SCHNEEBERGER Introduces its New SLA Actuator: High-Performance Linear Positioning at an Economical Price

WOBURN, MASS., (June 1, 2021) - SCHNEEBERGER® Inc. today announced the introduction of its new SLA Actuator, delivering high-performance linear positioning at an economical price.

Representing a unique position among high-performance actuators, only the new SLA Actuators deliver SCHNEEBERGER quality, engineering expertise, and global service in a highly customizable super-compact design at an impressively affordable price.

SLA Actuators utilize recirculating ball linear guides that ensure smooth motion and high load capacity. They feature a lightweight precision aluminum base, offer easy assembly, and are stackable without additional brackets.

The SLA Actuator is highly customizable to meet the demands of virtually any precision linear motion control application. The actuator is offered in both a lead screw design as well as a ball screw version for higher speeds and duty cycles. Features include a wide base for maximum stiffness, custom lengths up to an industry-leading 1 meter, an anti-backlash leadscrew nut, and built-in proximity or photoelectric sensors. Additional options include different motor flanges, brake options, a linear encoder option, a cover option for contamination protection, and servo, stepper, and smart motor control options. SLA Actuators are available for clean environment use.

The new SLA Actuator is immediately available. For more information, or to get a copy of the new SLA Actuator product catalog and specification guide, call SCHNEEBERGER at 1-800-854-6333. Or, download the catalog from the web at https://bit.ly/3uERHfw.

Vertical integration of Mineral cast technology, providing superior damping characteristics compared to traditional granite base and gantry structures, has enabled SCHNEEBERGER to produce platforms that meet customer performance specifications that were previously unachievable. www.schneeberger.com

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.
