Precision

Precise movements: over and over again

ULTRA.POS stands for outstanding precision, load capacity, efficiency and smooth running. Our positioning systems offer an excellent precision/price ratio and a significant increase in quality compared to conventional linear axes. They can be integrated easily, safely and efficiently. ULTRA.POS includes robust single-axis and multi-axis systems, such as cross tables, which are available in both manual/hand-operated and motorised versions. Our proven product standard saves you time and money, while you benefit from customisable solutions.

    Function

    Features of positioning systems

    Positioning systems are used to precisely position an object. These systems enable movement along one or more axes, typically along the X, Y and Z axes, and are used in various areas of automation. The quality and performance of a positioning system are primarily judged by its positioning accuracy. This accuracy mainly depends on three factors:

    • Base: This includes material, structure and surface finish.
    • Type of guide: Precision rails, shaft guides or rollers.
    • Drive: Aspects such as zero backlash, smooth running and lubrication play a key role.

    For most industrial positioning tasks, a solution with an aluminium base plate, recirculating ball bearing guides and a ball screw drive is ideal. For lower positioning accuracy requirements, more cost-effective drive types such as trapezoidal screws or shaft guides such as ball bushings can be used. For very high positioning accuracy requirements, higher quality drives and guides are essential. Our promise to you is: We offer the optimum combination of base body, guide and drive for your individual application. Benefit from our many years of experience in the field of linear technology to optimise your application.

    FAQ

    Interesting facts about positioning systems

    What is the difference between a positioning unit and a linear axis?

    Linear axes are generally axes whose basic body is a continuous cast profile. Although they appear similar at first glance, they differ significantly in terms of precision and load values. Positioning units far exceed the performance characteristics of linear axes at comparable costs.

    Can positioning systems be supplied manually or with a motor?

    Positioning systems can be supplied with both. We supply the manual/ hand-operated version with a handwheel. For positioning systems with a motor, we either supply a suitable interface (coupling, flange, etc.) or integrate an electric motor/servo drive of your choice.

    What are typical applications for positioning units?

    Positioning units are used for all tasks in the automation industry. Every positioning process as part of a pick-and-place application, dispensing, etc. requires a guide and drive. Positioning systems are the ideal complement to simple drives in order to integrate these efficiently and smoothly.
