Labelling of industrial products

Marking industrial products requires some skill. Östling Marking Systems GmbH has developed an application that is an all-in-one laser station for marking products from various industrial sectors. The sliding door on the laser station can be operated manually and is used to quickly insert and remove workpieces. It has a compact design and must be tight and easy to move. Accordingly, the bearing must fit into a small installation space and should be telescopic. The customer also wanted lightweight, quiet and inexpensive components for his application. To test the installed parts, a prototype option was requested.

Various igus® components have proven their worth in solving the corresponding requirements. No alternatives were considered and the decision in favour of igus® was an obvious one. Two drylin® W telescopic guides were installed for the up and down movement of the sliding door. A counterweight is used internally via a deflection pulley, which is mounted in a drylin® W guide. The dryspin® threaded spindles ensure uncomplicated adjustment of the work surface in the SLW spindle linear units. The co-operation with a sales representative worked perfectly: Discussion of the situation, interpretation of the possibilities and development of suitable solutions. Samples were provided for prototypes.
