The linear conveyor module is a new generation of handling system that replaces free flowing conveyors and belt conveyors - the linear conveyor module. It can flexibly and freely construct manufacturing production lines, especially suitable for the production of multiple varieties and small batches.
Product Details
Introduction to Linear Transmission Module LCM100
The new generation conveyor LCM100, which can replace belt conveyors and roller conveyors
LCM100 is a new generation conveyor developed as an alternative to belt conveyors and roller conveyors, which can be used for product handling in factories. It combines a linear motor, slider, and controller into one module to load the workpiece onto the slider for handling. Previous conveyors mainly used a fixed speed and the same direction to make the workpiece 'flow', while the 'LCM100' can use a controller to quickly and accurately control the speed, stop position, and other actions of the slider. That is to say, while changing the speed and direction of the slider containing the workpiece, it can also achieve 'free movement'. LCM100 can achieve advanced handling processes that traditional conveyors cannot accomplish.
feature
01The length of the handling line can be freely adjusted by adding or subtracting modules.
By adding or deleting modules, it is possible to flexibly respond to changes in the handling line
Once the traditional conveyor is built and the transport line is completed, subsequent changes will be quite time-consuming. On the contrary, LCM100 adopts a modular structure, and the length adjustment of the handling line can be flexibly addressed by adding or removing modules. In addition, this product can not only perform reciprocating motion in a straight line direction, but also circulate horizontally and vertically through the return unit, making it suitable for use as a conveyor system.
Can freely connect modules
Through a modular connection structure, modules can be freely replaced, added, and deleted, allowing for flexible changes to the layout of the handling process. In addition, the slider can be freely inserted into or removed from the conveyor line. 4M and 3M specifications can be freely combined into the handling line.※

There are areas at both ends of the module and the production line that cannot be stopped. Please refer to the outline drawing.
If necessary, a handling line can be constructed by connecting only the required modules. Of course, rapid start-up can also be achieved when constructing or changing the handling line. In addition, when shortening the handling line, excess modules can be transferred to other handling lines or stored as maintenance parts.
Layout example of combining modules and loop mechanisms

The return unit and loop mechanism need to be made by the customer themselves.

A series of modular products that are easy to cycle.
02It can be freely set through the acceleration, deceleration, forward and backward movements of the slider. Significantly expanded the degrees of freedom in constructing transport lines.

The above picture is a schematic created using CG (computer graphics), so it differs from the actual product.
By adopting servo control, high-speed movement and smooth deceleration stop can be achieved, and collision of limiters can be prevented
Due to the use of servo control, a smooth deceleration stop can be achieved. Due to the absence of workpiece misalignment or damage caused by collisions with limiters, high-speed movement is possible.
Flexible movement of sliders and construction of highly flexible handling lines
After building a conveyor line, traditional transmission mechanisms can only move in the same direction. Even if the interval distance is long, it cannot increase the speed and can only be transported at a fixed speed. On the contrary, LCM100 can freely move forward/backward, accelerate/decelerate. It can accurately stop, change speed, or only make a part of the slider move backwards at necessary positions. Due to the ability to achieve the above flexible actions, it can surpass the previous design framework of conveyor lines and achieve designs with higher degrees of freedom.
Due to the ability to change the direction of movement, it is possible to achieve generalization of the same process. It can reduce costs and achieve miniaturization of the device.
Simultaneously reducing movement time through short spacing and long distance
Multiple workpieces can be placed on one slider, and efficient movement can be achieved between processes with different production distances through short distance movement and long-distance movement.
※
The closest distance between sliders is limited. Please refer to the outline drawing.
For processes with shorter processing times, they can be advanced within the same process, while for processes with longer processing times, three workpieces can be simultaneously transported at high speed to reduce movement time.
03It can be freely set through the acceleration, deceleration, forward and backward movements of the slider. Significantly expanded the degrees of freedom in constructing transport lines.
We often assume that the handling process does not generate additional value compared to the manufacturing and processing processes. However, LCM100 can achieve handling lines that traditional conveyors cannot complete and expand the application scope of processes.
04By adopting a direct handling process, the efficiency of the entire process can be improved
By directly driving the slider itself, LCM100 can achieve a maximum speed of 3m/sec. Due to the ability to perform tasks directly on the slider, it can save extra time and reduce machinery and space.
Due to its excellent rigidity, it can be operated on the slider. This helps to shorten the production lead time.
When using traditional methods, due to the insufficient rigidity of the conveyor itself, it is necessary to set up additional functions such as conveyor support or temporarily introduce workpieces for operation.
LCM100 has high rigidity and can be operated on a slider. Therefore, there is no need to spend time introducing it, which helps to shorten the production lead time. In this way, real-time production can be achieved, and semi-finished products can be reduced, while also helping to save device space.
Even for small batches, multiple varieties, and situations that require frequent process switching, flexible responses can be made through simple operations
Traditional conveyors use the method of controlling the flow of objects and must be connected to devices such as limiters for stopping workpieces and sensors for detecting and notifying the arrival of workpieces in order to perform control settings. Therefore, when changing the handling line, it is necessary to change the position of the limiter and the sensor settings, which must be addressed through both hardware and software, which is very troublesome. The LCM100 using servo control does not require limiters, sensors, etc., and the setting of the stop position only requires rewriting the program. In terms of application, its advantage is that it can flexibly cope with small batches, multiple varieties, and production that requires frequent changes to the handling line.
Simply specify the stop position through numerical values. Can achieve narrow spacing transportation. In addition, by removing the limiter, a repeated stopping accuracy of 100 µ m (including errors between sliders) can be achieved.
