LC40B-KM01 Series
Belt-driven T-slot linear guides with built-in controller stepper motors
XYZ Scanning System
This customized long travel XYZ scanning system for digitizing art demonstrates the versatility of the LC40B series linear stages. A driven axis and a passive guide combine to make the long horizontal gantry axis, while two motorized axes drive the vertical axis in lockstep. Additional carriages are included on each axis to help stabilize and balance the load. The vertical load is also balanced with a counter weight mounted to two passive LC40G rails on the back half of the tower, which means that even when the motors are unpowered the vertical load is supported. The T-slot extrusion of the LC40 stages allowed easy incorporation of additional components, including brackets, cable tracks, and locking caster wheels. An X-LRQ-EC stage adds in a high resolution focus axis.
