 Press Releases

  • ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. (Booth B37031) will showcase their standard Rack & Pinion Drives during FabTech 2023 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL , September 11 - 14 , 2023.

    ATLANTA Rack & Pinion Drives consist of both helical & straight (spur) tooth versions, in an assortment of sizes, materials and quality levels. They are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, CNC routers and material handling systems.

    ATLANTA now offers “digital” gear racks and an Industry 4.0 smartphone website that when used together can optimize the assembly of a multi gear rack system to minimize the cumulative pitch error and maximize positioning accuracy over the complete axis travel length.

    A “digital” gear rack has a 2D matrix code (similar to a QR code) and serial number marked directly onto it to encode the gear rack production and measurement information. This transforms an ordinary gear rack into a “digital” gear rack with smart drive technology built in.

  • Revolutionary ATLANTA Gear Rack Mapping Tool
    ATLANTA now offers “digital” gear racks and an Industry 4.0 smartphone website that can optimize the assembly of a multi-gear rack system to minimize the cumulative pitch error and maximize positioning accuracy over the complete axis travel length....
     

  • The positioning accuracy of a rack & pinion drive is dependent on the cumulative pitch error inherent in each gear rack used.  For long travel lengths, this cumulative pitch error can add up very quickly and dramatically affect the positioning accuracy of the axis.

    A “digital” gear rack has a 2D matrix code (similar to a QR code) and serial number marked directly onto it to encode the gear rack production and measurement information.  This transforms an ordinary gear rack into a “digital” gear rack with smart drive technology built in.

    The “digital” gear rack can now be used with the ATLANTA Industry 4.0 website to create an assembly map.  The website allows a customer to scan the 2D matrix code on the gear racks and download the encoded manufacturing information from the Cloud.  This information can be used to create an assembly map for the gear racks.

    This can be very helpful for machines with longer travel lengths, allowing for significant machine performance and precision improvements with increased assembly efficiency using standard, off-the-shelf ATLANTA rack & pinion products.
