Linear Motion Systems for Printing, Scanning, and Etching

Ideal linear motion systems enable smooth, high-velocity horizontal movements to minimize scanner artifacts in the printing, scanning, and etching industries. Our linear actuators and guides include Simplicity® plain bearings with steel shafting for quiet, grease-free operation and the SIMO® Series Linear Motion Platform offering low-maintenance, customizable setups. Integral V Technology linear guides include a hardened steel raceway with high-performance v-wheels, ensuring repeatability and durability for 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.

Our linear guides and linear actuators 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.
