Integrated Rack Simplifies
Machine Design on Waterjet Machine
 Customer's Problem
A manufacturer of
Waterjet cutting machines needed a axis drive solution for a new
traveling gantry machine.
They wanted to reduce the amount of
machining needed for a typical rack & pinion drive, while simplifying
assembly and alignment of the racks to their linear guides.
ATLANTA's Solution
Choosing from their wide
range of standard rack & pinion drives, ATLANTA offered an integrated
rack to mount directly with their linear guide. The rack and guide
assembly was then mounted to their machine frame and fixed in place.
Since the rack and guide were already aligned to each other, the
assembly time needed was reduced.
A split-pinion and servo-worm reducer were used with the integrated rack
to provide a precision axis drive. The manufacturer was able to
achieve very accurate results in their finished parts.
