PBC Linear is pleased to announce
several newly developed, customized accessories for its widely
successful and highly applicable Uni-Guide linear slide. Providing an
economical solution to material handling and feeding, these new powered
and un-powered vices offer precise linear motion founded upon PBC
Linear’s ingenuity and their proven, long-lasting Simplicity®
technology. With its simple, two piece assembly, the Uni-Guide design
allows for drop-in installation that is easily customized into these
newly available vices that are perfectly suited for the woodworking
industry.
Outfitted with the same FrelonGOLD® liner
as the Simplicty linear bearing, the Uni-Guide is fully capable of
withstanding a multitude of environmental obstacles that cause
conventional linear guide systems to seize up and fail. Dirt, dust,
wooden or metal chips, fluids, and any other contaminants all DO NOT
effect the performance of the Uni-Guide. Extreme temperatures and shock
vibration also do not interfere with the system’s overall performance.
With no added grease or oil necessary, the self-lubricating Uni-Guide
provides reliable precision linear motion throughtout the entire life of
the product.
Completely customizable, the Uni-Guide has
several newly available modular positioning accessories. The power feed
system simply bolts onto a self-centering Uni-Guide platform allowing
for the fast and accurate feeding of material. Backed by a heavy duty
motor and gearbox, the Uni-Guide power feeder employs high power and
precision linear motion in an easy to install system.
For un-powered applications,
low cost holding modules function to creat adjustable vices that can
handle material ranging from 12mm up to 2.5 meters. With several
different locking mechanisms available, ratchet-pinion, angle lock,
modular clamp, the vices ensure positive grip; which prevents shifting
of production material—such as wood—during machining. These systems also
come available with optional air or hydraulic cylinders to facilicate
fast loading and unloading of product materials.
