Motion Control Features

Choosing linear motion technology for high precision applications

When manufacturing processes require high precision, high-speed repeatability and flexibility for applications such as CNC, robotics and material handling, production engineers often specify linear motion technologies.

Linear motion: selecting the best solution for your needs

The need to increase productivity and reduce downtime is a key focus for manufacturers. However, when it comes to selecting linear actuators for motion applications, some confusion remains on whether an electric or pneumatic solution is most suitable.

A perfect connection: Revolutionary technology meets robust engineering

In early 2015 an East German StartUp, AIM3D set out to revolutionise the 3D printing world by creating a 3D printing machine that would offer the potential to eventually become a standard tool on every workbench. One unexpected challenge in this quest was finding a suitable provider of a high-quality linear guidance system that would fit their needs.

Efficiency and performance in harsh environments

ANCA Motion’s LinX range of tubular linear motors has features that match a vast range of automation applications. This includes packaging, food and beverage manufacturing, printing, pharmaceutical, rollforming, textile production, and test and measurement.
