The linear motor complete axes LTS/LTSE are used whenever alternative options such as toothed belts and screws are too inaccurate, too slow or too inflexible in order to raise the throughput, the cycle time, the accuracy or the product variance of a machine or a testing facility. The low-wear design (minimum quantity lubrication required only on guides following assembly) also reduces maintenance requirements.

Typical applications for the LTS/LTSE are, for example:

• Workpiece transfer within assembly processes
• Laser machining – to achieve linear accuracies within a range of a few ?m
• Measuring instruments – positioning/traversal of sensors, vision systems, probes
• Medical engineering – reliable, low-noise positioning in confined installation spaces
• Clamping systems (holding a part between two jaws (primary parts)
• Pick and place applications in (or at beginning or end of) production lines
