Portal solutions

Scalability und repeatability

With the OWIS modular system, we implement portal solutions for measuring and handling systems without major development effort. The scalable solutions range from benchtop systems to gantries with travels of up to 1,500 mm and enable precise positioning of workpieces and test objects. Longer travel distances can also be realized with linear motors. In use, the systems impress with very good repeatibility and high flatness, so that time-consuming refocusing is often no longer necessary.

EXAMPLES FROM PRACTICE

Laser processing

The customized positioning system enables high-precision laser cutting, drilling, trimming and engraving. The compact design, which is based on OWIS positioners (LINPOS S and ROTPOS M), maps the three degrees of freedom X, Y and θz.

5-axis portal

The design of this granite portal structure, made up of LIMES positioners, enables parallel processing of the measurement task in industrial applications. Therefore, an additional axis for sample positioning has been added to ensure consistent positioning accuracy.

Analysis portal

The laboratory portal for the analysis of hundreds of samples consists of an XY stage of the CROSS series as well as linear stages of the LIMES and LTM series. The high flatness and exact alignment of the system eliminates the need for time-consuming refocusing and saves process time.

Compact granite portal

The laboratory portal made of granite enables the most precise vibration-free measurements. Positioning is performed by means of linear stages of the LIMES series and can be supplemented by goniometers and rotary stages for further degrees of freedom.

PLUG-AND-PLAY PORTAL SOLUTIONS

Would you like to position measuring heads, grippers or dispensers with absolute precision in the z-axis? No problem — we can add extra axes to your portal. We can also implement parallel processes flexibly with several x- or z-axes.

In combination with our motor controller and a joystick, we provide a genuine plug-and-play solution. This can be operated as either a stand-alone system or via our intuitive OWISoft software, which enables the fast automation of your positioning processes.

Are you interested in integrating the control system into your own measuring software? Our comprehensive Software Development Kit (SDK) supports numerous programming languages, enabling maximum flexibility in system integration.

The right solution for your tasks

Would you like to realize free apertures for transmitted light measurements? Our motorized XY stages are ideal for this – with travels of up to 190 mm as standard.

Are you planning pick-and-place applications or precise dispensing tasks? Add vertical axes to your portal for precise Z-positioning.

If short process times and maximum availability are important, our positioners with linear motors are the right choice. They form the powerful basis for your system development.

Typical applications:

  • multiwell imaging
  • optical metrology
  • liquid handling
  • laboratory automation
  • optical inspections (AOI)
