Pick-and-Place with Rollon Gantry system. here’s why it’s convenient
Deciding to implement a gantry system or robot for your manufacturing application is not as straightforward as it might seem. To automate a simple but time-consuming and potentially dangerous task on its factory floor, a chipboard company weighed up the benefits of a gantry-actuator system against t...
Belt Driven Actuators (ELM vs. E- SMART)
Belt driven actuators are cost effective options for implementing automated linear motion. They offer distinct advantages over ball-screw, and rack-and-pinion driven actuators and can strike an attractive balance between price and performance. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications a...
Many different linear actuators that people in industrial automation are familiar with provide straight-line motion. Rollon’s Bob Ward, Regional Manager, and Christopher Hirsch, Actuator Product Manager, spoke about the linear electromechanical actuator gaining popularity. Listen to our podcast to l...
A Deep Dive Into The History Of Linear Bearings
On this episode of Line It Up!, a Rollon podcast, Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin talked with Scott Spangler, President of Rollon and Andrew Allendorf, Director of Sales at Rollon. The trio dug into a history of books on the industry to track the timeline, evolution and strategies around the best use of ...
Keep application costs down with the right linear guides
In the scale economy of industrial production, making the right choices during the development of production facilities can lead to considerable savings, greater efficiency and productivity. Let’s take a concrete and real example that shows the kind of savings that can be achieved by making the righ...
Linear rail systems, the best way to combine different features
One of the biggest challenges facing industrial motion system designers is misalignment management. Some rail types, typically those with recirculating balls, require a very high degree of precision in installation and assembly, which often requires extra costs to prepare and adjust the support surf...
Eliminating hidden costs involved in Designing a Machine
When it comes time to choose a linear rail for medium-precision applications, many designers automatically opt for a profiled rail. In doing this, however, they automatically preclude certain types of linear rails which can prove to be much better suited – not to mention less expensive – than the tr...
Linear Rails for protective doors of Machine tools
Introducing a machining centre into a production workflow is often the key to increasing the productivity and efficiency of the process, whilst at the same time ensuring the precision, repeatability and consistent quality of the machined products. However, these are costly solutions which represent ...
Moving protection fences with Rollon Guide
The implementation of safety measures in the production environment, such as barriers, cages and fences, is – if required by the outcome of the risk assessment – mandatory in order to safely integrate automated systems and enjoy the benefit in terms of productivity, efficiency and consistency that a...
Speedy Rail: when technology is a spectacle
In the filming of a soccer match, details are fundamental: the images must ensure that the spectator can see every moment of the game, the players must be followed in their fast movements, in good and bad weather, even in the rain, so that those watching from home do not miss a single emotion. To ac...
Moving overhanging loads with telescopic guides: a Rollon challenge
What is the most challenging thing a telescopic linear guide can be subjected to? Certainly the handling of a overhanging weight: a rather common condition in many production contexts and in some applications. The guide should provide stiffness, no flexing, and smooth movement even at maximum extens...
