Rack and pinion systems are crucial in the heart of the most advanced machinery and systems. If you are tired of margins of error, uncertain assemblies, and excessive costs, it is time to change perspective.
ATLANTA has transformed the rack and pinion, elevating it from a simple mechanical component to a guaranteed and intelligent drive system.
Other market players are forced to reduce the loads applicable to their components. This happens because, unlike ATLANTA, their production process is not adequately under control. In other words, their “price oriented” approach compels them to reduce quality in order to compete in terms of apparent cost.
The ATLANTA solution consists of producing racks through consolidated, stable, and meticulously controlled processes across the different working phases. In this way, it is possible to offer real data on applicable loads, allowing customers to optimize costs and dimensions, enabling the use of nominally smaller modules for the same required load. Even in the case of short strokes, the benefits in avoiding rack breakage and premature wear are evident.
ATLANTA, for example, verifies the results of the heat treatment, its performance, and compliance with the required quality levels by executing hardness and metallographic tests on sacrificial samples added specifically to the production batch.
This means that the ATLANTA approach is “value oriented”, meaning the product is studied and manufactured so that value, and not cost, is the focus of attention.
This is why one must not make the mistake of comparing racks on the market of a certain quality and module with ATLANTA’s nominal equivalent. Instead, one must consider the real design parameters and determine the correct choice.
ATLANTA’s core expertise is the integration of Industry 4.0 into linear drive systems, coupled with a consultative approach to your motion requirements, going beyond simple material processing
An ATLANTA innovation is overcoming the uncertainty of theoretical quality classes.
Common problem: the Total Pitch Error (TPE) accumulates along long axes, causing critical misalignment and unexpected costs.
The ATLANTA Solution: the Digital Twin concept is applied to every single rack, individually measuring the real parameters of each component and mapping them digitally.
What are the benefits of the “ATLANTA Method”?
In summary, the ATLANTA advantages are evident:
The adoption of the ATLANTA system is not a simple purchase, but requires careful design starting from the initial project specifications. Consequently, a direct comparison (1:1) with solutions from other suppliers, based exclusively on cost-per-unit-mass metrics, is technically misleading and inappropriate.
In summary: the evaluation of the system must be based on the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and the guaranteed metrological and load performance, rather than on the mere purchase cost.
Whether dealing with short or long strokes, with high or low loads, or with systems based on standard products or tailor-made solutions. The result is extensive application in:
