Industry Applications
Linear motion components matched to specific operating conditions — load, speed, stroke, accuracy grade, and environmental constraints. Serving 8 major industries worldwide.
Semiconductor Manufacturing
C3+ accuracy, low-particle-emission seals. THK and Schneeberger miniature guides for wafer handling, lithography stages, and die bonders. Cleanroom Class 100 compatible configurations available.
Optical Inspection & Metrology
Smooth-running, micro-vibration-suppressed stages. NSK and THK C0–C3 grade ball screws with precision support bearings for interferometric alignment and optical measurement systems.
CNC Machine Tools
C3–C5 preloaded ball screws, high-rigidity roller guides. Bosch Rexroth for heavy cutting operations; HIWIN/PMI for general machining centers and multi-axis milling.
3C & Consumer Electronics
High-speed pick & place modules. Cost-efficient HIWIN and TBI MOTION guides for smartphone assembly, PCB handling, and display lamination lines. Cycle times below 0.5 seconds.
Lithium Battery & Solar
Long-stroke C5 linear guides with high-corrosion-resistant coatings. HIWIN and PMI dominate solar cell and battery module assembly lines with stroke lengths exceeding 3 meters.
Medical & Cleanroom
Self-lubricating, maintenance-free TBI MOTION ball screws and Schneeberger miniature guides for surgical robots, diagnostic imaging, MRI-compatible stages, and pharmaceutical automation.
Wind Power & Heavy Machinery
Bosch Rexroth high-load roller rail systems and Schaeffler INA needle roller guides for pitch control mechanisms, yaw drives, and large-scale material handling systems.
Food & Beverage Processing
TBI MOTION food-grade ball screws with NSF H1 registered lubricants. Stainless steel linear guides rated for IP67 washdown environments and daily sanitation cycles.
