One-to-one ( Two-axis Truss Manipulator) With Array Tray

Product Overview

Unlike multi-purpose robots, its one-to-one design ensures focused support for high-precision, small-to-medium batch production, reducing cycle times by up to 40% compared to manual handling. The integrated array tray (with adjustable partitions) organizes workpieces to prevent damage, while the manipulator’s compact structure saves 30% of floor space—ideal for factories with limited layout flexibility. It is a cost-effective upgrade for manufacturers seeking to improve productivity, reduce labor dependency, and maintain consistent handling quality.

Product Features

High-Precision Two-axis Movement

The manipulator’s X/Y axis configuration delivers repetitive positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm—critical for tight-tolerance applications (e.g., medical parts, automotive precision components). It uses 1.5 kW high-torque servo motors and preloaded ball screws to minimize backlash, ensuring smooth operation even during 24/7 continuous use. Maximum travel distances are 1500mm (X-axis) and 800mm (Y-axis), covering most standard CNC workspace dimensions.

Optimized Array Tray Storage

The modular array tray supports 20-50 workpieces (depending on size: φ5mm - φ100mm) with adjustable partitions for quick size changes. Anti-slip pads and position sensors prevent workpiece shifting and ensure accurate gripper alignment, while LED status indicators signal when the tray needs refilling—reducing downtime from material shortages. The tray is easily removable for cleaning and maintenance, with no tools required.

Fast Loading/Unloading Cycle Time

Designed for speed, the manipulator achieves a cycle time of ≤8 seconds (loading + unloading)—far faster than manual handling (20-30 seconds per piece). Its pneumatic gripper has adjustable clamping force (50-500 N) to handle materials like aluminum, steel, and plastic without deformation. A quick-change gripper design allows switching between finger grippers/suction cups in <5 minutes for versatile workpiece types.

Plug-and-Play CNC Integration

Pre-configured for Xindai’s CNC lineup (mini row tool lathes, servo turret lathes, machining centers), the manipulator connects via standard interfaces (Fanuc FOCAS, Siemens Sinumerik) and requires no custom programming for basic use—operators can set up the system via HMI in 30 minutes or less. For third-party CNC machines, Xindai provides an SDK (Software Development Kit) to enable seamless integration.

Applications

This manipulator excels in industries requiring precise, repetitive handling:

Precision Shaft Production: Works with dual-spindle CNC lathes to load/unload metal shafts (motor shafts, gear shafts) of 5mm-50mm diameter, ensuring consistent positioning for turning/milling.

Automotive Fastener Manufacturing: Supports high-volume production of bolts/nuts using tapping centers, with the array tray storing 50 pieces per cycle and maintaining a defect rate of <0.3%.

Medical Component Machining: Ideal for small surgical parts (drill bits, implant screws)—an optional stainless-steel construction enables easy sanitization, complying with ISO 13485.

Electronics Connector Production: Integrates with vertical machining centers to produce USB-C/HDMI connectors, leveraging ±0.02mm accuracy to meet electronic component tolerances.

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum workpiece weight the manipulator can handle?

A: The standard model supports 20kg; a heavy-duty version (50kg capacity) is available with reinforced motors and grippers for custom needs.

Q: How to adjust the array tray for different workpiece sizes?

A: Partitions use quick-release knobs—loosen, reposition to match dimensions (size markers included), and tighten. No tools are needed; custom inserts are available for irregular shapes.

Q: Can it operate in dusty/oily environments?

A: Yes. It has an IP54 rating (dust/oil splash resistance) as standard; an IP65 rating is optional for harsh conditions (heavy oil, coolant spray).
