• Travel Range:
  • Z-axis (vertical): ~1,800 mm
    • Start of stroke: 300 mm
    • Max system height: ~4,700 mm
  • X-axis (horizontal): ~3,700 mm
  • Y-axis: 0 mm (stationary in this axis)
• Motion Parameters:
  • Z-lift speed: 0.4 m/s
  • Z-acceleration: 0.4 m/s²
  • X-travel speed: 0.6 m/s
  • X-acceleration: 0.3 m/s²
• Cycle time: ~54 seconds
