ICP: In-line Cartesian Positioning Base

Back To Bases

The ICP is our in-line model for working over conveyors or dials. This particular design has a number of advantages over competing systems:
1) The design has the characteristics of any cartesian versus SCARA multiple DOF arms - mainly that these minimize motor torque requirements.
2) In conjunction with item #1, the lower torque also means the bearing systems are subject to lower wear and tear, increasing system longevity.
3) The design completely encloses the motion elements, potentially maximizing safety.

    ICP Rabbit Line Configuraiton 24" x 24" x 3" (600mm x 600mm x 75mm)
This particular configuration was developed a number of years ago, but recent enhancements have made this worth noting again. This design has gone from an 11" x 11" area to a 24" x 24" area. Surprisingly, the reason for this development was an index table application that required the larger dispense area.
An added attribute of the new design is the capacity for much greater head payloads. This design exhibits minimal deflection even with head configurations exceeding 20
