1. What is the advantage of the PEX-DS compared to a mono pedestal?

The PEX-DS can accommodate two system columns in parallel, whereas a mono pedestal supports only one column. This enables more stable and rigid structures, making it particularly suitable for applications that require precise alignment and repeatable setups, such as portals, guides, or measurement assemblies.

2. In which variants is the PEX-DS available?

The PEX-DS is made of anodized aluminum and is available in several color variants, allowing it to be visually matched to existing systems. For use in ESD protection zones, a conductive version with SurTec 650® is also available, meeting IEC requirements and providing additional protection.

3. Can the PEX-DS also be customized?

Yes, this is possible. Upon request, we can also manufacture the pedestal in custom versions, for example with special hole patterns, in alternative colors, or with different surface finishes, allowing it to be perfectly adapted to your individual requirements.

4. How does the PEX-DS support precise alignment of the columns?

The pedestal features two precisely machined bores that ensure the columns stand in parallel and can be mounted in exactly the same position every time. This allows components and fixtures to be aligned with lasting precision.

5. Can the PEX-DS be combined directly with uversa columns?

Yes, the PEX-DS is fully compatible with the uversa system. It provides a stable base for the vertical mounting of system columns and can be combined with additional modules such as holders or extension elements.

6. Which uversa modules can the PEX-DS be combined with directly?

The PEX-DS fits directly with the EVO-KM12 and VARO-JM12 modules. Together, they allow you to implement clamping or adjustment functions in the XY range based on a two-column setup.

7. For which applications is the PEX-DS particularly suitable?

The pedestal is frequently used in fixture construction, assembly and testing systems, and special-purpose machinery. It is the ideal choice wherever two stable and parallel columns are required. Typical examples include gantries, mounts for sensors or cameras, and test nests.

8. How is the PEX-DS mounted?

You fasten the pedestal to the base plate or work surface using the mounting holes. In addition, H7 fits are provided to ensure that the duo pedestal can be mounted in an exact, repeatable position.
