Bosch Rexroth's Feed Modules VKK feature an aluminum body with integrated eLINE rail inserts and a stationary eLINE style carriage which guides an extending thrust rod that is driven by a ball screw. Because only the thrust rod moves, the moved mass is lower than with standard moving-body type actuators. This lower moved mass allows for a smaller motor to drive the system.
The VKK modules are ideal as a Z axis for Cartesian or gantry systems. Cable management is also simplified, and attachments to the thrust rod are accommodated via a standard mounting flange.
Notable Features
- Integrated eLINE Guideway and carriage: supports radial loads
- Standard adapter plate: mount Bosch Rexroth or other vendor's electrical or pneumatic components to the thrust rod
- Easy-2-Combine interface for EasyHandling: easy, precise connection and alignment of multiple axes
Key Benefits
- Low moved mass allows smaller motor to drive the module and higher overall system dynamics
- eLINE carriage and guideway supports radial loads
- Easily mount Bosch Rexroth (or other vendor's) electric or pneumatic components to the thrust rod
- Simple cable management
Possible VKK Applications
- Z axes in Cartesian or gantry applications
- Light-duty handling and pick and place
- Feed applications
Target Markets/Industry Segments
- Packaging
- Small automation
