load capacities and duty cycles can also be easily handled with this drives. Industries served include Material Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

This rack range further expands the already wide range of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives and is currently available in metric pitches up to module 4.0. Quality levels include soft (AGMA 9) and hardened & ground (AGMA 12). Typical delivery time for these standard components is only 2 to 3 weeks - ideal for OEM's requiring just-in-time delivery schedules.

4000 SERIES:

The Series 4000 Capacitec® amplifiers and racks were designed to offer the best signal to noise ratio and wide band width response options in a simple modular package. The 4000 Series was built upon our 20 year proven foundation of 3000 Series amplifiers (3101-SP, 3200, 3201-SP) still in operation. Utilization of individual pins in a 32 pin DIN connector increases reliability for more industrial applications where vibrations are present. The small Euro-style 2U size boards have appeal for small portable packaging as well as high (but lightweight) density applications. When coupled with Capacitec® non-contact displacement probes, they produce a linear output voltage proportional to the gap spacing between the probe and a ground plane. The systems are designed to produce stable and reliable operation with excellent gain and zero shift stability with respect to changes in ambient temperature. Stability is achieved with a digitally derived sine-wave oscillator, having a crystal clock as the frequency reference.

Other Features:

Other special features include synchronous detection, low drift operational amplifiers and a modular preamplifier (PC-201B) and power supply (standard). The units also have an optional linearization board to improve performance by a factor of ten from ±2% to ±0.2% linearity with no outside computer compensated curve fitting and without sacrificing frequency response (to 5kHz down 3dB). The amplifiers are designed to operate with every probe configuration and all sensitivity ranges by simple recalibration without internal part changes.

About Us:

ESAB Welding and Cutting Products
Hydrocut LR - Low-Rail WaterJet Cutting Machine

Large gantry waterjet machine can be equipped with up to 4 waterjet heads, multiple plasma or other process tools. Cutting widths from 8 to 20 feet and almost unlimited length.

Hydrocut LR - Low-Rail WaterJet Cutting Machine

The gantry features all welded, stress relieved, reinforced components with all contact surfaces machined to ensure accurate matchup with mating surfaces. Machined wheels and roller bearings provide smooth, precise machine motion. The thick wall box beam provided ample strength and stiffness to support the process stations over a maximum of 20 ft. width. An independent reinforced deck supports all auxiliary equipment without placing any additional torsional forces on the main beam.

It can be equipped with ESAB's Vision™ Computer Numerical Control for the most advanced waterjet optimized motion control in the industry. Process control for any material is as easy as selecting the material type and thickness.

The main rail system is a floor mounted assembly with machined "T" rails mounted on fully adjustable cast steel pads, and protected by bellows covers (not shown). This allows almost unlimited cutting lengths. The "T" rails are machined on three sides and are tongue-and-groove on the ends to interlock at joints, thereby eliminating sideways movement. Adjustments are provided on the mounting pads to facilitate leveling and alignment. Drive racks are mounted directly to the machined surface of the rail, ensuring proper alignment.

The beam, ways, and drive rack are all protected by way covers, and all process stations use a fully enclosed high-speed vertical lifter. Smooth, accurate motion is provided by digital AC drive amplifiers, AC brushless motors and precision planetary gear boxes. The system is geared for the waterjet process, providing travel speeds from 0.1 to 750 ipm (2.54 - 19,050 mm/min).

  • 3 Axis Gantry with Rack-and-Pinion Drives
  • Heavy-Duty Box Beam Design
  • Fully enclosed Y-axis beam and drives

PROSTAK Stacker Cranes Maximize Storage Density
  • Offers the maximum storage density of any other rack system. Especially when handling loads of varying types and sizes.
  • Utilizes removable steel pallets with adjustable locations in 4-inch increments. Therefore, different size loads can be stored without the loss of valuable storage space when compared to standard pallet rack with fixed storage levels.
    • *** Utilizing 100% of available storage space no matter what size loads are handled. ***
  • Wooden or plastic pallets are no longer needed saving 3 to 5 inches per storage level. Also, eliminates handling, storing and disposal of contaminated wooden pallets (ex. storing of pumps, motors, oil or chemical filled drums/barrels, etc.)
  • Utilizes Several Types Of Pallets With Bolt-On Features

Controls:

Standard controls used for trolley, rotation, and bridge motions are 2 step infinitely variable frequency controls

Variable frequency drives (VFD's) allow for precise positioning, thereby reducing damage to pallets, product, etc.

The ramp up and ramp down features of these controls eliminate high impact forces on the motor gearboxes and rotation pinion gears

The controlled acceleration and deceleration eliminates occurrences of wheel slippage thus promoting extended wheel and rail life

The ramp down or "dynamic braking" function of the VFD's act as the main braking mechanism while the motor brake acts only as a parking brake

Motor brake adjustments and component wear and failure are virtually eliminated because the braking is done electronically and at a controlled deceleration rate

VFD's also provide thermal overload protection for the gear/brake motors

Bridge enclosure (Nema 4/12) includes IEC rated mainline and brake contactors, branch circuit fusing, and wires are marked at both ends

Trolley & Bridge Drive Wheel Assemblies:

Utilize anti-friction sealed bearings which are lubricated for life

Wheels are a spheroidal graphite cast iron, a material with a self lubricating effect which results in a high resistance to wheel and rail wear

Wheels are double flanged with rotating axle drive arrangement, therefore, the gearing, etc. is totally enclosed and not subject to the environment which prolongs the life of the equipment

Wheel hubs and shafting are splined which transmit torque better and last longer than arrangements that use keyed shafts

Machined bearing, wheel connection, and rotation drive frame surfaces for proper alignment and also prolongs the life of the trolley components

Special bearing with special hole pattern, inner race, and seals to provide a smooth and bind free rotation

Rotation drive is a helical geared, fan-cooled(TEFC), inverter duty rated gear motor with a finned housing

Rotation drive arrangement includes a slip clutch assembly to protect gearing from shock loads if the mast or forks are driven into the rack, or other rigid obstruction

The trolley is fitted with four sets of anti-kick up assemblies to prevent trolley derailment in the event that the mast is run into a rigid aisle obstruction
