Linear Motion for Printing, Scanning, and Etching

PBC Linear provides cost effective linear motion solutions to the printing, scanning, and etching industries. For smooth and quiet function, without the need for grease, turn to Simplicity® plain bearings and steel shafting. The SIMO® Series Linear Motion Platform is a pre-assembled system that reduces set-up time and requires little maintenance - while the choice of bearing and drive mechanism ensures that specific application requirements are met. Integral V Technology's hardened steel raceway and high performance v-wheels are highly repeatable, making IVT an optimal choice in inkjet printing, label printing, and the 3D printing space.

  • Oil-free linear motion components ensure long-lasting operation for digital print and imaging system tasks.
  • Precision machined linear slides facilitate smooth travel, velocity control and accurate alignment.
  • Drop-in motion control systems provide high performance travel in digital imaging, 3D scanner and printer applications.
  • Proven experience with top imaging system manufacturers.
  • Dedicated linear motion application engineers ready to work in full design collaboration for integrated mechatronic solutions.

In fact, PBC Linear motion and mechatronic solutions are featured in a Design World article entitled “5 Considerations for Scanning, Printing, and Subtractive Machining Design”. Understanding the differences between guide rails, bearings, power transmission, electronics, and creating a manufacturable design are key in producing the quality output the market demands.
