‘Linear Guide’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Vision selects Heidenhain linear encoders and DROs from Heidenhain, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vision Engineering has utilised glass scale linear encoders and Quadra-Chek Metrology DROs from Heidenhain in its optical inspection, manipulation and measurement equipment.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Parts packages protect equipment investments from Caljan Rite-Hite: "Caljan Rite-Hite has launched Lifetrack flexible parts packages, designed to protect material-handling equipment investments by offering spare parts, after-market products, service and training.".
 
In September 2010, we covered the news from Tregaskiss Welding Products - take a look at Quick Load Liners standard on robotic MIG guns which says: "Tregaskiss has announced that its Quick Load Liners are now standard - free of charge - on all Tough Gun air-cooled robotic MIG guns for welding applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Hepcomotion, Hepcomotion rings used in car door sealing system, as well as Infrared cameras prevent energy loss in buildings from Flir Systems, and Insertion press ensures correct use of fasteners from Shear-Form Machine Tools.
