Technical details and manufacturing context for Positioning System
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning Accuracy | ±0.1–±0.5 mm | ±0.1 to ±0.5 — Measured at the load point, with a 100 kg test load.ISO 230-2 |
| Repeatability | ±0.05–±0.2 mm | ±0.05 to ±0.2 — For 100 consecutive cycles.ISO 230-2 |
| Maximum Load Capacity | 500–5000 kg | 500 to 5000 — Depends on carousel size and actuator torque. |
| Rotation Speed | 0.5–10 rpm | 0.5 to 10 — During positioning, speed is reduced to 0.1 rpm for final approach. |
| Angular Resolution | 0.01–0.1 degree | 0.01 to 0.1 — Determined by encoder resolution. |
| Operating Temperature | -10–+50 °C | -10 to +50 — For electronics; mechanical parts can operate from -20 to +70 °C.IEC 60068-2-1 · IEC 60068-2-2 |
| Protection Rating | IP54–IP65 | IP54 to IP65 — IP54 for dry indoor, IP65 for washdown or dusty environments.IEC 60529 |
| Supply Voltage | 24 V DC ±10% or 230 V AC ±10% V | 24 V DC ±10% or 230 V AC ±10% — Depending on actuator type.IEC 61131-2 |
| Power Consumption | 0.5–5 kW | 0.5 to 5 — Peak during acceleration; standby < 50 W. |
| Material of Housing | Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 or stainless steel 304 | Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 or stainless steel 304 — Stainless steel for corrosive environments.ASTM B221 |
| Encoder Type | Rotary absolute encoder, 12-17 bit | Rotary absolute encoder, 12-17 bit — SSI or Profibus interface. |
| Actuator Type | Servo motor with brake or electromagnetic brake | Servo motor with brake or electromagnetic brake — Brake must hold load in case of power failure.IEC 60034-1 |
| Control Interface | Ethernet/IP, Profinet, or Modbus TCP | Ethernet/IP, Profinet, or Modbus TCP — For integration with PLC.IEC 61784 |
| Duty Cycle | 100% continuous operation | 100% continuous operation — At rated load and speed. |
| Service Life | 20,000–50,000 hours | 20,000 to 50,000 — For bearings and mechanical components. |
| Humidity | 5%–95% RH, non-condensing | 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing — Outside this window: Condensation can short-circuit electronics and corrode contacts. |
| Vibration | Up to 0.5 g at 10-500 Hz | Up to 0.5 g at 10-500 Hz — Outside this window: Excessive vibration can cause encoder misalignment and premature bearing wear. |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The positioning accuracy is ±0.1 to ±0.5 mm, measured at the load point with a 100 kg test load, according to ISO 230-2. Verify the exact value for your specific model and application.
The maximum load capacity ranges from 500 to 5000 kg, depending on carousel size and actuator torque. Confirm the capacity for your intended load with the manufacturer.
The system supports Ethernet/IP, Profinet, or Modbus TCP for integration with PLCs. The encoder uses SSI or Profibus interface. Check compatibility with your control system.
The actuator is a servo motor with brake or an electromagnetic brake that holds the load in case of power failure. This ensures safe operation and prevents unintended movement.
