Small Components from Climax Provide Big Impact in Automation Systems
In automation applications, shaft collars and rigid couplings are essential in maintaining alignment, ensuring torque transmission and delivering consistent results.
Automation Systems in Auto Assembly Plants
With today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, factories and machines rely on automated processes to get things done. From initial processing to the final package, these systems are required to be efficient, consistent and reliable. Climax offers rigid couplings and shaft collars in a wide range of sizes and styles, key to keeping automation systems running smoothly and dependably.
Rigid couplings are a mechanical component with a single purpose: to connect two straight shafts together in fixed alignment. As the workhorse of the coupling family, rigid couplings provide high torque transmission, torsional rigidity, and ensure zero backlash. These characteristics are imperative for automation systems where precision and repeatability are vital. (more…)
Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry Requires Positional Accuracy & Repeatability
Climax Keyless Locking Devices provide a reliable solution when connecting drive line components in high-speed index packaging machinery commonly used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
Semiconductor Manufacturing
As the demand for semiconductors and associated components continues to rise, high-speed index machinery needs to operate at peak efficiency. Increased production is essential, putting a great deal of strain on manufacturing equipment. The drive line components, in particular, need to maintain positional accuracy and repeatability. Unfortunately, keyed connections can wear out, become out of sync, or break down, causing excessive downtime and loss of productivity.
The semiconductor manufacturing industry is one that relies heavily on the positional accuracy of its machinery, making a reliable shaft connection vital. Climax Keyless Locking Devices (KLDs) are an excellent solution for (more…)
