Ball screws

 

Ball screws are used to convert a rotary movement into a straight movement. They are often used in the 3D printer industry. Ball screws are particularly suitable for positions that can no longer be achieved in terms of accuracy, for example, with trapezoidal threaded drives or in which high actuating forces must be transferred in a friction-optimised manner.

Example application 3D printer Christian Reil

83% of the illustrated application of a 3D printer from our partner CR-3D is made up of components from the MISUMI one-stop shop.

In 3D printers, ball screws are used to convert a rotary movement into a linear movement. Christian Reil's 3D printer uses MISUMI's configurable ball screw in combination with a stepper motor to position the printing table in the Z direction.

The 3D printer C1 from CR-3D is a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printer for the highest demands.

The C-Series stands for a compact design and ultra fast printing speeds in a space of 320x250x350mm. The state-of-the-art CoreXY MotionSystem ensures low moving mass and low vibration movements of the dual print head. The weight of the printhead has been further reduced by the Bowden extruder system. The user interface is a 7-inch touch display, which provides intuitive operation, uncomplicated setup and detailed status information to the user. In terms of user-friendliness, the device has also been equipped with a filament sensor and automatic print bed measurement before printing, so that nothing stands in the way of high process safety and reliability.

Weidmüller

Series terminals

Weidmüller series terminals offer a wide range of tailor-made connection technologies as well as standard products for energy supply and distribution as well as signal wiring and earthing. When 3D printers are being built, different series terminals and PCB terminal blocks are required to ensure safe and reliable power supply and signal wiring. Weidmüller offers the complete range of series terminals and PCB connection technology for this purpose.

Recommendation

We especially recommend Klippon® Connect technology from Weidmüller. These are tailor-made application products, universal terminal blocks and process-supporting services, which offer the right solution for every concept. This concept is particularly interesting for control cabinet construction. Increasingly complex production processes and technological advances within the framework of Industry 4.0 can be found here. These require new solutions for efficient control cabinet construction.
