Bimba, a supplier of pneumatic, hydraulic and electric motion solutions, which is headquartered in Illinois, has introduced IntelliAxis multi-axis electric linear robot actuators for either X-Z or X-Y motion applications.
IntelliAxis is configured for pick and place, sorting, loading, assembly and other material handling tasks in industries such as packaging, food and beverage and automotive. It is intended for medium and heavy-duty two-axis industrial applications that require flexible motion within a two-dimensional plane.
The unit features a single continuous belt that serpentines around the two axes, aiming to eliminate the need for a motor in the Z- or Y-axis while driving a pair of coordinated motors in the X-axis.
