According to HIWIN, the Taiwanese specialist for drive and linear technology, the CV axis combines impressive dynamics in a compact design with maximum precision, making it ideal for modern automation and handling systems.

The CV axis was designed specifically for vertical applications and operates with an integrated direct drive in the form of a linear motor that does not require any mechanical transmission elements. This completely eliminates friction, play and wear. The result is a durable axis with maximum positioning accuracy and low maintenance costs. The use of linear motors also enables extremely fast acceleration and deceleration processes, resulting in short cycle times.

A retrofittable weight compensation system, which is magnetic as standard but can also be implemented pneumatically, reduces the motor load in vertical applications, lowers energy consumption and expands the range of applications for the axis. The particularly lightweight cantilever ensures minimal moving mass while maintaining high rigidity. This enables very high accelerations of up to 80 metres per second squared and speeds of up to five metres per second – ideal for processes that require both speed and precision. According to HIWIN, the combination of compact design, low weight and high dynamics makes the CV axis an ideal component for modern machine concepts.

Like all linear systems from HIWIN, the CV axis has a modular design. It can be operated individually or integrated into multidimensional systems, particularly the company's own linear axis systems. Depending on the application, various encoder systems, energy supply systems and pneumatic clamping systems are available. This allows the axes to be precisely adapted to the requirements of mechanical engineering, robotics and automation technology.
