The Zimmer DVR1000 rotary distributor series enables reliable media and signal transfer in robotic automation. It supports continuous rotation while eliminating cable strain and hose wear.

It delivers consistent performance under dynamic conditions. As a result, manufacturers can improve uptime and reduce maintenance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Rotary distributor with integrated slip ring for data and power transfer
• Industrial Ethernet support for reliable communication up to 100 Mbit/s
• Up to 8 integrated air feed-through channels for pneumatic transfer
• Electrical energy transfer with multi-pole connections
• Compact and flat design to reduce robot load and torque
• Double bearing system for high stiffness and improved cycle performance
• Continuous rotation without cable twisting or hose interference
• Operating pressure up to 10 bar for pneumatic applications
• High repeatability with low radial and axial runout (±0.05 mm)
• Designed for industrial robotics, EOAT, and automated tool systems

When launching a new rotary distributor or end-of-arm tooling project, In-Position Technologies engineers take a consultative approach. First, they review application requirements. They assess media transfer and signal needs. This helps determine the best configuration. Next, the team evaluates the system workflow. This ensures smooth integration with the robot.

Their evaluations include:

• Required media transfer (air, electrical, data communication)
• Rotation speed and cycle requirements
• Payload and mounting constraints
• Cable and hose management considerations

Finally, customers may deploy the Zimmer DVR1000 rotary distributor series as part of a complete automation solution. In that case, IP Tech engineers help optimize the system.

• They select the correct rotary distributor size and configuration
• They ensure compatibility with robots and tooling systems
• They verify performance based on application requirements
• They support installation, setup, and long-term operation
