Material Handling
Technical Documentation
English
Overview This material handling technical document covers aspect of any devices used in the transportation of boxes, packages or parts. Ball Transfers Vention’s ball transfers are threaded for tool-less installation into extrusion or tooling plates. Ball Transfer Summary Installed height is 26mm from the mounting surface to the top of the ball. Ball transfers have M8 thread for attachment into extrusion via t-nut or directly into threaded holes in tooling plates. Dynamic load capacity is 50 kg per unit. Typically arranged in “beds” at the start or end of conveyors to allow packages to be rotated. Spacing is dependant on the weight and size of the package, however typical intervals are between 90-135mm. When attached to extrusions, a few extrusions can be placed side by side to get the correct spacing. Vention’s ball transfer should only be used vertically, with the ball side facing upwards …

Enclosed Ball Screw Actuator
Technical Documentation

wear and shorten the actuator’s lifespan. **Note that force limitations depend on the supporting structure and the unsupported length of the actuator. Listed values are for unsupported lengths of 855 mm or less. Driving Force The driving force indicates how much weight the actuator can move and how quickly it can accelerate. This force is shown as “Fx” in the Load Capacity figure. For a more in-depth explanation of driving force, see the “calculating actuator forces” section of our linear actuator selection guide, or ask a Vention Application Engineer for help. Notes : These performance curves are made with our motors and controller at steady state conditions. Using others motors or controllers will have different behavior therefore performance and reliability cannot be guaranteed. Performance curves represent peak torque and speed values. Actual continuous performance may be lower due to I²T protection in the driver. For applications involving continuous …

Move Type : Specifies the type of motion to be used to reach the target. Move type can be either Move J or Move L. Move L will constraint the motion to follow a linear path. Tip: As Move L imposes a linear path, it can be more challenging to find a valid solution for a Move L trajectory in opposition to a Move J. In situations where Move L is failing, try changing the move type to Move J. Move Here : This button can be used to visualize …
ISO-50 Robot Flange Multi-Tool Adapter
Technical Documentation
English
Overview This Multi-Tool Adapter offers a streamlined way to mount an ISO-50 end-of-arm tool to an ISO-50 robot flange, while also supporting additional attachments on its side faces via M6 threaded holes. It maintains alignment between the robot arm and the tool without creating any clocking angle difference. Please note, this Adapter introduces a 30 mm Z-axis offset to the Tool Center Point (TCP). Installation Robot side step-by-step instructions To install this, you will need a 4mm hex key or t-handle. Step 1 Insert the four included M6 bolts into the robot’s ISO-50 mounting pattern. Once the bolt heads engage with the threads, tighten each approximately two full turns. Step 2 Insert the pin into the female side of the ISO-50 pattern on the Multi-Tool Adapter.

247.5 mm Extrusion Ecosystem Tech Doc
Technical Documentation
English
Introduction to 247.5 mm Ecosystem The 247.5 mm ecosystem has been designed to cover heavy-duty applications. This XL ecosystem can effectively reduce the complexity and the number of parts in heavy-duty structures which used to be designed using smaller extrusions such as 45x45, 45x90, and 90x90 mm profiles. This document will outline the extrusion’s capabilities, recommended configurations, handling procedures, and limitations that must be respected. Applications The 247.5 mm ecosystem is ideal for multiple types or large structures. One example is replacement of lattice frame X axes is large cartesian applications like the following. This greatly reduces the number of extrusions required and also makes the structure much more rigid. Another application example that the 247.5mm ecosystem is well suited for is overhead robot range extender frames. Supporting Architecture Here is the list of the new parts in this ecosystem as well as …
T-Slot Surface Translation
Technical Documentation
English
What is T-slot Surface Translation? T-slot surface translation allows you to slide individual or grouped components along the slotted surfaces of Vention's extrusions and actuator bodies, enabling easy repositioning during the design phase. Note: This differs from a Degree of Freedom (DOF), as it applies to component relocation in the design phase rather than available part motion in the final assembly. Selecting an Individual Component for Translation Select your Component with a left-click. If it can be translated, a slider will appear. Move the Component by dragging the slider in the desired direction to reposition the component. Any connected components will highlight and move along with the selected component. Note: The slider's range ensures components remain connected to the assembly. If no slider appears, the component is fully constrained. Translating in Multiple Directions If a component can move in multiple directions, all available sliders will …

Sliding Door Hardware
Technical Documentation
English
Introduction to Vention’s Sliding Door Hardware Sliding doors in industrial applications offer several advantages over traditional hinged doors that cannot be overlooked when seeking to optimize your workstation. The benefits include space optimization, easy access to machinery, user safety, maintenance access, division of workspaces, etc. Vention’s ecosystem includes two types of sliding door: panel sliding doors and extrusion frame sliding doors. Panel Sliding Door Panel sliding doors ( ST-DR-001-0001 ) are intended for no-load applications. Space optimisation, division of workspaces and aesthetics are common use cases. These panel sliding doors by default are a 1/4in (6.35mm) thick panel with a profile of 675mm x 675mm, but if a custom size is required, please consult our Application Engineering department. Guidelines for Panel Sliding Doors Installation When adjusting the panel sliding doors to your Vention setup, ensure that there is an opening on either side to …
