Multi-direction drives for automated warehouses

Igus combines drylin SLW linear technology with opposed rotating leadscrews to provide flexible and precise drive systems for automated warehouses, as shown in this video.

Designed with right-hand and left-hand threads, with the exception of a few millimetres in the centre of the leadscrew, the entire length can be used for the stroke. This innovative leadscrew design also helps reduce costs where a second leadscrew is not required. The shuttle system can thus be used both for one- and two-sided parcel retrieving, and provides extra flexibility to handle boxes of various sizes.

Matching lubricant-free nuts with right-hand and left-hand threads are also available.
