Güdel has announced that its new optimised telescopic vertical axis now offers an elegant and practical solution that meets all the requirements in terms of load capacity, service life, safety and ease of maintenance.

Up until now telescopic axis design has had inherent limitations, including a reduced payload that can often be as much as 50% of that of a standard axis. In addition, older telescopic axis designs leave little room for enhancements to safety, functionality monitoring or any other configuration options, such as an integral rotate axis.

To overcome the drawbacks and restrictions of traditional telescopic axes, Güdel has now launched a fundamentally revised telescopic axis design featuring hugely improved performance in terms of weight capacity, dynamics and safety.

This new design is very much equivalent to a standard fixed axis, as both versions have exactly the same payload. In effect, the new Güdel axis has a 50% increase in payload when compared to their previous telescopic axis, thanks to its double profile tube construction. Other advantages include a second toothed belt, which provides additional security for the inner carrier profile and optical monitoring of both belts.

The new space-saving design also makes it possible to integrate a safety brake into the telescopic axis. The new variant is also very maintenance-friendly, so changing rollers, belts or even the guide carriages is quick and easy.
