Linear modular sliding table is the most commonly used standardized module in automation equipment. Due to the wide variety of modular sliding tables, in the selection process, if the selection is not correct, it will bring various problems to the performance of the equipment and the advancement of the project. Therefore, the selection of linear modules is very critical.
The selection of the linear module slide can refer to the following steps:
1. Determine the operating environment of the linear module sliding table: According to the operating environment, determine it as a general environment, a clean environment, or a harsh environment?
2. Determine the installation direction of the linear module sliding table. Make sure that the module sliding table is installed horizontally, wall-mounted or vertical.
3. Determine the load carried by the linear module sliding table.
4. Calculate the speed and acceleration of the sliding table of the linear module.
5. The allowable torque check of the linear module sliding table: calculate the torque values in each direction under the static (constant speed) state and the acceleration and deceleration state: Ma, Mb, Mc.
6. The accuracy level requirements of the linear module sliding table: specify the required repeat positioning accuracy, walking parallelism requirements, etc.
7. Determine the motor installation style: the commonly used linear module sliding table installation methods include direct connection, installation on the left side of the motor, installation on the right side of the motor, installation on the bottom side of the motor, etc.
8. Linear module sliding table stroke limit switch mode.
9. Determine the motor specifications and power of the linear module sliding table.
The performance index of the linear module sliding table can be measured from the following aspects.
The accuracy characteristics of the linear module sliding table: including repeated positioning accuracy, positioning accuracy, walking parallelism, walking straightness, backlash, etc.
The motion characteristics of the linear module sliding table: loadable weight, torque resistance, running speed, acceleration, running noise, etc.
