12000N High Dynamic Floor Mounted Gudel TMF-4 Robot Linear Track

Product Specification

12000N High Dynamic Floor Mounted Gudel TMF-4 Robot Linear Track

Overview

• • The GUDEL TMF-4 is a floor mounted robot linear track engineered to carry heavy industrial robot arms along long travel distances under continuous dynamic load without losing rigidity.
• • A horizontal load range of 12000N to 116800N and travel speeds up to 2000 mm/s let the track move large fixtures, gantries and workpieces while the mounted robot keeps working.
• • Servo driven rack and pinion motion holds repeatability at +/-0.05 mm, so the seventh axis stays aligned with the robot mounted on the carriage over the whole stroke.
• • Motor, gearbox and gear are matched at the factory, which shortens mechanical integration and keeps backlash low across a stroke that can reach several metres.
• • The IP54 floor base installs with standard anchors and needs no overhead structure, so the track can be added to an existing cell with minimal civil work.
• • The TMF-4 is selected for palletizing, welding, machine tending and CNC handling cells where payload and travel length on a single floor track decide the throughput of the line.

Key Specifications

Advantages

• • +/-0.05 mm repeatability keeps every pallet and weld seam aligned on long production runs, so robot programs transfer without re-teaching.
• • A 12000N to 116800N horizontal load capacity supports heavy gantries and fixtures without sag, even when the largest payloads are moved at full speed.
• • Travel speeds up to 2000 mm/s shorten cycle time on long linear moves between stations and keep operators clear of the moving axis.
• • Factory matched motor, gearbox and gear reduce integration time and mechanical backlash, cutting commissioning hours on site.
• • The floor mounted base installs with standard anchors and needs no overhead structure, which lowers the cost of adding a seventh axis to a cell.
• • IP54 protection resists dust and splash in busy fabrication and logistics halls, helping the drive train survive years of heavy duty work.
• • A long optional stroke lets one track serve several machines or pallet positions on the same production line.

Applications

• • Floor mounted palletizing and stacking cells
• • Robotic welding lines for large fabrications
• • CNC machine tending and part transfer
• • Gantry handling of heavy components
• • Automotive and logistics automation
• • General Industry 4.0 linear movement

FAQ

Q: What load can the TMF-4 robot linear track carry?
A: It handles a horizontal load of 12000N to 116800N and payload combinations of 12500N, 5000N, 2000N and 800N, suiting heavy gantries and fixtures on a single floor track.

Q: How accurate is this floor mounted track?
A: Repeatability is +/-0.05 mm, so the seventh axis returns the mounted robot to the same position each cycle even over long travel distances.

Q: How fast can the track travel?
A: Maximum travel speed reaches 2000 mm/s, which keeps long moves between workstations inside a competitive cycle time for heavy handling.

Q: What drive system does the TMF-4 use?
A: It uses a servo electric rack and pinion drive, with motor, gearbox and gear matched at the factory to keep backlash low.

Q: Is the track supplied ready for integration?
A: Yes. Motor, gearbox and gear are matched and tested at the factory, and the IP54 floor base mounts with standard anchors. Contact us for a stroke and payload configuration.
