Designs in standard and miniature ballscrew
Steinmeyer will show a selection of the latest designs in standard and miniature ballscrew at Machine Building 2007.
Open frame precision positioning stage
Steinmeyer open frame precision positioning stage model KDT 180-DC, offers a sleek low profile design with an overall height of only 32mm and square footprint of 199 x 199mm.
At Machine Building, Steinmeyer introduced its latest ballscrew design - the ETA+ to the British market.
ETA+ comes very close to being the ideal linkage between motor and slide by providing an extremely stiff but highly efficient connection with no reversing error.
Rigidity has been increased by 50 per cent, compared to standard ballscrews, and friction reduced by 67 per cent.
Working closely with its customers, Steinmeyer specialises in providing tailored ballscrew solutions for a wide range of applications.
Examples of these solutions were on show at Machine Building.
Steinmeyer ballscrews use a very complex profile of thread grooves of the screw and inside the nut.
It is designed to meet the requirements of increased stiffness, smooth motion and low friction.
These profiles, developed from the 'gothic arch' profile, allow for optimum control of contact angle, track conformity and backlash of single nuts.
Also on display were examples of the Steinmeyer FMD (Feinmess) linear stages, capable of operating in nano movement ranges.
Feinmess recently launched a new Nanometre Stage with long travels.
The systems can be equipped with different encoders having a resolution of up to 5nm.
Therewith, a repeatability of +/-10 nm can be achieved.
