Positioning systems

SIKO positioning drives: Reduce setup times, enhance productivity!

“Short cycle times and changeover times, high productivity and quality with lower capital expenditure" is the recipe for success of ideal industrial processes. Positioning drives are also known as slewing drives, actuators, rotary drives, or spindle drives. 

SIKO positioning drives mean precise positioning for production machines

SIKO GmbH positioning drives easily handle a wide range of tasks, including automatic format changes, stop positioning, tool alignments, valve adjustments and many other comparable positioning tasks. SIKO positioning drives are true masters in precision positioning. 

Easy integration and commissioning of SIKO positioning drives

Thanks to a variety of sizes and forms, the integration of the actuator, the sensor and the control technology in a compact housing, different interfaces and bus systems, professional mechanical engineering is supported effectively in the integration and commissioning of the systems. The hollow shaft is mounted by simply attaching and locking the drive shaft using a clamping ring (keyway is optional), also making flexible retrofitting of existing axes possible without the need for lengthy preparation for assembly and fastening with the corresponding couplings, adapters and covers. 

Precise format changes are the great strength of our positioning drives

Product change with parameters that vary substantially is an everyday occurrence and requires numerous adjustment procedures. In such cases, the exact reproducibility of each adjustment is just as important as performing tasks at difficult-to-access or dangerous positions. The flexibility in terms of changing production goods grows in line with increasing product quality. 

Enhanced machine efficiency thanks to compact positioning drives

Integration of the DriveLine positioning drive is simple, and the accelerating effect as well as a lasting increase in machine efficiency and operational safety can be measured immediately. Predestined are manufacturing chains where small batch sizes, frequent format change or varying product sizes are daily business.

Benefit from the decentralized and modular automation with DriveLine and enhance your competitiveness decisively. A wide range of different versions and performance categories permit flexible scaling. Implement your "customized" solutions – from the basic module through to high-end applications. 

SIKO positioning drives are at home in a variety of applications

Fields of application for positioning drives have been in use in many production processes for decades, both on individual machines or within whole production lines, for example in packaging technology, press technology, the wood, glass and printing industries, the plastics and textile industries as well as in machine tool manufacturing and special-purpose machine manufacturing.
