The Apex SC-W Series is the latest addition to the company’s extensive line of automation equipment. Said to be ideal for high-speed applications, the SC-W provides less friction and smooth movement with its all moving axes that ride on a hardened steel rail with bearing guide. Also equipped with AC brushless motors and individual control, three axes can be synchronized to move to a designated point at the same time. The SC-W series is equipped for molding machines from 50-220 tons, and provides greater flexibility during pre- and post-molding applications. A ridged steel traverse beam and sub-weldment are said to provide for near deflection-free travel. The SC-W features 14 spare inputs, and 14 spare outputs, C-90 degree pneumatic wrist rotate, full color 8.4” touch screen control pendant and an SPI interface that includes a 32-pin 10-amp robot side connector.
