B&R ACOPOS 6D planar transport system, 6 degrees of freedom, payload up to 40 kg

ACOPOS 6D is a planar transport system with magnetic shuttles. The shuttle moves without contact with the surface, travels, rotates and tilts; there is no wear and no abrasion particles, which matters for pharmaceutical and food production.

Series 3 (dense layout): shuttles 120×120–450×450 mm, payload 0.6–20 kg, segments 240×240×70 and 480×120×70 mm, levitation 0.5–4 mm, accuracy < 5 µm. Series 4 (heavier payload): shuttles 160×160–600×600 mm, payload 1.8–40 kg, segment 320×320×80 mm, levitation 0.5–6 mm, accuracy < 10 µm. Common: speed up to 3 m/s, acceleration up to 20 m/s², rotation < 20 mrad in X/Y and < 20° in Z, IP67, integrated segment cooling.

Collision avoidance in firmware, unique shuttle ID, simulation in ACOPOS 6D LaunchPad, common coordinate system with ACOPOStrak, SuperTrak, robots and vision. The manufacturer states up to 75% floor space saving and up to 69 shuttles per m².
