Z-axis systems
The right drive solution is significant for achieving perfect motion. This is particularly important in high precision, rapidly recurring operations in automation and handling. To do this, you should definitely call in an expert: Schaeffler Industrial Drives. Schaeffler Industrial Drives offers Z-axis systems (short stroke actuators) for fast pick and place applications, optical inspections, testing machines etc. to increase productivity. Of course, these are precisely matched to the productronics sector – including control and measuring system. We offer excellent service as well. Where else would you find everything from a single source?
