M3 XBots (Movers)
XBots are offered in standard, hygienic and high temperature versions. Product numbering convention can be found XBot Numbering.
Standard XBots are assembled around aluminum frames, with lexan stickers on the bottom surface. The black outer bumper is made of a plastic material or anodized aluminum dependent on XBot size. The symmetrical hole pattern offers many possibilities to mount the product workpiece carrier.
Hygienic XBots meet the highest hygiene standards and is fully encapsulated inside a seamless housing made of 316L stainless steel. All seams are laser welded, and polished. This results in a completely closed XBot surface. Therefore, it is possible to clean the hygienic XBots with water or hydrogen peroxide. The rounded edges of the XBot ensure easy and effective cleaning. Hygienic XBots come in two models with different surface finishings:
HY01 (Ra = 1.6 µm) is often used for areas where contact with product is limited or where cleaning procedures are robust. Frequently used for outer surfaces or non-product-contact areas in hygienic systems.
HY81 (Ra = 0.8 µm) whose smoother surfaces reduce microscopic crevices where bacteria and contaminants can lodge, making cleaning more effective. In food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries, Ra 0.8 µm is often a minimum requirement for surfaces in direct contact with product.
High Temperature XBots offer the same trusted hygienic qualities as the Hygienic version, with enhanced durability designed specifically for autoclave sterilization. Engineered to withstand high-temperature, high-pressure steam environments, this version ensures reliable reusability and compliance with rigorous sterilization protocols, making it ideal for clinical, laboratory, or other settings where repeated sterilization is essential.
