Due to path control and the cross guide there is a forced
movement in vertical and horizontal directions (y−z path).
When the HSP is fitted, the following can be set indepen
dently of each other:
of the y−stroke of the pick and place positions
of the z−stroke, e.g. differences in height, between a
rotary indexing table and a transfer system.

Spring clamping elements fitted under the stops press the
swivel lever into the path guide and enable high repetition
accuracy in positioning in the end positions. Braking takes
place in the taught end positions (pick and place positions)
by the motor unit. The rubber buffers in the stops cushion
(exclusively) the impact noise.
If desired, the end positions can be scanned with proximity
switches of type SMT−8−... (evaluation by PLC). The switching
status of the proximity switches can be observed through the
viewing window when the housing cover is fitted on.
The motor unit consists of DC motor, planetary gear, encoder
and integrated control electronics (positioning control and
position encoder). Energy supply and control interfaces are
integrated in the housing of the motor unit. The free−of−play
connection between the motor unit and the drive takes place
via a clamp coupling. As a further variant, a very compact
motor add−on unit can be implemented with a single−stage
right−angle gear unit.
