Details on the R0019108 Zip Gate Opener Assembly

Problem

When fitting an RS Automation motor on an X axis, a larger diameter gearbox is required. If fitted to a machine with a zip gate system, this creates a problem with the gap needed for the Zip gate shafts - it is not wide enough.

Solution

Original solution was to supply shorter Zip ghate shafts, but this did not solve the entie issue, as the gearbox width is still too large, particulalrly when the zip gate opener is added. To overcome this, a flange for the gearbox was designed to becoime the zip gate opener.

Issues had to be overcome for the zip opening height

This was overcome by reducing the geabox plate mount width to drop the entire gearbox body blow the zip gates

The addition of the rear stainless gate opener allows the opening dimension to be correct and overcome this issue
