Multiple motions

Linear axes and axis systems are used in many industrial areas, e.g. to transport or position components. HIWIN offers linear axes with toothed belt drive for applications requiring high dynamic responses and speeds. The HIWIN modular system is a flexible solution for combining belt axes into twin and multi-axis systems, depending on the application. HIWIN linear axes with ballscrew drive are available for applications requiring high feed forces and precision. HIWIN linear axes with linear motor drive fulfil the highest demands on dynamics, accuracy and synchronism.

Precision axes and precision systems meet the highest requirements for straightness, flatness and precision. The systems with high-resolution distance measuring systems are available in different series as HIWIN standard with a wide range of options. Customer-specific adaptations beyond the standard features are also possible.

HIWIN direct drive rotary tables are ready-to-install rotary axes that can be incorporated directly into the machine concept without the need for any design work. The maintenance-free direct drives they use ensure that the rotary axes deliver high-torque performance with exceptional accuracy. Thanks to the range of encoder interfaces provided, the direct drive rotary tables can be integrated easily into all commercially available machine control systems and thus all existing machine concepts.

The Wafer Aligner HPA reliably aligns transparent, translucent and opaque wafers. Whether the standard, warpage or edge contact process is used, the new models align wafers with a diameter of 2 inches up to 12 inches in just a few seconds. Three moving HIWIN axes with spindle drive are used here for wafer centring and angular alignment. Depending on the aligner model, an X-Y unit or an X-Z unit is used. Due to its compact design, the HPA series is also ideal for integration into demanding system concepts. Ideal for applications in the semiconductor industry, the Wafer Aligner of the HPA series is suitable for clean room class ISO 3.
