In the demanding and critical realm of the defense industry, precision and customization are crucial. Motion Index Drives manufactured an exceptional solution specifically for a complex laser descaling project on heavy military vehicles.

At the core of Motion Index Drives’ solution was a system designed to eliminate backlash at the output of rotation. This feature ensured uninterrupted operation and maintained the integrity of the vehicle surfaces being treated.

The robust VTMF3010 trunnion was a key component, known for its strong load-handling capacity and precise positioning. It included an auxiliary axis robot motor for accurate alignment and control, as well as a safety locking mechanism to secure loads even in case of motor brake failure.

Motion Index Drives engineered a system with an oversized linear bearing setup featuring four parallel linear bearings. This design provided the necessary flexibility to accommodate different sizes of military vehicles while maintaining high precision and stability.

Motion Index Drives solution was tailored to meet the specifications of the defense application so the system could seamlessly integrate into the existing workflow. The integration of the VTMF3010 trunnion and the auxiliary axis robot motor provided a dual-system approach, delivering both robust load handling and precision alignment.
