The 402/403XE utilizes a steel 'U' channel body design creating a more rigid structure when compared to traditional positioning tables.
The steel 'U' channel design also allows for integration of the bearing and ball screw nut, creating a more compact overall footprint while providing higher load-carrying capacities versus traditional bearing/actuator designs.
The 402XE comes in a 50mm wide footprint or with optional hardcover the footprint increases slightly to 57mm wide.
The 403XE is 60mm and 80mm wide without and with the hardcover option.
The release of the 402/403XE extends the Parker Automation product line capabilities to further accommodate application requirements in the medical, hard disk, lab automation, and high-tech markets while offering a robust engineering solution for OEMs and machine builders who have traditionally dealt with long lead times and poor response times or dealt with the frustration of designing, purchasing, inventorying, assembling, and testing all the components required to 'build your own' positioning table.
