Linear Units for all applications – from delicate to heavy duty In automated systems, multiple worksteps are often carried out along a line. A Linear Unit is used to move either the workpiece to be processed or the tool – such as a robot – along this line so that screwing, drilling or joining can be carried out. Many different requirements are placed on this kind of solution, which may have to transport heavy loads or position itself with accuracy measured down to a fraction of a millimetre. Depending on the production process, it may be important for the solution to be resistant to soiling. The benefits of the item Automation System: 1) The particularly rigid linear guides deliver a high load-carrying capacity that can be increased further using elements from the MB Building Kit System. 2) The length of the linear axis is not limited by the length of a single profile. Many models allow users to extend the travel distance with almost no transitions. 3) The mounting arrangement of the Linear Unit can be selected to suit the task at hand because the stable guides also support angled and suspended applications. 4) Thanks to the large selection of linear drives, you can optimise your Linear Unit for any task and working environment.
