A smart solution from LINAK for heavy lifts in your automation projects

Designed to make your job easier

Integrating heavy lifts into your automation projects should not be complicated. With the LINAK® LC3 IC lifting column, you get a ready-to-use lifting solution from one single supplier. This reduces complexity, eliminates time-consuming calculations and testing, and simplifies both dimensioning and commissioning of sub-components. The result is a reliable and efficient lifting solution for industrial environments.

Built for machine builders like you

First deployed with cobot palletizers, the LC3 IC has already proven its reliability as industrial equipment in real-world applications. Now, it is even more versatile – designed to adapt to your specific automation requirements and applications.

The Danish system integrator ‘AKEA’ is one of the customers that got to test the product before launch, and they are impressed:
The LC3 IC lifting column is a no-brainer for machine builders because it combines high performance with easy integration. Instead of assembling complex and expensive servo solutions, you get a complete, tested product that is ready to use – both mechanically and electrically. This means less development time, lower costs, and easier maintenance with built-in diagnostics functions. Once the machine is running, the operator is able to identify faults easily without calling for support – and this is where the LC3 IC offers a huge advantage. If the machine is down, costs quickly add up, making a reliable solution essential.”
 

Save time with seamless integration

With an integrated controller, the LC3 IC eliminates the need for extra components and third-party suppliers. Forget about expensive workarounds to ensure compatibility with your machine interface. LINAK offers a wide range of industrial interfaces for effortless communication with your system. This will benefit your project from initial integration to daily operation at the customer site:

  • Faster setup – get your system up and running quickly
  • Lower costs – reduce the need for additional parts
  • Fewer failure points – increase reliability and uptime

Scale with confidence – run multiple columns in parallel

Need a flexible and scalable lifting solution? The LC3 IC allows you to run 2-8 columns in parallel, creating a stable and synchronized lifting system. With a decade of experience behind this technology, the LC3 IC ensures that no columns fall behind – preventing imbalance and protecting your application from damage.

The German system integrator ‘ek robotics’ shares their experience with the LINAK LC3 IC lifting columns, highlighting how the product exceeded their expectations, and addressed previous challenges with precision and integration efficiency:

Initially, we were hesitant to use lifting columns due to past challenges with parallelism in multi-column systems. However, the introduction of master-follower systems eliminated those concerns. The LINAK LC3 IC lifting columns have proven to be a highly reliable solution, delivering precise, problem-free movement to various positions. Given our limited time for custom designs, we depend on ready-made components that integrate seamlessly. LINAK’s precise parallel software and positioning accuracy give us confidence, allowing us to focus on mechanical and electrical integration.”

Key benefits:

  • Ready-to-use lifting column – a convenient shortcut to speed up development
