Sliding gantry craneELEKTRO SHAK GANTRY series

The gantry consists of two parallel belt-driven axes, of which one acts as drive axis (drive X-axis) and the other as driven axis (geared X-axis). Both axes are connected one to the other by means of an anodized aluminium shaft and two flexible couplings that compensate for any minor misalignments between the axes caused by the support base. The shape of both coupling and drive shaft is designed to facilitate disassembly. The carriages of the drive axis and the driven axis (both with a V-Lock interface featuring a typical shape and grooves) move synchronously thanks to the drive shaft. On the extruded body of both axes, on the side opposite to the carriages, the typical (no grooves) V-Lock dovetail is provided for easy fixing to the support to the support structure using QS elements. On the carriages of the X-axes another SHAK electric axis (Y-axis) is mounted transversally. The motion is the same as for the single axis and has the same advantages: rigid structure, movement of the carriage with adjustable clearance, the presence of guide lubrication nozzles, the possibility of adjusting belt tensioning. A BRUSHLESS motor with a 1:5 speed gearbox has been adopted as it ensures optimal load capacity without sacrificing the dynamic and speed performance typical of this product. In addition to the standard drives proposed in the catalogue, the cylinder can be customised with the installation of other motors. The homing position is identified by an inductive proximity sensor included in the supply. Two sizes are available, SHAK-GANTRY 340 and SHAK-GANTRY 470, with standard pre-set strokes.
