X-frame - häwa calculates with Merkle CAE Solutions GmbH
No two machine frames are functionally alike, but they all have one thing in common: they must be able to grow with their requirements. Häwa has developed X-frame for this purpose - a modular construction kit that offers maximum flexibility.
Through the constant integration of designs that have proven themselves in practical customer applications, it was possible to develop a standard modular system with X-frame and to expand it further and further.
X-frame has become a synonym for functionality, flexibility, practicality as well as well thought-out design in special machine construction. This is because the system designed by häwa was developed in such a way that all add-on parts and cables can be accommodated in the frame of the machine frame.
Strength verification by Merkle & Partner
To ensure stability and above-average load capacity of the X-frame machine enclosure, häwa avails itself of the support of the engineering firm Merkle & Partner.
Robots or linear guides are usually installed in the X-frame cells. These generate a significant load on the X-frame machine frames through movements and corresponding accelerations.
Accordingly, it must be ensured that the deformations do not become too large and that no inaccuracies occur in the process. Furthermore, the X-frame machine frame must neither tilt nor slip. This can also be checked by calculation.
Last but not least, the X-frame machine frame must also withstand the loads and must not break down.
This was tested mathematically by means of a strength verification.
Thus, it was possible to ensure mathematically that the X-frame would withstand future loads in every respect and meet the accuracy requirements.
X-frame in almost all technology and application areas
X-frame is now used in almost all technology areas: clean rooms, lasers, robotics or medical technology.
And is suitable for almost every application area:
- Hygiene: Perfect hygiene for sensitive requirements
- Laser protection: Laser and light-tight protective cells for every need
- Door systems: Effective, cost-effective and space-saving systems
- Robotics: Robot frames for extremely high torques
- Swiveling control cabinet: Integration of control cabinets at all levels
