We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Roller Guides",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Rodless actuator works at 5m/s, strokes to 7.6m from
Inmoco, which we summarised at the time by saying "Modular rodless, belt-driven actuators operate at speeds of upt 5m/s, have stroke lengths of up to 7.6m for load capacities up to 750kg and are easy to integrate".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Compact CNC milling machine is universal from
HK Technologies: "A very compact universal CNC 3-axis milling machine for general machining is being offered at an unrivalled price-performance ratio, selling for under EUR 50,000".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Yamazaki Mazak UK
concerning its 22 CNC machine tools at EMO 2007
- take a look at Large display has 22 CNC machine tools
which says: "One of the largest exhibition stands at the recent EMO 2007 machine tool show was the Yamazak Mazak Corporation one with 22 CNC machine tools on display".
Take a look also at the news release from Yamazaki Mazak UK, HMCs have larger machining platform,
as well as CNC imparts machine tool 'intelligence' from Yamazaki Mazak UK,
and Bar and wire mills - avoiding 'cobbles' from Donix.
