FAQs
For installation, ensure proper rail alignment and a rigid mounting surface to minimize deflection. Use the provided mounting holes and compatible brackets to secure the axis, confirm conveyor or fixture compatibility with the L Series footprint, and verify cable routing to prevent interference with moving parts. Adequate clearance for full traverse is essential to avoid binding and ensure repeatable positioning.
Key specifications include a rail-guided guiding system, LSZ range, and the L Series family. The axis uses a tooth belt drive for smooth motion, offering compact form factor and lightweight design. This combination supports precise positioning, reduced inertia, and easy integration with IMI Bahr components and standard machine control architectures.
Yes, the LSZ L Series is engineered for efficient feed-through and fast positioning with low inertia due to its belt-driven design. Its rail guidance minimizes backlash, delivering repeatable cycles essential for packaging lines. When speed is critical, pairing LSZ with a compatible servo drive and proper acceleration profiles yields reliable high-speed performance without sacrificing accuracy.
The LSZ is designed to support CE compliance for European markets and can be integrated with SIL-ready controls. IP-rated configurations are available in select setups, depending on enclosure and accessory choices. Always consult the datasheet to confirm the exact IP rating for your configured variant and ensure your installation meets applicable safety standards.
Upgrading to LSZ can reduce installation time through configurable mounting and fewer custom brackets, lowering labor costs. The belt drive and rail guidance reduce wear and maintenance, improving uptime and throughput. For retrofits, its compact footprint enables upgrades in tight spaces, delivering faster cycle times and longer system life without large-scale machine redesigns.
