KOSMEK FAQs Icon

A conventional Zero-Point System holds the workpiece stable in two axes (X, Y), but slight movement can still occur due to manufacturing tolerances. KOSMEK’s Zero-Backlash Technology eliminates this movement completely, ensuring absolute stability in all three axes (X, Y, and Z).

By removing manufacturing tolerances with its patented Zero-Backlash mechanism, KOSMEK achieves full mechanical contact and unmatched positioning accuracy.

A precision sleeve with taper moves in all directions to achieve complete surface contact with no gap between components.

Even after 2 million cycles, the system maintains a locating repeatability of 3 µm, regardless of the number of hands per robot or wear over time. This results in an exceptionally rigid, backlash-free connection for maximum precision in robotic and high-accuracy machining applications.
