Concept:

You don't have to re-invent the wheel. Many of the automation projects we see today have customized hardware that is tailored to application, but often perform the same basic function. Axys Actuators are fabricated with modularity in mind so that makers who are designing single or multi axis motions systems can start with a hardware platform that enables quicker system design.

Makers will be able to jump start their development process by utilizing Axys Actuator hardware to save time. Axys hardware is made to be combined with readily available extrusions from 8020, and can be tailored with rails that allow the user to dial in their design specs.

Design:

The design centers around using as few components as possible, arranged in as many ways as possible, to create Single, 2-Axis, and 3-Axis systems.

We have achieved a max load of 20lbs, which will allow users to develop and create manipulators and fabrication heads with a freedom impossible on any standard 3D printing gantry system today. This allows the hardware to be used for a wider range of applications.

Our greatest achievement is the H-Bot, which allows precise, low inertia 2-Axis motion using stationary motors driving a single belt. While this technology is not unique, we believe we have created a highly effective kit that allows up to 1 square meter of motion with a 10lb load.

We also have in our toolbox a low inertia Z-Axis drive, that provides a hollow extending and retracting beam for use with fluid dispensing, suction, or the addition of a rotary axis.

Not wanting to skimp on quality, we round out our design with all Stainless Steel and Anodized aluminum components for a sleek and robust design with a low profile maximized travel space.

Production:

Axys Actuators components are fabricated from precision machined aluminum. This allows us the best value and strength for mounting and longevity. These parts were designed for manufacturing by being square and simple, allowing quick machining and cheaper production. We are currently looking into the viability of production domestically and overseas, but need support to undertake this stage.

Benchmark:

After looking through the marketplace, we believe we can be cost competitive in mass production, thus offering the best prices for makers to build their projects.
