Hello All,
I have a motor indexing application that will reside in a very hot and wet environment. The application calls for both the X and Y axis to index at set increments (1"-3") in both directions. What I am looking for is different motors that would be best suited for this type of environment and perform these types of continuous position moves. I am wanting to rule out servo motors because of the cost.
Some system specs:
-Accuracy should be .125" over 60"span.
-Speed should be near 2 seconds per index
-Load is 50lbs
-Motor should be rated for IP65 or greater degree of protection
-Index moves range from 1"-3"
-During a complete usage each axis would be required to perform numerous index moves (250/axis/day)
This application will probably require closed loop control, this is obvious, but what I am struggling with is narrowing down the motor selection that will survive this usage and environment.
Any thoughts?
