Factory automation
Stable and sealed lifting solution for AMRs
The AXDL system provides integrated lifting and stabilisation for AMRs in automated environments.
• High rigidity: acts as a stiffener—more stable than separate ball screw and guide rail
• Easy to integrate: mounts directly to AMR sheet metal, with low surface quality requirements
• Sealed design: keeps contaminants out, extends service life
• Maintenance-friendly: belt replacement and tensioning tools included
• Branding options: custom logo possible on components
Automatic screwdriver
Compact performance for enclosed work cells
AXC axes ensure efficient motion in tight, automated screwdriving environments.
• Space-saving: Small footprint outside the work area
• Cost-efficient control: 2-axis system manages positioning
• Low TCO: Durable, with minimal downtime
• Easy maintenance: Quick component replacement
• Safety features included: Locking and stop mechanisms ensure safe servicing
