WEISS LP 2D Linear Portal Review: Specs and Uses of the Plug-and-Play Linear Motor Gantry
Updated: 7 days ago
The WEISS LP is a ready-to-install 2D gantry built from WEISS linear motor axes. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The LP covers larger work areas than the HP module: up to 1,000 mm horizontal and 450 mm vertical stroke with up to 8 kg payload. HN and HL linear motor axes provide direct drive, and an absolute measuring system means no reference run after power-up. It ships fully configured from a few inputs: strokes, load and interfaces. Fieldbus interfaces include OPC UA, and W.A.S. 2 software packages are supported. Speed and repeatability are not stated.
