Industries

Our customers use SCHNEEBERGER rolling guides whenever they need to ensure that parts can make delicate, precise and feedback-free movements with little effort. Examples of such usage can be found in the following three industries:

Tool construction and mechanical engineering

To optimally serve our customers according to their needs, we offer an extremely wide range of products: from linear guideways to profile guideways with integrated measuring systems, to machine bases made of mineral casting.

How we use our MONORAIL profile guideways in machine tool construction can be seen in our case study from the machine tool industry.
