3 The Guideline Concept GDL ALUMINUM ROLLER GUIDES: LIGHT, SMOOTH AND FAST Aluminum roller guides in a cutting machine for spectacle lenses. Both the work piece carriers and the motorized X - Y table axis are equipped with roller guides. The smooth operation and precision of the equipment ensures a fine cutting action. Aluminum roller guides in an automatic vibrator for flattening printed sheets of paper. To guarantee even pressure on the sheets of paper, the roller bridge is supported by precision roller guides.

Various fittings and limit stops for stacking are moved on two axes horizontally and vertically. The robustness and reliability of the roller guides allows for continuous operation under high load conditions. (Solms company photo) 2

4 The Guideline System GDL LINEAR GUIDES OFFER A VARIETY OF SERIES AND OPTIONS HIGH PERFORMANCE... SMOOTH GUIDANCE Aluminum roller guides provide smooth operation and high load carrying capacity for industrial automation. By the use of lightweight aluminum components the moving masses are minimized, travel speeds are increased and actuation energy is saved. Aluminum roller guides are designed to carry medium weight loads economically. Their smooth action and speeds up to 10 m/s make them ideal for widespread use in many areas of application. Aside from a main featured High Performance guide, others such as the Standard, Corrosion Resistant, High Dynamics and Grease-free versions are also available. Aluminum roller guides are available in sizes 12, 15, 20, 25, 35 and 45mm. Rail lengths are from 200 mm to 4000 mm. For longer travel lengths, guide rails can be butt-jointed together. Custom solid rail lengths, up to 6000mm are also available upon request. Custom length cassettes and roller shoes can also be provided for order quantities of 100 pcs. or greater. Catalog available on CD-ROM or paper hardcopy. CAD drawings are available free of charge in DWG and DXF formats. Rollers arranged crosswise to handle loading from any direction High Performance Rollers on needle bearings for smooth operation at speeds up to 10 m/s. Acceleration/ deceleration up to 40 m/s 2. Precision polished and calibrated guideways Rail profiles and roller cassettes made of anodized aluminum Axial needle roller bearings of High Performance roller cassette. 3

5 Application Examples of GDL Linear Guides Aluminum roller guides are available in several varieties providing a solution that suits your application best. Due to the modular design of the guide components, the varieties shown here can be combined. For serious demand of 100 pcs or more, customized cassettes are possible. All product series are supplied as double sided rails with cassettes as well as in the single sided rail type with roller shoes. Provisioning unit for medical equipment. The GDL aluminum roller guide produces easy and silent displacement. Take down pusher in a packing machine for mattresses. The rolled mattresses are pressed out of the drum with a pressure of 1.5 t. Aluminum roller guides provide the precise movement of the pusher. Embroidery machine automated with movable embroidery frames. The aluminum roller guide moves in short strokes with high frequency, thus allowing detailed embroidery patterns. 4
