1. HAVE A NICE DAY !!! Intro to LinMot

2. Intro to LinMot A Presentation by LinMot, Inc.

3. Some LinMot Basics • LinMot based near Zurich, Switzerland. • LinMot’s parent company is NTI AG. • LinMot was started in 1993 to bring their Linear Motor Technology to the global marketplace. • Here in the US, LinMot’s North American Office is located in Elkhorn, WI. • Most products are stocked in Elkhorn, WI with extensive stock in Switzerland. • Because we use FedEx exclusively, we can get product from Switzerland to the customer in 72 hours or less - better than a lot of domestic companies! Intro to LinMot

4. LinMot Products Linear Motors, Mounting Flanges, Guided Actuators, Servo Controllers, Power Supplies and Cables Intro to LinMot

5. Linear Motors Intro to LinMot

6. What Makes ‘Em Great! • Strokes up to 60” (5 feet) ± 0.002” repeatability • Forces up to 200 pounds peak • Speeds up to 120 inches per second • Accelerations up to 40 g’s • Lifetime of up to 2 BILLION CYCLES • Rugged construction (wash down) • Temperature range of 140°F to -40°F (60°C to -40°C). Great for freezers where pneumatics freeze up! Intro to LinMot

7. Even Hollow Sliders Intro to LinMot

8. Strokes Up To 5 feet • On the short end, we have customers using these with a stroke of 0.040” (1mm). They happen to be moving at 120 Hz! • If it’s a short horizontal move, the slider will support itself and a light load. • For longer moves, or where there’s a substantial mass that needs to be supported, we have guided actuators. • If it’s a long horizontal move, the load needs to be supported. Intro to LinMot

9. These Are Guided Actuators • Strokes to 16” (420mm) • Forces to 131 pounds • Oil-Lite Bushings or Recirculating Ball Bearings • Use bushings for wet/dirty environment or fast accel. • Use ball bearings for longer life in clean environments. Intro to LinMot

10. These are B-Guides • Oil-Lite Bushings or Recirculating Ball Bearings. • These require “High Clearance” sliders. Intro to LinMot

11. These are G-Guides • Strokes up to 5½ feet. • Recirculating Ball Bearings only. Intro to LinMot

12. G-Guide Application • Comes as a “kit” – some assembly required. • Customer provides cable track. Intro to LinMot

13. Long Moves or Heavy Loads • The load (and the slider) need to be supported. Intro to LinMot

14. You Don’t Have To Move the Slider • Some examples of “Moving Stator” configurations. • LinMot provides kits for mounting the slider properly. Intro to LinMot

15. Where Are LinMot Motors Used? • Packaging • Material Handling • Medical • Other • Let’s look in detail. Intro to LinMot

16. Packaging • Label application • Stamping • Dispensing • Especially if wash down is required • Winding • Carton assembly • Product insertion • Gluing Intro to LinMot

17. Material Handling • Pick and place • Reject product bumpoff • Cutting • Stacking • Product compression • Machine vision inspection • Sorting Intro to LinMot

18. Medical • Liquid dispensing • Sample handling Intro to LinMot

19. Other • Product testing • It’s sometimes hard to find components that last as long as what’s being tested. LinMot does! Intro to LinMot

20. Some Not-So-Good Applications • Metal Machining • Ferrous metal chips stick to the magnetic slider • High temperature (above 140°F/60°C) • Where there’s sticky stuff • Especially if it only gets sticky when the motor is off, like when it dries or cools (chocolate is a good example) Intro to LinMot

21. That’s It!! • Any other questions? • If you haven’t seen it already, let’s watch a movie! The End (of this one, anyway) Intro to LinMot
