[Case Study] Labor-Saving Device with Multiple Head Drive

An example of contributing to the reduction of malfunction rates by replacing the rack and pinion with a TCG runner.

We would like to introduce a case study of our "TCG Runner" implementation. To consolidate the various processes of the labor-saving device into one, we considered manufacturing a device that completes the work in one process by arranging multiple pinions on the same rack. However, placing the rack and pinion in the same line resulted in significant variation in stopping positions, which led to issues. After implementation, the stopping accuracy improved, and positioning control with multiple heads became possible. Additionally, wear on the tooth surfaces was reduced, and the frequency of rack replacement and maintenance was significantly decreased, contributing to lower running costs. **Features** - High-precision positioning is possible - No impact from backlash during stopping - Smooth switching between forward and reverse due to non-backlash rolling contact - Minimal wear on tooth surfaces due to rolling contact in the meshing area, reducing the running costs required for replacement *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
