The Challenge
Tesla required motion control systems capable of achieving sub-micron positioning accuracy while operating at high speeds in a 24/7 production environment. The system needed to handle rapid acceleration and deceleration cycles without compromising precision or reliability.
The Solution
Nexen engineered a comprehensive motion control package featuring our Zero Backlash Roller Pinion Systems for linear motion, combined with NexSafe Servomotor Brakes for precise stopping and holding. Custom Gearheads were specified to optimize torque delivery for each robot axis.
Results
Sub-micron positioning accuracy achieved
99.98% uptime over 18 months of operation
Cycle time reduced by 15% vs. previous systems
Zero unplanned maintenance events
