Applications of Linear Motors in Automation

In the automation industry, linear motors are commonly used to move entire systems or equipment, or to control the precise position of components. They can complete high-precision linear movements in a very short time, exhibiting high reliability and stability. They can also be connected to other electrical equipment and sensors to realize complex motion control and monitoring systems.

CSK linear motors with their ultra-high load capacity, ultra-high speed, ultra-high precision, ultra-long stroke, and stable speed, play an irreplaceable role in industries such as automated production lines, automated control systems, and packaging robots.

1. Glass Manufacturing Industry

Linear motors used in glass manufacturing have an ultra-high load capacity of 800KG, a long stroke of 4.5m, a running speed of 0.8m/s, and a repeatability of ±5μm. Whether in glass cutting, grinding, or assembly, linear motor modules provide precise position control and stable movement, ensuring the quality of glass products and production efficiency.

2. Linear Module for Medical Testing Equipment

The linear motors for medical testing equipment have a total length of 16510mm, a width of 325mm with the cable chain, and a height of 153mm with the cable chain. It has a maximum load of 100 N, a maximum speed of 500mm/s, and an acceleration/deceleration time of 0.2s. In medical testing, the high-precision motion control of the linear motor module accurately positions and moves the testing probe, and its stability and reliability ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the test results.

3. Truss-Type Long-Stroke Linear Module

The truss-type long-stroke linear motor module has a stroke of 26m, a maximum speed of 5m/s, and a maximum repeatability of ±0.05mm. The entire truss consists of multiple truss columns with unlimited height and a span of 5 meters. Features such as a convenient adjustable aerial gimbal, distributed independent bus control, and modular assembly enable it to adapt to various complex tasks, such as transfer and handling, positioning, loading and unloading, and automated production line inspection in automated unmanned workshops and clean production lines (Class 100 cleanrooms).

4. High-Speed Material Handling Systems in Automated Production Lines

Linear motors are widely used in:
Automatic material handling (Transfer)
High-speed picking and placement
Logistics sorting
Material conveying in intelligent assembly lines
Compared to traditional cylinders or ball screws, linear motors offer faster response times and longer lifespans, which helps improve cycle time.

Summary

Linear motors, with their unique advantages of high speed, high precision, long lifespan, and simple structure, are playing an increasingly important role in the field of automation. From robotics and semiconductors to packaging and medical equipment, linear motors are driving the manufacturing industry towards greater efficiency, intelligence, and stability.
