Hankook Machine Tools, the machine tools industry leader in Korea, successfully developed and launched the marketing campaign for its new roll lathe R-50W equipped with the DualKRP3+ from REDEX ANDANTEX, the European high-tech rack and pinion planetary drive manufacturer. This lathe provides more precise positioning and overcomes the limited Z-axis movement of existing ball screw-type lathes.

REDEX should announce a new record with the signing of more than 10 contracts for the supply of the Tandem Rolling Mills throughout the world over the last 12 months. In addition, the company will unveil its new range of Rolling Mills producing PV ribbon (photovoltaic copper thin sections)

Latest in the MEROBEL digital controller range, the X-block has been specifically designed for multi-spindle wire and cable pay-off applications, whether using open loop or closed loop tension control systems.

Despite the economic difficulties currently facing the industrial sector, Redex, a mechanical transmission and fine metals equipment specialist, will see 2009 revenues that will equal or better 2008’s exceptional numbers

The new PDP is a cost effective solution for high precision rack and pinion applications.

REDEX-ANDANTEX stands out with a complete range of spindle drive gearboxes designed for the highest-performance machine-tools, but also with outstanding torque transmission capacity. The new RAM High Torque has been designed for full in-line integration inside the ram between the motor and the spindle. This allows the electronic sensors to be located outside the gearbox, while simplifying maintenance operations.

KRPX is the new version of REDEX ANDANTEX rack & pinion high-tech planetary reducers. KRPX is a cost effective, easy to implement and high performing solution for moving column and gantry machine types. Made of two planetary reducers, KRPX allows perfect mounting on both sides of the machine frame. They are coupled with an electrical preload system enabling true zero backlash. This planetary reduction gear for rack and pinion applications offers exceptional rigidity characteristics, in particular through the one-piece output pinion technology invented by REDEX-ANDANTEX. It provides unrivalled radial rigidity (accounting for up to 60% of overall rigidity).

For its new range of VERSA milling machines, Nicolás Correa has adopted for both X and Y linear axis the TwinDrive rack & pinion drives from REDEX ANDANTEX. Electrically preloaded, this linear drive system achieves unique precision for such huge machine-tools.

This subcontractor of high, added value complex components now has a high capacity, precision machine capable of up to 100t, with dimensions of 10m x 6m and a precision of +/- 2/100mm on positioning.
