Linear transfer system
LS HYBRID

When process steps with different requirements for speed and cycle time are in the same sequence, the LS Hybrid is the right automation solution. Here, users can implement different processing, assembly and production tasks on one platform in a fully automated process.

Feature

WORKPIECE CARRIER
LS Hybrid

Designed for high process forces that arise during pressing in, pad printing or setting screw connections, the workpiece carriers enable highly dynamic, smooth workpiece transport and reliable positioning.

  • Payload up to 10 kg (weight of workpiece + its holders)
  • Absolute locking without indexing
  • Process forces up to 1000 N without support
  • Standard – carrier plates of 200 x 160 mm to a max. of 250 x 235 mm, optionally with customer's hole pattern
  • Optionally with RFID transponder

Feature

eCam ModulE
LS Hybrid

The eCam drive combines the advantages of the cam drive with the motion profile of the servo motor. Consequently, very precise positioning is achieved in the shorter locking phases without additional indexing and a high level of dynamics.

  • Positioning accuracy of ± 0.03 mm in x-, y- and z-directions
  • Strokes: 64, 128, 256, 384, 512 mm
  • Short transport times
  • Up to nine eCAMs can be connected in series in one drive module

Feature

Linear motor module
LS Hybrid

The movement of each workpiece carrier can be independently and freely programmed with the linear motor module. For certain types of processing, the linear motor module replaces an additional process axis.

  • Freely programmable position, acceleration, speed and movement direction
  • Positioning accuracy ± 0.02 mm (x-direction)
    ± 0.03 mm (y- and z-directions)
  • Short transport times
  • Forward and reverse movements are possible

Feature

Belt module
LS Hybrid

The belt module easily and efficiently controls the transport of workpiece carriers between the process stations.

  • Single-belt (1 x 1150 mm) or double-belt module (2 x 575 mm) available
  • Positioning accuracy of ± 0.15 mm in the x-direction and ± 0.03 mm in the y- and z-directions
  • Stop position in the center of the belt is possible

Feature

Redirection module
LS Hybrid

There is little space in assembly plants, and production space is expensive. The redirection module makes it possible, for example, to load and unload material at a corner unit.

  • Consists of 3 belts, redirection belt and infeed belt and outfeed belt
  • Smoothly moves into/out of the straight transport modules
  • 1 stop position at 90° is possible, positioning accuracy of ± 0.15 mm in the x-direction and ± 0.03 mm in the y- and z-directions

Feature

Base frame
LS Hybrid

The LS Hybrid's base frame is a rugged welded steel structure. Additional handling components such as the HP Pick & Place Modules can be mounted on it.

  • Stable design
  • Handling components can be integrated without a substructure
  • High-quality control cabinets are available
  • Standard – mounting plates of 1150 x 294 x 20 or 1150 x 590 x 20 mm, optionally with customer's hole pattern

CONFIGURATIONS
LS HYBRID

The assembly process differs depending on the final product. WEISS designs and builds your LS Hybrid in accordance with your requirements, drawing from the following combination options.

Precise positioning

LS Hybrid with 2 eCam modules on each side. For application
requirements with uniform clocking accompanied by maximum precision
and dynamics.

Fast reverse travel

LS Hybrid with 8 eCam modules on one side for application
requirements with uniform clocking accompanied by maximum precision
and dynamics. 8 belt modules on the opposite side enable fast reverse
travel.

Maximum flexibility and dynamics

LS Hybrid with 3 linear motor modules on each side, for freely definable
positioning and process patterns as well as motion profiles with high
accuracy requirements and cycle rates.

Rotary indexing tables without interlinking

LS Hybrid with 2 eCam modules on each side, each decoupled by 1
double-belt module for transport between the process stations.
Combination of securely locked process positions using different strokes
with maximum precision in each position.
