XTS | The linear transport system
The linear transport system XTS (eXtended Transport System) unites the benefits of rotary and linear systems. XTS is a mechatronic system containing all functions necessary for operation: a modular, fully integrated linear motor with power electronics and position measurement in a single device, a mover as a moved part and a mechanical guide rail. The most diverse applications can be realised with these few coordinated components. The desired geometries, lengths and radii are formed by the number and choice of the components. XTS enables individual product transport with a continuous flow of material. Due to the low construction volume, the energy efficiency can be improved and the size of a machine can be significantly reduced.
