Automec Backguage Controls – Programmable R-axis Features:
- Electric disk brakes hold the gauge bar at the proper height once the R-axis moves to position.
- Manual handwheels can be used when CNC positioning is not required
- Modular Motor Pack – The drive can easily be removed with 4 bolts for service. it includes the motor, amplifier and encoder. this motor pak is the same as the X-axis motor pak for consistency and case of service.
- 8 precision ball -bushing assemblies are used to traverse the gauge bar up and down. Those are the same proven bushings used on the x-axes.
- The uprights consist of 4 3/4″ dia. hardened steel ways mounted to a 1/2″ thick jig plate steel. This allows for perfect and consistent alignment of the ways.
