Rollon Explains the importance of adding a Robot Transfer Unit to Your System to unlock Your Robot’s Full Mobility

As manufacturing becomes more automated, six-axis robots are gaining popularity on the factory floor. Increasingly, multiple six-axis robots perform consecutive operations on the same assembly line. In these applications, adding a seven-axis linear actuator — also known as a robot transfer unit (RTU) — can boost your productivity, efficiency and cost savings.

New Telescoping Rail Family From Rollon Solves Many Challenges in Automated Systems

Automated systems rely on linear guides to provide telescopic motion or extract moving parts — often in a vertical configuration. It can be difficult to find a guide that performs these functions, withstands high dynamics and shifting work cycles, and also offers flexibility regarding stroke needs, load sizes and orientation.

Select the Right Bearing by Understanding Axial Versus Radial Loads

One of the more difficult aspects of evaluating and specifying linear motion products is figuring out the difference between axial and radial load ratings. Because axial load ratings are typically much lower than radial load ratings, it’s important to understand the characteristics of both types of loads so you can compare the ratings with confidence.

Telescopic Rail Reduces Engineering and Assembly Effort for Tool Cart Maker

To move a cantilevered load, only the strongest slides will do. Not only must they support the load, but the motion must also be smooth and precise. These can be difficult criteria to meet for bearings used in carts that contain web handling equipment. A single drawer holds hundreds of pounds of gear and will overhang when open. Supporting a heavy, cantilevered load requires an exceptional bearing.
