Title: Hiwin single axis robots
Post by: fer_mayrl on November 03, 2008, 07:11:24 PM

hello guys,
Has anyone ever worked with the single axis robots from HIwin?

Im wondering if they are stiff enough. Im planning on using them to make a 20ft x 12" x6" milling machine... to machine long steel parts...
wondering if they are stiff enough for the 12 and 6 inch axes, to machine steel, even if i have to take 1/16" or 1/32" passes.

Best regards
Fernando

Hello Rich,
20 feet

planning on using normal rails and rack and pinion on that axis.

The single axis robots would be used in the 12inch and 6 inch axes.
I see they can take quite a load,
Its just that for the size and configuration of the unit, is hard to beleive that they can take that much
here is the loading table:
