Omega Module

Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.
