Electric axes and portals
In addition to purely pneumatic drives, Metal Work also supplies electric cylinders, axes and gantries. Electric axes and portals play an important role in automation technology in particular. The range includes one-dimensional axes in various designs as well as three-dimensional gantries. This means we can offer the right solution for every requirement. Translated with DeepL

Linear motors
In the ELEKTRO ROUND DC cylinder, the forward movement of the piston rod is obtained via an acme screw and a self-lubricating technopolymer nut. This piston has a guide ring that is calibrated to minimize the backlash with the cylinder liner and reduce vibration during rotation of the screw. The piston also comes with a magnet for magnetic sensors. The system is driven by a direct current motor available in two versions, 12 and 24VDC. The position of the motor can be controlled using an optional encoder. A resettable optional fuse can be inserted in the cylinder for motor thermal overload protection. The motor used has a planetary gearbox with a 1/13 or 1/25 ratio. Depending on the configuration (screw pitch and gear ratio), this cylinder can be either irreversible (supporting the load with the motor off) or reversible under load. Both versions are supplied without piston rod anti-rotation device, which will be provided by the customer outside the cylinder. It is available in two versions: - with an in-line motor, where the motor shaft is connected directly to the screw via a coupling. - with a geared motor, where the transmission of motion is ensured by three cogwheels with a ratio of 1:1. This cylinder is designed for use with IP65 protection rating. The solutions with the acme screw are generally suitable for applications where the number of operations per time unit is reduced; the degree of accuracy is not particularly high due to heating of the screw-leadscrew assembly; wear over time does not create inconveniences, no high forces and speeds are required at the same time.

An electric cylinder with a connection interface in accordance with ISO 15552. The piston rod extension is controlled by a system with a hardened screw and recirculating ball screw nut. The piston has a guide strip calibrated to reduce to a minimum play with the barrel and hence vibration during ball screw rotation. The cylinder can be equipped with a built-in non-rotating system featuring two opposing slides that run in separate longitudinal slots in the barrel. The piston comes with magnets and the barrel has longitudinal slots for housing sensors. The piston rod has increased outside diameter and thickness to make it extra rigid and more resistant to radial and peak loads. A system for greasing the screws is included. Numerous standard accessories for pneumatic cylinders, can be used for mounting the cylinder. Accessories made of aluminium, or made of steel for heavy-duty operations, can be used. The motor can be selected from an optimised range, which encompasses both STEPPING and BRUSHLESS motors. There is a version with a brake mounted on the motor. Stepping motors are also available with a brake and encoder (all BRUSHLESS motors come with an encoder). It is important to remember that the brake is static type, so the motor must be stopped before the brake is engaged. There is a version for in-line assembly, where the drive shaft is jointed directly onto the screw. There is also a geared motor version, where transmission is provided by pulleys and a cog belt with a transmission ratio of 1:1. A planetary gearbox, in the case of a Ø 100 in-line cylinder, and pulleys with a non-unitary gear ratio, in the case of a Ø 80 and Ø 100 cylinder, can be used to increase the torque. Suitable motor drives are provided. Special adaptor flanges and joints can be provided if the customer wishes to use a particular brand of motor.

Metal Work Deutschland GmbH
Other control and drive systems
It can be used to control, easily and intuitively, electric cylinders that use a STEPPING motor with a rated current of up to 6A, two phases, with four, six or eight output wires. It connects up to a PC via a USB port and the user is provided with motion control configuration, programming and debugging environment, which allows you to create complex work cycles as it can handle both digital and analogue inputs and outputs, thanks to a user-friendly language (MW DRIVE) and a series of simple instructions and functions. It consists of two electronic boards housed in a metal box that has been designed to be fixed onto a wall or to a DIN rail, using an accessory, and is equipped with removable screw connectors for wiring. The electronic boards can control both the logic "motion control" stage and the power supply stage. This independent system is ideal for use in stand-alone applications not requiring the use of any PLC. The power stage consists of a ministep bipolar chopper drive. It is characterised by a supply voltage of up to 55VDC for the power supply side and 24VDC for the logic side, compact dimensions and great flexibility of use.

Programming Unit e.Motion
An independent system, ideal for stand-alone applications not requiring the use of any PLC. It can control electric cylinders simply and intuitively, or any other electric actuator, using either a STEPPER MOTOR or a BRUSHLESS motor of any size and capacity, connected to the relevant drive with a STEP/DIRECTION interface. It is connected to PC via USB port, and the user has access to a motion-control configuration, programming and debug environment irrespective of the type of motor/drive/actuator chosen, which uses a user-friendly language (MW POS) and a set of simple instructions and functions to create work cycles, including complex ones as it can handle both digital and analogue inputs and outputs. It consists of an electronic board housed in a metal box, which is designed mfor fixing to a wall or on a DIN bar with a fitting, and is equipped with removable screw connectors for wiring purposes.
