Positioning systems

In the past, the machine bed, linear technology, and drive & control technology of machinery, plants, and equipment were often developed and procured separately. A holistic (mechatronic) approach to development is now essential to meet the increasing requirements for state-of-the art, highly dynamic, and high-precision moving and positioning systems, while also reducing development times and costs.

Multi-axis positioning systems combining machine bed, linear technology, drive technology, and control technology

High-precision and extremely dynamic positioning systems and movement tasks call for an integrative approach. The interactions between linear technology, machine bed, drive technology, and control technology need to be considered as a whole right from the initial design and development stages. This is the only way to avoid a negative impact on the service life and precision of the machinery. Based on the solid foundation of machine beds made from natural hard stone and mineral casting, RAMPF Machine Systems offers innovative complete solutions for customer-specific positioning and movement tasks involving the toughest requirements in terms of precision and dynamics – from development and design to manufacture and assembly.

Innovative complete solutions for high-precision moving and positioning tasks

RAMPF Machine Systems develops, manufactures, and assembles customized, high-performance machine beds and other machine bed assemblies with ultra precision based on structural-analytical calculations and state-of-the-art production methods, using innovative machine bed materials and technologies (e.g. natural hard stone, mineral casting, fibrous composite material, and metal foams). Connections and interactions with linear and drive technology are an integral consideration throughout the development process.
