LinX M-series Linear Motor

ANCA Motion designs and manufactures flexible control systems, specializing in high-precision solutions for CNC machines. Unique to ANCA Motion is the LinX M-series linear motor, which is housed within a slim body. The motor is highly energy efficient and delivers precision CNC applications or high-speed automation systems every time.

An early adopter to new technology, ANCA Motion will also reveal its Single Cable Motion System that adopts the Hiperface DSL protocol technology by using a single cable to simplify machine integration, reduce waste and offer improved diagnostics.

Naveen Nadesan, ANCA Motion marketing manager said: “There is a clear trend for companies to use energy in a more efficient manner. Replacing a pneumatic cylinder with a tubular linear motor reduces energy costs achieving a relatively short payback period of 6 to 12 months. The LinX M-Series linear motor therefore provides a unique benefit to OEMs seeking higher performance, accuracy and reliability in their machines.”    

Two LinX motors will be displayed in a V-structure parallel robot (V-Bot) arrangement showcasing

• high-speed pick and place application; and
• high precision contouring around various shapes.

The LinX M-Series is fully compatible with standard pneumatics accessories such as mounting plates, linear guides and couplings.

ANCA Motion’s Single Cable Motion System adopts the Hiperface DSL protocol technology connecting the drive to a servo motor using a single cable. The Hiperface DSL encoder technology offers significant

• savings in cabling; and

• high accuracy and precision with improved diagnostics.

Naveen concluded: “ANCA Motion offers a wide range of control systems and have more recently been working largely with laser cutting businesses, providing a complete motor solution for their machines.”
