Four cases a minute, 24 hours a day
- One packaging equipment company uses maintenance-free CHTK® W linear guides in a custom packaging machine that boxes up four cases of plastic bottles per minute, 24 hours a day. The linear guides replace standard slotted brackets and act as a vertical guide for the machine’s grabbing device.
- The company also uses CHTK® W linear guides on a pneumatic arm in a pick-and-place mechanism used to package toner cartridges. They were integrated due to their resistance to the acidic toner and low maintenance requirements.
- Cost savings include both the initial purchasing cost and reduced maintenance costs: No lubrication is required for the linear systems.
