The XLA™ 9 has a static capacity exceeding 3,500 lbs. and a dynamic capacity of more than 2,300 lbs. based upon 2 million inches of travel life in a unit with an envelope of 1.99" tall and 3.75" wide. The XLA™ 15 has a static capacity exceeding 14,000 lbs. and a dynamic capacity of more than 9,500 lbs. based on 2 million inches of travel life in a unit with an envelope of less than 3" tall and 6" wide. Moment Load Compensation™ negates the effects of applied moment, instead making offset loads into an equivalent vertical load. Moment Load Compensation™ makes slide life easy to calculate and consistent. |
Travel Lengths |
N/A The actuator travel length can be specified in any 1" increment. The XLA 9 has a minimum stroke of 3" and a maximum stroke of 34" while the XLA 15 can be between 3" minimum and 99" maximum. Custom length XLA 15 actuators have a theoretical maximum length of 110" and can be manufactured under close Bishop-Wisecarver engineering support. Excessively long travel lengths require very long unsupported ball screws and screw whip vibrations will limit the maximum attainable speed. |
Rigid Construction |
N/A The XLA™ actuators are built using compact T-slot aluminum extrusions that are designed to provide exceptional structural strength even when used without support. The XLA™ series is seen as a solution to cross-axis applications where the rigid extrusion enables the actuator to become a structural member of the machine without the need for expensive base mounting structures. This feature makes the XLA™ perfect for a cross-axis, or Y-axis, on gantry applications. |
Adaptable |
N/A
All XLA™ series products incorporate T-slot channels along the full length of the base. This bilateral channel allows for quick and easy adjustment of limit switches and other peripheral add-ons. The channels located on the underside of the base are configured to allow for simplified mounting into an X-Y configuration. Multiple axis units can be easily joined without the need for additional mounting plates. The mounting holes in the XLA™ carriage match mounting holes in the XLA™ base. The XLA™ can be mounted in X-Y and Z configurations with the optional Z bracket. A close examination of the top carriage mounting pattern reveals a unique top-down or bottom-up mounting method to make attachment of your devices to the XLA™ a simple, versatile process. |
Environmental Compatibility |
N/A The XLA™ actuators incorporate an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum base and are constructed with carbon steel screws, fasteners and components. Stainless steel options are available. Upon special request, XLA™ can be configured with a stainless steel ball screws, profile guide rails, and end support bearings for additional environmental corrosion resistance |
