2016 trends in linear motion design

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Technology improvements continue in linear motion design, with packaging and medical leading the charge this year. In fact, the biggest trend has been more reliance on flexible machine designs, which require that machine axes constructed for one purpose easily reprogram for others. “Flexible machine designs—ones that engineers can reconstitute for multiple functions—are what machine builders want […]

2015 linear-motion trends: What to know about pre-engineered setups

★ By Lisa Eitel 1 Comment

1-Rollon-palletizing-linear-motion

Technology improvements continue to elevate the performance of linear-motion setups. When we asked industry experts about this trend, all identified the same driving markets—packaging and medical—but different technologies to satisfy new design challenges. Case in point: Jeremy Miller, product manager for linear mechanics at the Electromechanical Div. of Parker Hannifin, said tubular linear motors lead innovation. […]
