GÃ¼del, Inc. Offers New White Paper that Compares Cam Followers and Profile Guides

Video and white paper examine function, installation and maintenance of anti-friction bearing systems for robot tracks.

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. A new GÃ¼del white paper, "The CamFollower Advantage," examines different types of bearing technologies used in linear motion systems for robots and automation. It is important to know which anti-friction bearing systems provide the best protection and ease of repair in different environments and circumstances. A GÃ¼del YouTube video covers all the concepts addressed in the white paper.

"GÃ¼del has built gantry robots and robot track modules for foundry, welding, painting and almost every type of environment. Each component in a GÃ¼del module is part of a fully, vertically integrated system. This dedication to linear motion technology is one reason why GÃ¼dels third generation of TrackMotion and gantry robot products are more rugged and easier to maintain," said Joe Campbell, Vice President, Sales and Marketing.

GÃ¼dels white paper covers the basics on different types of bearing technologies, including:

* Different load, speed and precision capabilities
* Physical and environmental considerations
* How to save time in maintenance and repair

Placing robots and automation on linear motion technology frees them to operate in a larger work envelope, increases process flexibility and saves money. For full value, it is important to understand the operating function, installation, maintenance and life cycle costs.

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
