Bimba IntelliAxis T-BOt
IntelliAxis® T-Bot
and H-Bot

The multi-axis electric belt drive actuators offer 2-axis linear motion control using a unique single belt transport system that serpentines around both the X and Z axes which eliminates the need for a motor in the Z-axis while using two coordinated motors in the X-axis.  Advantages and benefits include coordinated motion control for complex motion profiles including circles, ellipses, and sine waves.H Bot

The HSXY/Z offers high thrust capability with high speed performance via a robust belt construction. Sharing many of the same components as Bimba’s flagship B80/B110 actuator family, the HSXY/Z offers long durability and performance all in a unique design. No motor in the Z-axis leads to reduced weight, which in turn leads to less overall Z-axis load and reduced X-axis motor size. The thrust and torque of both X-axis motors converge to provide twice the thrust of a single motor.

  • High Precision Steel Reinforced Arc-Belt Power Design
  • Ideal for High speed applications
  • Zero backlash
  • Self-aligning
  • Built-in Linear Ball Rail Guide
  • Precision to 0.001"

IntelliPress™ Electric Bench Top Press

IntellipressAdd more flexibility to your pressing applications with Bimba’s Intellipress™ Electric Bench Top Press. The IntelliPress™ bench top electric press is designed specifically to complement Bimba’s hydraulic and pneumatic presses and provide you with complete control over process speed, pressing force, and home position.

The ability to manufacture quality products is made easier with the capability to monitor both pressing distance and applied force. The networkable color HMI provides the ability to monitor production data and enables the operator to change production settings quickly and easily for faster changeover and setup times.

The oversized internal ball screw enables you to choose between three force output ratings for 3,000, 6,000, or 12,000 pounds of pressing force for your applications. The actuator is bolted to a high rigidity anodized steel frame designed for minimal deflection. Press controls include a solid-state safety relay to make integrating into your safety circuit simple and very flexible. Process changeover is made simple as each actuator features a female tapped rod end to readily accept your tooling.

Features & Benefits

  • Three press sizes with force ranges up to 12,000 lbs
  • Fully electric, energy efficient design utilizes single-phase power
  • Ballscrew driven electric actuator can accurately apply force in either direction
  • Infinitely variable position control within stroke range

The MG Series is cost-conscious, standard air preparation, perfect for baseline pneumatic circuits. The PG Series features a high-quality design and performance and can be mounted in a smaller package than similar products!

FiltersAIROS Filters

  • MG and PG series filters keep compressed air clean and protect pneumatic components by removing airborne contaminants
  • Modular MG and PG units allow you to build the exact system your application requires
  • MGFC and PGFL coalescing filters protect extra sensitive equipment by removing microscopic particles down to 0.01µ and oil down to 0.1 mg/m³

RegulatorsAIROS Regulators

  • Control compressed air pressure and minimize air loss throughout a pneumatic system
  • MGR and PGR modules utilize push-to-lock knobs to maintain desired output pressures
  • Integrated pressure gauges on MGR and PGR units provide enhanced visibility and ease of use

LubricatorsAIROS Lubricators

  • Lubricate compressed air and connected pneumatic components for improved operation and optimized machine life
  • Standard MGL and PGL oil mist lubricators can be installed in-line or directly to other air prep equipment
  • PGL available with high visibility prismatic metal and lightweight polycarbonate bowls

Combination UnitsAIROS Combination Units

 

  • Integrated MGFR and PGFR series filter-regulator units provide the same filtration and regulation capabilities in a smaller footprint
  • Pre-assembled MGFC and PGFC series filter-regulator-lubricator units come fully assembled and ready to go, allowing for quicker installation and less downtime

Soft Start ValvesAIROS Soft Start

  • Solenoid actuated with integrated soft start
  • SCSQ10 models slowly bleed compressed air into the air line upon start-up until the desired pressure is reached, preventing excessive noise and component damage
