Electric ball screw scissor lift table

EnKon Systems recently introduced a new electric ball screw lift table for automation and robotic applications that require maximum control. Control features such as long standing static load positioning, accurate repeatability and speed directed by variable frequency drives are said to provide manufacturing or assembly plants with the power needed to improve their application's operation.

The lift system can integrate with robotics, conveyors, machines and any other automated system. Precision control capability is +/- .03" (.76mm). The electric ball screw lift system, compatible with alternating current AC or direct current DC motors, is capable of lifting up to 50,000 lbs. (22,680 kg). Captured wheel guides prevent the lift's platforms from tipping, and a catch nut system prevents the lift from falling in the event the load bearing nut fails. High duty cycle capabilities and low maintenance requirements are additional features that add to the lift system's attraction. EnKon Systems is the new brand name for Herkules Equipment Corp.'s electric, hydraulic- and air-powered scissor lift table systems. Herkules has been manufacturing lifting equipment for about 30 years.
