Products & services

High-end solutions with CNC controls from Beckhoff
In order to meet the requirements of modern and sophisticated machine systems, we chose the CNC control solution from Beckhoff and are thrilled with the performance and the TwinCAT automation software. Beckhoff is one of the pioneers of PC-based automation. The technology know-how that has grown in recent years is what sets Beckhoff Industrial PCs apart. In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, they offer powerful control for PLC, NC and CNC functionalities. TwinCAT is the automation system optimized for machine tool construction, with which all control, HMI and IoT applications can be implemented consistently in one system, from compact to complex applications. Extensive, consistent software functionality for typical requirements in machine tool construction facilitates engineering and the implementation of machine functions.

New rotary table RT6A100 with high rigidity
With the new RT6A100 rotary table, Föhrenbach is expanding its rotary table portfolio. The RT6A impresses with a new type of bearing for the turntable. The integrated crossed roller bearing provides high rigidity and can support high loads. High concentricity and axial run-out accuracy are a matter of course. The rotary table is driven by a worm gear with a gear ratio of i=36:1 and simple, dimension-oriented backlash adjustment.nVarious stepper or servo motors from the Föhrenbach standard program are available for the drive. Optionally, the motor flange can also be adapted to third-party motors. The rotary table can be additionally equipped with various types of limit/reference point switches, as well as various functions. The rotary table can be used in all mounting positions. Various standard hole patterns and grooves for clamping claws are available here for mounting.

Rotary-swivel unit RT3A100
The universal solution for handling, assembly technology, machine tools, laser processing and… … for your application as well The rotary table combination RT3A100 consists of two directly driven rotary tables of the RT3A100 series. The B-axis has a swivelling range from approx. -10° to +110°; the C-axis can be rotated infinitely. The unit is driven by two integrated 3-phase synchronous motors. The drive guarantees highest dynamics and precision. An innovative clamping unit integrated in the housing guarantees high holding forces when the drives are switched off without position changes on the axes. By means of compressed are impact, the holding torque can be increased from 15Nm to 20Nm for special applications. The complete system is supplied as ready-to-connect unit.

Control Systems, Drives and complete control cabinet systems
With the control and drive services we provide and assist our customers in pursuing their key manufacturing targets in the area of automation technology. In order to achieve success in the long-term, continuous improvements need to be made to machines and equipment as well as technology fundamentally renewed. We take over the project planning and electrical construction of individual complete control cabinet systems for our customers. ol unipos 330 CNC continuous path control unipos 330 The unipos 330 is a universal, modular CNC continuous path control for up to 4 axes (interpolating) in connection with a PLC for controlling most reliable applications for machine construction automation technology, machine tools and special applications. Flexibility, high speeds with perfect processing results, energy efficiency and connectivity - the demands on modern machine systems are constantly increasing. In the area of control technology, we rely on systems from Beckhoff.

Complete systems and multi-axis systems
In addition to individual components, Föhrenbach supplies systems ready for installation as well. These systems can be assembled from different components, manual / motorized axes and / or rotary axes - as desired and depending on the requirements.

With the rotary tables from Föhrenbach you get an extensive and at the same time flexible solution for your requirements - everything from a single source and any time expandable.
Positioning with system! With the rotary tables from Föhrenbach you get an extensive and at the same time flexible solution for your requirements - everything from a single source and any time expandable. Our solutions are characterized by precision, durability and big light aperture.
The motorized precision slides PFL, PCL and PKL of Föhrenbach operate even more precisely and faster due to its integrated linear motor..
The motorized precision slides PFL, PCL and PKL of Föhrenbach operate even more precisely and faster. In this connection, PFL stands for a slide with conventional bellows, PCL means sheet metal cover, and PKL stands for special protection against cooling media as they are used in grinding machines in the form of water, grinding oil or emulsion. As internal development by Föhrenbach, the integrated linear motors are precisely adapted to the respective requirements and provide consistently high speeds and acceleration values.

The motorized precision slides with spindle drive have been designed for the requirements of the mechanical engineering. Due to the modular design, an optimal model concerning the technical use and the price is available for the solution of any problem.
Covers and lengths are available in different variants and for different use cases.
Manual precision slide guides are available in two series with identical dimensions as dovetail slides or as roller bearing slides in standard widths of 30 to 400 mm and lengths of 35 to 1,800 mm.
