The structure of the gantries makes them very torsionally rigid. Precise mechanical movements
of the axes are produced by axis recirculating ball screw units.
High-precision positioning systems determine the positions of the x and y axes. To do this, the
graduations on metal scales are optoelectronically scanned and the track signals are sent to the
axis control in the control unit.
Direct drive units are used to position the placement heads in the x and y directions. This elimi-
nates friction losses, for example, which are typical when complex gearing is used. In addition,
there is none of the wear that can significantly affect the accuracy of positioning systems over the
course of time.

A toothed belt is used to convert the rotary movement of the turning motor for the X-axis directly
into a translatory movement of the placement head in the x direction.

The air filter box for the X-motors, consisting of one filter and two highperformance fans, is
mounted directly above the cooling air inlet of the linear motor.
– Sleeve contamination is reduce by 20%
– Contamination of valve tappets is reduce by 40%
– The frequency of maintenance require is reduce by 30%

The gantry is fixed to the two shuttles (see item 1 in Fig. 7.2 - 3) of the recirculating ball screw unit
(see item 2 in Fig. 7.2 - 3
) using four M6 x10 hexagon socket-head screws.
The secondary part (see item 3 in Fig. 7.2 - 3
) of the Y-axis linear drive, with its permanent mag-
nets, is located above the guide rail of the recirculating ball screw unit. The secondary part is
mounted on the machine frame.
The air and power supply and signal lines for the gantry and collect&place head all run in a trailing
cable (see item 1 in Fig. 7.2 - 4
).
The seven power cables take the form of flexible ribbon cables, four of which are needed for the
collect&place head. They run beneath the cover in the machine frame (see item 1 in Fig. 7.2 - 5
),
between the head board on the head mount and the gantry board.
