Machine Models Overview

RPT machines

The RPT machines are Roed­ers’ lat­est devel­op­ment. Thanks to numer­ous design improve­ments and the refine­ment of the PRECITEMP® tech­nol­o­gy, the tol­er­ances and sur­face rough­ness reli­ably machin­able in many appli­ca­tions have been reduced by at least half com­pared to the proven RXP machines. In some cas­es, sub-microme­tre lev­els are achieved.

RXP machines

With its RXP machines, Roed­ers achieved a break­through in the lin­ear motor tech­nol­o­gy in year 2004. Well over 1,000 machines of the RXP500 alone were man­u­fac­tured. Over the years, the machines have under­gone con­tin­u­ous tech­no­log­i­cal devel­op­ment, enabling them to achieve unri­valled pre­ci­sion in many applications.

RXU machines

The larg­er the machine’s machin­ing area, the larg­er are the tools required for the appli­ca­tion. Roed­ers has tak­en this into account and devel­oped a par­tic­u­lar­ly rigid machine design based on the QUADROGUIDE con­cept, which also allows the use of high-torque spin­dles. How­ev­er, high-torque spin­dles are lim­it­ed in terms of max­i­mum rpm. For this rea­son, RXU machines often are built as “Z2” twin-spin­dle machines with two main spindles.

RHP machines

Due to the high pre­ci­sion of the RPT machines, with their extreme­ly pre­cise guide­ways pro­vid­ed by the NANOTOL® tech­nol­o­gy, the use of machines with hydro­sta­t­ic guide­ways such as the RHP machines is now only jus­ti­fied in few spe­cialised appli­ca­tions. In these cas­es, they can achieve for exam­ple a sub-microme­tre round­ness in small bores by grinding.
