Cartesian Arm System handles medical technology.
April 3, 2009 -
Providing 3 linear axes, backlash-free UNIPLACE 2300 contains drive and control unit as well as media feed-through, which can be used to feed air, or for forwarding electrical signals. System allows working area up to 1,000 x 400 x 240 mm to be covered, while integrated distance measurement system with resolution of 8 µm allows repeat accuracy of ±0.05 mm. Able to move weights up to 5 kg, system features max speed of 1 m/s and max acceleration of 3 m/s².

UNIPLACE 2300/2400 - Handling System for Medical Technology
The SCHUNK UNIPLACE handling system is a cartesian arm system with an innovative drive concept and compact design.
The backlash-free system with three linear axes (UNIPLACE 2300), which can be optionally fitted with an additional rotary axis (makes it a UNIPLACE 2400), is extremely quiet and precise. In addition to the drive and the control unit, it also contains a media feed-through, which can be used to feed air, or for forwarding electrical signals.
The linear axes have effective dust protection covers and a sealed cover for the rotation axis and the control unit so that the entire series can also be used in applications with stricter requirements in terms of freedom from dust or guaranteed hygiene. This makes the UNIPLACE handling system suitable for applications in laboratory automation, laser processing, medical technology or for pick and place tasks with optional optical inspection.
The UNIPLACE is easy to integrate in machines and systems. It can also be used as a standalone system - all that is required is power and a laptop (only for programming, not for operating). The highly professional software makes programming the system easy.
The UNIPLACE handling system allows a working area of up to 1000x400x240 mm to be covered, and the precise integrated distance measurement system with a resolution of 8 µm allows a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.05 mm. The UNIPLACE 2300 can move weights up to 5 kg; its sister module UNIPLACE 2400, which is equipped with a rotary axis, can cope with maximum loads of 3.5 kg, whereby the maximum angle of rotation of the rotary axis is +/-270°. The maximum speed in both versions is 1 m/s, and the maximum acceleration is 3 m/s².
