GLTH Series: Low-Profile Industrial Actuators

Space-Saving Precision for Height-Restricted Automation

The TOYO GLTH Series is the specialized low-profile alternative to the standard GTH workhorse, engineered for machine builders who require high performance within tight vertical footprints. This series offers a compact, lightweight construction without compromising on rigidity or precision. By optimizing the base-to-carriage height, the GLTH enables more efficient multi-axis stacking and seamless integration into space-limited industrial environments.

Advanced Configuration Options

To meet specialized engineering requirements, the GLTH series is available in high-utility carriage variants:

  • "D" Variant (Dual Carriage High-Payload): Employs two carriages moving in tandem to provide significantly increased moment-load resistance and horizontal stability. This configuration is ideal for low-clearance pick-and-place systems requiring maximum rigidity.
  • "M" Variant (Extended Length Ball Screw Support): Features a specialized design optimized for using ball screws at longer travels with moving screw supports. These supports increase the critical speed values and allow for faster moves.

Core Performance Highlights

  • Compact Space-Saving Design: Boasts a streamlined, low-profile chassis that maximizes overhead clearance, making it the premier choice for tabletop automation and compact gantry systems.
  • High-Speed Material Transfer: Capable of reaching linear speeds up to 1440 mm/s, ensuring rapid cycle times and high throughput in modern manufacturing lines.
  • Precision Repeatability: Delivers consistent performance with a repeatability of +/- 0.005 mm, ideal for electronics assembly and precise medical device manufacturing.
  • Versatile Frame Sizes: Available in multiple sizes—from the ultra-compact GLTH3 to the high-capacity GLTH12—to provide the perfect balance of power and footprint.

Target Industrial Applications

The GLTH series is the strategic choice for industries where space efficiency and reliable linear motion are the primary drivers:

  • Electronics & Circuit Board Assembly: Ideal for surface cleaning devices, piling mechanisms, and high-accuracy component placement.
  • Precision Coating & Dispensing: Enables low-cost, high-efficiency rubberizing and coating operations within compact assembly lines.
  • Glass & Substrate Processing: Provides stable, low-profile motion for synchronous cutting mechanisms and material handling.

Technical Excellence & Benefits

Precision Ball Screw Leads

Flexible lead options (2mm to 24mm) allow for optimized motor pairing based on specific speed and thrust requirements.

Enhanced Load Ratings

High-capacity linear guides ensure stable motion for horizontal payloads up to 110 kg.

Seamless Motor Integration

Designed for easy pairing with AC Servo or Stepper motors, reducing engineering overhead and commissioning time.

Industrial-Grade Reliability

Features a robust construction designed for high-duty cycles with minimal maintenance requirements in demanding environments.
