This KML-linear motor system is in use in the CD-/DVD-Handling of a technology provider for the entertainment and information technology. The requirements specification included the following topics:

• very rigid and compact construction, due to a narrow clearance space
• appreciably enhancement of handling throughput-rate
• high dynamic
• maintenance-free sub-assembly
• clean room suitable version
• Plug and Play solution

Solution

Following constructively measures and elements supported the realization of the requirements:

• integral construction with a monocoque basic frame
• development of a compact dual-slide-concept
• clearance space-optimized limit stopp system
• mass-optimized slide construction
• use of air-cooled linear motors with high power density
• IKO precision guide system with a special lubricant concept
• use of clean room suitable materials resp. coatings
• use of accessory like energy chains and extension cables
