600mm travel telescopic fork

Product Overview: The "Agile Arm" of Automation Systems

itinerary600mm travel telescopic forkThe micro telescopic fork with a load capacity of 50kg is a specially designed forAutomated equipment with limited spaceThe key execution components of the design. It is essentially a linear mechanism that can precisely control its extension and retraction movements, like a nimble and powerful arm. Its core mission is to safely, accurately, and efficiently complete the tasks of object retrieval, handling, and positioning in a limited space.

Its "micro" characteristics lie in its compact structure and light weight, but it achieves a balance between "large stroke" and "moderate load" in terms of performance, making it an indispensable "key finger" in the fields of modern intelligent warehousing, flexible manufacturing, and robot integration.

Core Design and Technical Features

1. Compact structural design：

   
   

• Thin fork bodyThe body of the fork (width and height in the retracted state) is designed to be very slim, making it easy to integrate into multi-layer shelves, narrow robot ends, or compact equipment interiors, maximizing space savings.

  
  

• High travel percentageThe 600mm stroke has a high stroke proportion relative to its contracted total length, achieving the goal of "small body, big achievements".

  
  

2. High load and high rigidity：

   
   

• A load capacity of 50kg means it can stably handle most material boxes, trays, workpiece boxes, and small components in industrial scenarios.

  
  

• adoptHigh strength aluminum alloyorhigh-quality steelManufacturing and structural reinforcement at critical locations to ensure that when fully loaded and extended by 600mm,Control the deflection (downward bending) within the allowable rangeEnsure positioning accuracy and equipment lifespan.

  
  

3. Precision Transmission and Guidance：

   
   

• Transmission system: Usually usedPrecision ball screworTiming beltDrive. The screw drive has higher precision and better load capacity; Synchronous belt transmission has faster speed, lower noise, and more cost-effective advantages.

  
  

• guidance system: Equipped withHigh precision linear guide railEnsure that the fork runs smoothly and without shaking during the expansion and contraction process, thereby achieving high repeatability positioning accuracy (usually up to ± 0.5mm to ± 1mm).

  
  

4. Rich customized interfaces：

   
   

• The fork end provides standard installation holes or flanges for easy connection of various typesjig and fixture(such as tray hanging pieces, push-pull plates, mechanical fingers, etc.).

  
  

• The body also reserves a standard installation surface, which can be easily connected withLinear module, six axis robot or lifting mechanismDocking up.

  
  

5. Integration and Intelligence：

   
   

• Can be built-inlimit switchorReed sensorUsed to detect the original and extreme positions of expansion and contraction.

  
  

• Easy to cooperate with servo motors or stepper motors, achieved through PLC or motion controllersFully closed-loop precise controlSeamless integration into automation systems.

Typical application scenarios

1. Dense Stereoscopic Warehouse (ASRS)：

   
   

• sceneMini storage or material box type three-dimensional storage for "container to person".

  
  

• effectForks are integrated into the elevator, penetrating into narrow cargo spaces to accurately store/retrieve standard material boxes or cartons weighing up to 50kg, achieving maximum warehouse space utilization and inbound/outbound efficiency.

  
  

2. Intelligent Manufacturing and Machine Tool Loading and Unloading：

   
   

• sceneAutomated loading and unloading of CNC machining centers, injection molding machines, and stamping machines.

  
  

• effectAs the end effector of robots or specialized loading and unloading equipment, insert a 600mm stroke "arm" into the interior of the machine tool, firmly grasp the raw material blank and place it in the chuck, and then remove the processed finished product.

  
  

3. Automated production line and assembly line：

   
   

• sceneTransfer of materials between different workstations and feeding of assembly platforms.

  
  

• effectBuilt into the conveyor line, it accurately pushes workpieces from one assembly line to another, or delivers components from buffer positions to positions within reach of the assembly robot.

  
  

4. Special Environment and Testing Equipment：

   
   

• sceneHigh temperature furnace, clean room, automated testing platform.

  
  

• effectIn environments where it is inconvenient for people to enter or where high cleanliness is required, perform material placement, removal, or precise pushing of the tested item under the detection instrument.

  
  

Selection Guide

When choosing this type of fork, it is important to clarify the following points:

1. Load and center of gravityConfirm whether the 50kg load includes the weight of the fixture and where the center of gravity of the load is, which directly affects the selection and rigidity requirements of the fork.

   
   

2. Speed and beatHow fast does it need to stretch and contract to meet the production pace?

   
   

3. precision requirementsWhat is the requirement for repeated positioning accuracy?

   
   

4. installation spaceMeasure and confirm whether the installation space reserved for the fork of the equipment is sufficient.

   
   

5. Control methodSelect the motor type (servo/stepper/cylinder?) and determine the required sensor feedback.

   
   

6. special environmentAre there any special requirements for high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, cleanliness, etc?
