Like many success stories, that of JAT also has its beginning in a garage: Our founders, pioneers with a vision, came from the global corporation Zeiss and, with courage and ideas, founded a technology company that recognised its employees as its most important resource from the very beginning. Our collective goal: to be the technology specialist in the automation industry. Even today, it is curiosity and passion that drive us. If a lens, a laser, a sensor or a work piece needs to be moved highly dynamically in the sub-micrometre range, we will find the solution. In addition to our interdisciplinary and experienced development and production, it is our passion for each individual project that defines us as JAT. We go the extra mile, for our clients, their success, but also for ourselves. Thinking and acting globally, we are firmly rooted in Jena / Germany and the region and are passionately involved in various associations as sponsors and advisors.
How do you ensure parallelism between rails? For it to be accurate. How do you ensure perpendicularity with the gantry? How do you measure the exact distance between the left and right rails, since I do not know of a comparison instrument to measure the parallelism between the two rails. I work, assembled machines with the same structure, only they have, a tank between the rails. My problem has been aligning the rails on each side, to ensure parallelism and squareness. The rails are located at a distance of 3 meters from each other. Do you know any technical and effective alignment system. Well, I do it empirically with a tensioned steel wire.
Thank you for your interest in our product. We use different ways to ensure parallelism between the rails, depending on the required accuracy. For simple distances we use mechanic and optic gauges. To measure perpendicularities, e.g. on gantry systems, we use 3D gauges, which allow the determination of points in the entire workspace. Please understand, that the knowledge of this setup is one of our core skills. That is why we can not tell you in detail.
