Danaher's IDC Introduces New Compact Single-Axis Ball Screw Positioning Table
The URS Rail System is a compact single-axis positioning table which integrates a linear bearing and precision ballscrew. The URS series offers compact dimensions and outperforms conventional positioning tables. This is made possible by a unique “U” shaped guide rail, and a recirculating bearing module which provides the dual functions of a guide block and a ball screw nut. The “U” shaped guide rail design offers a highly rigid structure resistant to bending, allowing the URS to be single-end supported. Additionally, the bearing module contains four ball circuits which deliver high load capacity, high accuracy and high rigidity.

Packaged Solution:
The integration of the slide guide and precision ballscrew eliminates complex precision adjustment and reduces installation time dramatically as compared to purchasing and assembling individual components.
High Rigidity:
“U” shaped steel guide rail provides very high rigidity despite its compact profile, and excels in one-end supported (cantilevered slide) applications.
High Accuracy:
The URS shuttle carriage contains four ball circuits and four-point contact ball grooves, which contributes to its high rigidity. The combination of precision ground guide rail, carriage, and precision grade ball screw provides high positioning accuracy.
Space Saving:
In comparison to conventional positioning tables, the compact design of the URS allows for dramatic space savings. The “U” shaped guide rail and integrated carriage/ballnut design make this possible.

Electric Cylinders

The EC3 series is a robust linear motion package for moderate to heavy thrust loads ranging up to 7200 N [1620 lb] and travel up to 800 mm [31.5 in]. EC3 Series electric cylinders are available with brushless servo, step motors, or DC servo for compatibility with every motion control environment.

Rodless Actuators

IDC offers three sizes of rodless actuators, each with four types of motors.  A robust design using an internal linear motion guide rail and our built-in flexible seal ensures reliable operation in an industrial environment.

Cartesian Systems

IDC offers complete Cartesian Actuator Systems system, including motors and controls, a driveshaft, interface brackets, and cable track kits. Factory-based engineering services include component selection assistance, CAD drawings of your system, and your choice: items shipped assembled or as components.

Positioning Tables

Precision Positioning Tables are best suited for applications where the accuracy and repeatability requirements are more important than axial thrust of the drive train. Precision Positioning Tables can also be used in less precise applications where adequate moment load support is necessary. Precision Positioning Tables< are ideal building blocks for complete multi-axis positioning systems.

DC Motor Controls

IDC solves simple positioning applications with our Limit Switch, Analog Position and Edge Guide Controls. These controls give the user the benefits of using electromechanical motion control: precise positioning, velocity control and flexibility, while foregoing the increased cost and complexity of programmable controllers.

Step Motor Systems

For high performance microstepping drives, consider IDC's Impulse and NextStep. These drives use innovative technology to achieve clearly superior step motor performance, and improve machine throughput.

Servo Systems

If your application requires high performance brushless servo drives, consider IDC’s B8001. These DSP-based, high bandwidth servos use an innovative vector control motor commutation scheme that delivers exceptional shaft power and performance.

Gearheads

IDC produces a large range of in-line and right-angle precision planetary gearheads. IDC Gearheads use 1, 2 or 3 stages of planetary gear clusters in a rugged housing. IDC offers NEMA flange sizes 17, 23, 34, 42 and 56. They provide exceptional positioning performance and reliability in automated industrial, scientific and commercial applications.
