Bishop-Wisecarver president Pamela Kan was selected by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as a 2018 Women’s Business Enterprise Star. This prestigious award is given annually to only 14 women from across the country based on their contributions to their local communities and respective businesses. As one of the small number of female leaders […]
New bearing from igus assists in quick, easy liner replacement
igus has introduced a new bearing, drylin W Exchange, for its drylin W linear system in which the liner can be replaced directly on the rail without dismantling the system. By using a practical assembly tool, users can push the old liner out of the housing, clip the new one on to the shaft and […]
NB SGL slide guides for precise and rigid support of linear motion
The expanded line of NB SGL slide guides from NB Corp. of America are high-precision linear bearings with low friction and non-stick (and non-slip) mechanisms for smooth linear motion … even under high loads. The SGL Slide Guides are 160 mm to 3,000 mm long. Six types of blocks are available depending on the mounting […]
“New Design” pillow and flange blocks from LM76 allow for easy bearing lubrication
“New Design” pillow blocks and flange blocks from LM76 feature a lubrication fitting and an alignment set screw in the pillow blocks and flange blocks. The stainless steel and self aligning linear bearings are modified by having an alignment flat ground on the bearings’ outer shell and drilling a hole through the outer shell. Lubricants […]

Long-stroke robotic RTU applications pose new challenges for cable carriers
New applications for mechanical devices present unique requirements. Consider the exceptionally challenging application for cable management in robot-transfer units (RTUs) and linear tool-tray transfer systems. RTUs are long tracks to carry robots between workstations. As an inverse solution, linear tool-tray transfer systems move workpieces past a stationary robot for various material handling or fabricating tasks. […]
Bishop-Wisecarver reaffirms commitment to STEM with another year of Diamond-level and local sponsorship of the FIRST Robotics Competition
Designer and manufacturer of proven motion setups Bishop-Wisecarver today announced its ongoing support of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education by being a Diamond Supplier of the 2018 FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. “Our job at FIRST is to develop the next generation of problem solvers who need […]
Linear Motion Trends: Consumer health-monitoring devices and more driving innovation
Growth of consumer health-monitoring devices is prompting new uses of linear-motion designs. Just consider two prototypes shown at the recent CES 2018 by THK America Inc. (with THK Co. Ltd.) that demonstrate new uses for linear slides and guides. One is a humanoid robot called the ATMOS Sensoroid that monitors its environment (to replicate what […]
New Polygon Ball Guide (PBG) from Samick Precision Industry
The Samick PBG is a compact linear motion bearing that has a polygonal structure. This compact linear motion bearing is optimized to be used as a guide for transporting precision components such as small measuring instruments, semiconductors, LED chip sorters, and small size lens sorters. Features of the Samick PBG include: High precision, high rigidity, […]
