1. Why Packaging Lines Are a Great Fit for Linear Modules Packaging lines share a few characteristics that motion engineers love: Instead of designing custom cam mechanisms for every SKU, you can use: […]
1. Why Semiconductor and Inspection Push Motion So Hard These applications are brutal on motion platforms: In practice, that means your stage must: A traditional ball screw drive on a stiff lm guide / […]
1. Clean, Quiet, Contained: Environment Is Non-Negotiable Many factories are dusty, oily, noisy. Medical environments are almost the opposite: That’s why you see so many cleanroom linear modules and f […]
1. Why PV and Energy Storage Are Different from “Normal” Automation A linear module for automation in a 3C factory moves small products over short strokes in relatively clean conditions. On a PV or en […]
1. 3C Lines Are Not Clean Rooms — They’re “Fine Dust Factories” From the outside, 3C plants look modern and tidy. Inside the machines, the reality is: An open module with exposed ball screw and linear […]
1. Start with Motion and Environment, Not Price Before you ask for linear module price, you need a real spec, not “600 mm stroke, best price please”. Write one sentence per axis: “Move ___ kg over ___ […]
1. Start with Motion, Not with Catalog Pages Before you pick a single model, write one clear sentence for your system: “Move a ___ kg payload within ___ × ___ mm in X/Y and ___ mm in Z, in ___ seconds […]
1. Start by Choosing Your “Primary Mission” Before you open a catalog or call a supplier, answer two brutally honest questions: Put differently, every axis is usually one of these: You rarely get all […]
