V-Rail Linear Guides of the Integral V (IVT) Series have a precision machined anodized aluminum rail with hardened embedded steel raceways, eliminating mounting components and cutting assembly time in half. It features:
- low profiles
- compact design
- fewer components (2) which require less cost and assembly time
IVT outshines the old, competitor technology in multiple instances:
| IVT Technology | Competitor Technology (PRT) |
|---|---|
| Integrated rail for less cost | Multiple fasteners |
| Shorter installation time | Assembly time and skilled labor |
| Tight tolerances | Wider tolerances |
| Lightweight construction | Heavy weight and complex |
| Multiple configurations | Basic rail and carriage |
In addition, multiple profiles include:
- compact
- bolt-on
- customizable extrusions and finishes
CNC applications
A perfect example of CNC application is the CNC foam cutter, where IVT provides:
- smooth multi-axes guidance
- reliable handling of offset loads
- made-to-order work envelopes
- wheel covers for smooth guidance in dirty environments
Other CNC applications include:
- routing
- water-jet cutting
- plasma cutting
- milling
- engraving
Ideal Industry applications include:
- patient assisted medical equipment
- multi-axis gantries
- architectural solutions
- ergonomics for industrial tools
- large format material handling
