The carriages or slides utilized to provide highly accurate translational motion for determining machines or optical quality machine tools present unique challenges to design engineers. All decisions ...

Axis errors rob machine tools of the necessary accuracy for the jobs to be run. Luckily, though, two common position-measuring systems prevent this from happening. However, deciding which one should ...

PZT motors make possible an innovative way of digitizing slides of medical specimens. Pathologists need no longer squint through a microscope eyepiece to scrutinize tissue samples thanks to a cleverly ...

Linear roller guides offer several performance benefits in high-static or high-dynamic load situations. When machine tools encounter high-static or dynamic loads, linear motion roller guides offer ...

With twice the thrust of a single-bore cylinder, the STP linear motion slide series have internal and external shock pads to eliminate metal-to-metal contact. With twice the thrust of a single-bore ...
