Bosch Rexroth expanded its CKR series of compact modules with a dual belt axis for dynamic handling with a total load capacity of up to 770 kg. The CKR-280 heavy-duty axis combines the functions of two linear axes into one linear system. Two independently driven carriages in a single frame enable dynamic applications with high drive torques and short cycle times. The system reduces valuable installation space and increases productivity, while saving time and costs for engineering, assembly and commissioning. It can be utilized as a single axis or combined with other linear axes into a multi-axis system, with the option also to include a drive package. With the CKR-280, Bosch Rexroth offers a space-optimized, heavy-duty axis that can handle two payloads up to 385 kg each and drive torques up to 250 Nm in multiple applications and industries, including battery production, intralogistics or machine tool automation.
