Actuators engineered to lower automation
costs
Low cost range of linear actuators have been designed to expand the opportunities for factory automation by reducing costs for mechanising the handling of materials and products.
The Blue Line is a low cost range of Isel linear actuators, now available from Micromech, that have been designed to expand the opportunities for factory automation Overseas competition and high production costs means manufacturers are seeking ways to further automate the handling aspects of materials and products, the Blue Line can be a key element in cost cutting

Motion language that PLC programmers understand
A third generation intelligent servo drive with a modular structure control that has IEC61131-3 and PLCopen is ideal for use in a wide range of different applications.
The aluminium profile comes in two cross section sizes 126 x 72mm and 140 x 87mm and lengths up to 2050mm, the maximum speed for each range is 2.4m/s and 5.0m/s respectively.
The carriages have re-circulating ball bearings running on two 8mm diameter precision shafts and a timing belt giving repeat accuracy of less than or equal to +/- 0.2mm, with load ratings of up to 40Kg.
The limit switch accuracy is < 0.1mm.
To seal and protect the belt and gearing a hard cover is fitted as standard.
They can be supplied with or without motors fitted, mounted either end and with a choice of stepper or servo.
There are options for mounting feet, XY and XYZ brackets, couplings and drive bar for dual axis drive, and corrosion resistant versions are also available.
If the motors are fitted at the factory they can be integrated into the actuator, as can home and limit switches.
