The H-shaped slider system allows a central sliding block (3) to move through the 'swept area' described by the length of the primary (7) and secondary (4) slider beams. The central sliding block (3) can be modified to carry vacuum, pneumatic, mechanical or electrical gripping or holding devices for pick and place robotics. The central sliding block (3) could also be fitted with a carrier plate on which items may be placed and transported through the 'swept area' described by the lengths of the primary (7) and secondary (4) slider beams. The motors (10&11) are mounted in fixed positions relative to the slider beams (7&4) and a single toothed belt (1) is used to move the central sliding block (3). There is no requirement for flexible cableways or umbilical cable lines to drive the central sliding block (3) through the 'swept area' described by the length of the primary (7) and secondary (4) slider beams. |
