Mover coupling
Two, four or six movers can be coupled with a frame. Regardless of the mover design, the following requirements must be met for the coupling:
- 240 mm center distance between movers
- Rectangular arrangement of the movers
- Use the same mover version, e.g. only APM4550-0000
The center distance ensures an almost linear increase in payload. The total payload can be calculated by multiplying the number of movers by the maximum payload of a mover minus the frame weight:
Variable | Explanation |
---|---|
A | Number of movers |
B | Maximum load of a mover |
C | Frame weight |
D | Total payload |
