Parts Handlers: Rotary, Linear & Walking Beam
Home > Products > Parts Handlers

IMC Parts Handlers are available in Rotary, Linear and Walking Beam configurations to meet your parts handling needs. They can be combined with IMC Index Drives and Precision Link Conveyors for a complete automated system. IMC offers four types of parts handlers.

  • RPP Cambot ® Rotary Parts Handlers are designed for high precision and high capacity.
  • HD-LPP Heavy Duty Linear Parts Handlers offer smooth, controlled motions and high load capacities.
  • MR-LPP Mid-Range Linear Parts Handlers have side input shafts ideal for line shaft driven applications.
  • WBD Walking Beam Drives are an economic alternative to a short precision link conveyor.


    Rotary (RPP) Parts Handlers
    Rotary Pick and Place Drives

    The IMC RPP Cambot® Rotary Parts Handler is designed for high precision and high capacity. and can be combined with other IMC products such as index drives and precision conveyors for a complete, automated system.

    The RPP is ideal for pick and place applications with features including:

  • Rugged and precise cam operated mechanisms engineered for a minimum of 8000 hours of maintenance-free life
  • Hardened and ground cams drive both the lift and rotary axes
  • Preloaded precision cam followers eliminate backlash and ensure smooth movement
  • Preloaded taper roller bearings on the camshaft (Input Shaft)
  • Four-point contact preloaded roller bearing on the rotary axis
  • All bearings are lubricated by an oil bath
  • One-piece lift arm
  • Ball bushings (recirculating-ball type) support the main lift shaft and turn the large output surface and ride on hardened shafts for stability and stiffness.
  • The RPP Cambot® can be made with custom motion sequences to synchronize with specific application requirements.


    High-End Linear (LPP) Parts Handlers

    High-End LPP Drives

    IMC HD-LPP Heavy-Duty Linear Parts Handlers offer smooth, controlled motions and high load capacities. The LPP can be combined with other IMC products such as index drives and precision conveyors for a complete automated system.

    The HD-LPP is ideal for linear pick and place applications with features including:

  • High-speed capabilities - up to 60 cycles per minute
  • Hardened and ground roller gear cams driving both axes
  • Fully preloaded roller gear cam and follower wheel design eliminates backlash and ensures smooth movement
  • Preloaded taper roller bearings on the camshaft (Input Shaft)
  • Compact design - small footprint
  • Long-life grease lubrication
  • The roller gear cam and follower wheel provide for the greatest variety of motion sequences making the HD-LPP ideal for custom motion applications.


    Mid-Range Linear (LPP) Parts Handlers

    IMC Mid-Range Linear Parts Handlers (MR-LPP) are ideal for linear pick and place motions. With the input shaft extending from the side of the unit, multiple units can be placed side-by-side and line shaft driven with timing belts and pulleys.

    Features include:

  • Lift and Transfer strokes can be adjusted in the field in 10 mm increments
  • Hardened and ground cams drive both axes
  • Preloaded, precision cam followers eliminate backlash and ensure smooth movement
  • Preloaded bushings (re-circulating ball type) support the internal carriage that drives the customer mounting surface. The ball bushings ride on hardened shafts providing stability and stiffness
  • Camshaft bearings are preloaded taper roller bearings
  • Compact Design
  • Long-Life Grease Lubrication


  • Walking Beam Drives (WBD)
    Waking Beam Drives

    IMC Walking Beam Drive (WBD) Parts Handlers are rugged and precise cam operated mechanisms engineered for a minimum of 8000 hours of maintenance free life.

    IMC Walking Beam Drives provide the basis for highly accurate linear motion. The WBD is an economical alternative to a short precision link conveyor. It can also be used as a linear parts handler or a single axis actuator.

    Other features include:

  • Hardened and ground cams drive both axes
  • Preloaded, precision cam followers eliminate backlash and ensure smooth movement
  • Preloaded bushings (re-circulating ball type) support the internal carriage that drives the customer mounting surface. The ball bushings ride on hardened shafts providing stability and stiffness
  • Preloaded taper roller bearings on Camshaft
  • Compact Design
  • Long-Life Grease Lubrication
  • Preloaded dust cover and shaft seals keep the internal mechanism clean
