The drylin ZLW linear robot system is explained in more detail by Igus. This modular drive system enables engineers to design and configure their own ready- to-install linear robots with maximum flexibility. With the drylin ZLW system, machine builders can address various design challenges and working environments in a diverse range of applications, rapidly and at lower cost than custom build solutions.
Ideal for quick positioning, drylin ZLW is comprised of a carriage-mounted linear guide, driven by a powerful, wide polyurethane or neoprene toothed belt. The use of Iglidur polymer plain bearings on all moving parts makes the toothed belt axis self-lubricating and maintenance
free. The lack of lubricant also makes the linear robot insensitive to dirt, as particles will not stick to moving parts. Consequently, the axis delivers a high degree of ruggedness across many applications.
