ATH9xxx | XTS guide rails and movers

The NCT electronics form the basis for an application-specific adaptation of the NCT technology in third-party applications. In combination with a housing unit, an XTS mover and the AT2100 or AT2102 motor modules, a regulated 24 V DC power supply and synchronous real-time data communication are available on the movers. The basic electronics used already offer a wide range of options for integrating sensors and actuators – digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs and PWM outputs. The basic functionalities can be complemented with application-dependent electronics. All functions can be controlled centrally via TwinCAT, ensuring high usability with short training times.

Movers with the product designation AT9011 are elements of the XTS guide rail system from Beckhoff. The mover set-up consists of an aluminum base body, plastic rollers and a magnetic plate set. The movers are available with both Mover Standard and Mover 1 magnetic plate sets. In comparison to mover types with the product designation AT9014, this mover is notable for its increased rigidity and is suitable for payloads of up to 1.3В kg. Thanks to a selection of different guide rail designs, the mover is suitable for individual travel paths. The low overall weight of the mover also allows for particularly dynamic travel movements.

The curved guide rails with the product designation AT9020 are elements of the XTS guide rail system from Beckhoff. They are made of aluminum with an abrasion-resistant hard anodized aluminum coating and enable a lubrication-free system concept in combination with the plastic rollers of the movers. The AT9020 curved guide rails enable track layouts on the basis of the AT202x motor modules (22.5В° curve segments of a circle with a diameter of 1273В mm), in combination with an AT2000 straight motor module. In addition, the guide rails can be ideally combined with other straight or curved guide rails, so that individual travel paths can be realized as if from a modular system.

The guide rails of the XTS Hygienic are entirely made of stainless steel. The interface between individuals rails has been revised for simple sealing. A lock allows fast exchange of the movers for cleaning and maintenance purposes. The curved rail is optimally matched to the XTS Hygienic mover. Small manufacturing tolerances and additional fits at the connection points to the motor modules allow both simple and precise mounting on the motor modules, ensuring a seal free of gaps and dead spaces at such junctions, too. The ATH9200 guide rails are designed in such a way that several straight guide rails can be combined.
