XYZ Combination Belt and Lead Screw Drive Actuator Introduction Specifically deisgned for medical diagnostic and life science applications, we have developed a series of XYZ compact actuator systems.

These very compact sub assemblies allow customers to keep their point of care diagnostic systems small which is very important since a doctor s office lab space is limited. U.S. physicians see 2.

New point of care diagnostic systems eliminate the typical outsourcing and long wait (e.g., three to five days) for the results.

2 XYZ Combination Belt and Lead Screw Drive Actuator Introduction Specifically deisgned for medical diagnostic and life science applications, we have developed a series of XYZ compact actuator systems. The belt driven X and Y axis allows for fast movement to position while the lead screw driven Z axis allows for careful placement of a payload. These very compact sub assemblies allow customers to keep their point of care diagnostic systems small which is very important since a doctor s office lab space is limited. U.S. physicians see 2.5 million patients per day. In 60 to 70 percent of those visits, the physician needs to order diagnostics test to guide treatment or to monitor their patient. New point of care diagnostic systems eliminate the typical outsourcing and long wait (e.g., three to five days) for the results. Flexibility The belt driven X and Y axis are easily adjusted for different travel requirements. High performance zero backlash synchro-belt New Arched Tooth Profile technology allows for high positioning accuracy, quiet running, and low particle generation. These are optimal for small precision instruments and lab automation systems. High Quality Components Our actuators are built from high quality components to provide high reliability and long life. To help maintain low cost structures, these component selections take advantage of the The Precision Alliance members. To right is an example of a miniature linear guide rail with blocks provided by our partner, Chieftek Precision Company, that we use to form each axis of the actuator. In additon our in house machining provides us with a method to develop samples and prototypes quickly. 2

Optical Slot Type Adjustable Flags Transistor outputs Two sensors on each axis Z-Axis (Up & Down Movement) High resolution leadscrew or ballscrew drive provides excellent mechanical advantage to allow for higher forces where increased accelleration and lifting capability are important. Some important features are noted below. Integrated screw with motor minimizes overall height Up to 10 kg payload lifting capacities Up to 30mm travel Step Motors Inexpensive standard frame size stepper motors provide excellent low speed torque. 2 Phase, bipolar type Various winding options availble Optional rotary encoders Guideways Precision miniature linear recirculating guides with blocks provide the basis for the structure. Excellent straightness and flatness of travel High stiffness with low frictional resistance Belt Driven X & Y Axis High performance 2mm pitch synchro-belt with special tooth profile quietly moves the payload along the X & Y Axis.
