8.4 2-axis handling module with stepper motor

The 2-axis handling module with stepper motor can be used to handle various workpieces and boxes.
Travel in the X direction is implemented by means of an electromechanical drive which is powered by a
stepper motor. The stepper motor is controlled by a motor controller. Axis positioning is highly precise.
Motion in the Z direction is implemented by means of a pneumatic drive with guide. This drive can travel to
three positions, namely the top and bottom positions, as well as a mid-position. In the mid-position, the
packed boxes can be grasped by the gripper. The mid-position is determined by a pneumatically actuated
stop.
The workpieces and the boxes are handled by a pneumatic parallel gripper.
