In fast-paced industrial environments, automation demands more than just performance, it requires adaptability, speed, and reliability. That’s why Rollon developed a Modular RTU (Robot Transfer Unit) system designed with engineers in mind. Built for heavy loads, engineered for precision, and modular by design, this system delivers world-class performance in as little as 4 to 6 weeks—from our facility in Michigan.
Modular Design: Made to Evolve with You
Projects shift. Layouts change. Operations expand. With Rollon’s modular system, you don’t need to start over.
Our universal machined ends make it easy to extend or reconfigure your system, even after installation. If your project scope changes during commissioning, or your production lines need expansion later, our modular base structure allows seamless field extensions with minimal disruption.
This kind of flexibility empowers engineers to adapt to changing requirements while preserving their original investment.
Steel Structure for Superior Strength
At the core of Rollon’s Modular RTU is a high-stiffness steel design capable of supporting the most demanding automation systems. Whether you’re managing large robotic arms or moving high payloads across long distances, the steel construction ensures maximum rigidity and load capacity with minimal deflection.
Integrated linear guides reinforce structural strength while delivering smooth, accurate, and repeatable motion over time—essential for high-duty-cycle environments.
Precision Motion with Helical Rack & Pinion
Our drive system pairs a helical rack and pinion with a high-accuracy planetary gearbox, delivering a winning combination of speed, torque, and precision.
Before shipping, Rollon technicians locate the “high spot” of the rack for optimal performance, ensuring every move is smooth, consistent, and accurate from day one.
This motion system allows for:
- High-speed travel
- Heavy-load capability
- Accurate positioning—repeatable over long lifecycles
Together with rigid linear guides and end-of-travel bump stops, it’s a solution built not just for performance, but for long-term reliability.
Built for Safety and Longevity
Rollon’s Modular RTU system includes features designed to reduce risk and extend system life:
- Integrated cable carrier (mounted to the unit or alongside it) for easy routing
- Safety bump stops at each end of travel
- Leveling system with 1.5” of vertical adjustment, allowing secure anchoring through the leveler
- Lifetime projections for both linear guides and gearboxes, supporting preventive maintenance planning
Made in Michigan. Delivered in 4–6 Weeks.
Unlike many systems with 12+ week lead times, Rollon’s Modular RTU is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the U.S., allowing most standard floor-mounted systems to ship within 4 to 6 weeks.
This drastically shortens project timelines and offers peace of mind for integrators and plant managers working under pressure.
