Profiled rail + rack & pinion = integrated solution
Profiled linear guides are typically used in conjunction with a drive system, such as a belt or ball screw, to provide rigid, accurate motion. When the specification calls for extremely long travel and high thrust force, the drive mechanism of choice is commonly a rack & pinion system. Fortunately for design engineers and machine builders, several […]
MINIRAIL & MINISCALE delivers fast, accurate production process
Schneeberger (www.schneeberger.com) has introduced a miniature guideway that features an ultra-high-precision integral, optical distance measuring system. Ideal for space-constricted environments, the MINISCALE is economical to use as it helps achieve more accurate and faster production process. Enabling compact designs, the microscopy scanning stage is almost five times lighter than traditional designs. Meanwhile, the company’s MINIRAIL […]
