ANCA Machine Tools (AMT) services manufacturing precision cutting tools and components across a diverse range of industries around the globe.
It recently added the FX Linear and MX Linear machines to its range, with both machines powered by LinX Linear Motor, developed by ANCA Motion, a sister company of AMT.
LinX Linear Motor overcomes problems related to flatbed linear motors and delivers reliable performance with a cylindrical design. The motor consists of a shaft containing magnets and a forcer containing wound copper coils. The symmetric design results in zero attractive forces between the forcer and shaft, significantly reducing the loading requirement on support bearings. The thermal barrier design separates and removes heat from the motor, eradicating thermal growth for the machine.
With LinX’s simple construction, non-critical air gap and no physical contact between shaft and forcer, machine manufacturers can significantly simplify installation, reduce maintenance and extend machine life.
