The lifting of the X axis is mechanical, generated by a gear motor and screwnut connected to the loadsupporting device composed of a steel bracket.
The rotation of the Y and Z axis is mechanical, generated by a gear motor coupled with a self-braking motor with speed control via inverter system.
All the controls are on the control unit and on the hand held remote, which are installed on the master column or a wheeled trolley.
Most of the technical features can be customized.
Our positioners can feature for 4.0 Industry.
