Heavy-Duty Rings, CR Series

Published on : Wednesday 11-03-2020

The new CR700 and CR900 heavy-duty rings are freely programmable using WEISS Application Software, W.A.S.

WEISS GmbH offers CR series of heavy-duty rings. These have a modular design, and can be finely adjusted and adapted to a wide variety of applications. New features include multiple gears and a central opening for cable and media entry that is more than twice as large as previous models. WEISS Application Software, W.A.S., ensures easy set-up and start-up – making the rings perfectly prepared for the ever-changing production requirements of the future.

The CR700 and CR900 models each come in two versions, “Precision” and “Dynamic”, depending on which of these two qualities is most important to the user. The “Precision” version has a preloaded drive system to ensure that timing and positioning are as accurate as possible. The key feature of the “Dynamic” version is acceleration with a higher power density. Both versions are the same height. The gear unit can be rotated by 90°, enabling both horizontal and vertical use.

Another new feature of this series is the significantly enlarged central opening – 230% larger than in previous models – for the insertion of cables, rotary unions and upright superstructures. The rings are nonetheless more rigid thanks to geometric optimisation and the use of the finite element method (FEM) during development. This opens new possibilities in the design of production facilities, for example, industrial robots can be set up directly over the ring to save space.

The new CR700 and CR900 heavy-duty rings are freely programmable using WEISS Application Software, W.A.S., with the relevant settings pre-programmed as standard. The rings can be started up quickly, easily and intuitively, with no special knowledge required. By making the rings modular, WEISS has created the basis for high flexibility in response to frequently changing production conditions. Users can select a heavy-duty ring that perfectly meets their individual needs.
