Facing ongoing competitive pressures and market growth demands, life science and biomedical OEMs must constantly deliver new advancements in technology, processes, workflows, and production. But in addition to pursuing improvements that focus on expanding success, OEMs must also ensure against the in-use failures of their advanced equipment. In the case of advanced instruments utilized in research, scientific, medical, and other critical applications, neglecting improvements and safeguards in one seemingly minor component — in-process linear motion systems — can generate consequences ranging from inconvenient to catastrophic. A new white paper details how next-generation linear motion systems can be specified, designed, installed, and maintained to advance life science and biomedical capital equipment manufacturing — and ensure against failures of any consequence. This new white paper highlights how next-generation linear motion systems can be specified, designed, installed, and…

SCHNEEBERGER AG Linear Technik and its employees would like to make a contribution on the occasion of today's Swiss Solidarity Day "Glueckskette" . In doing so, we are supporting both the Ukrainian population remaining in the country and the large number of refugees. All voluntary donations made by our employees on glueckskette.ch will be doubled by SCHNEEBERGER AG Lineartechnik. Thus, we jointly set a sign for our hope for an early peaceful resolution of the conflict and an alleviation of the suffering of the affected population.

SCHNEEBERGER currently sees no direct impact with regards to the Ukraine-Russia crisis on the supply chain and the associated delivery dates of our products. Our supply chains are not currently affected by suppliers in any of the existing areas directly impacted by this crisis. Should there be any logistical interruptions, you will be notified in a timely manner as we know how critical it is to keep our customers well informed should a change occur.

A design engineer at a dental OEM was handed a challenging assignment: Develop the industry’s first handheld intraoral scanner to perform 3D imaging for dental impressions in the dentist’s office. The problem: The scanner’s small size required a miniaturized linear motion and measurement system that was not available on the market. The question facing the designer: develop a new linear motion and measurement system internally — or seek a supplier to customize its product to meet the scanner’s challenging specifications. The issue haunts design engineers daily across medical, dental, and life science OEMs as their development teams face excruciating pressure to make their products smaller, lighter, and more accurate. Explore the solution in this new application brief. Download the technical Brief

Designing and manufacturing medical and life sciences devices is always a challenge. Linear motion components with the required form, fit, and function are often vital parts of these devices. But if you can’t find the right component off the shelf, there’s often a better way. Don’t let fears about attempting a special order prevent you from finding a perfect fit, expert design, reasonable lead times, ensured quality, and surprisingly low costs. This report examines linear motion customization issues, how to work with a supplier that’s willing to customize — and what advantages customization can bring. Properly specified, customizing your linear motion components and systems can improve the design process, the performance, and the total cost of ownership of  your medical or life sciences equipment.

The new SCHNEEBERGER ball screws (SBS) are impressive due to their precision and efficiency, which the ground and hardened ball contact surfaces are primarily responsible for. The SBS are therefore equally suitable for use at high and low speeds as well as oscillating short stroke movements. This makes them particularly attractive for demanding applications in machine tools as well as measuring and testing technology. More

When space constraints and performance are required for distance measurement, MONORAIL AMS is the answer. SCHNEEBERGER integrates a measuring head and scale onto its MONORAIL profiled linear guideways. In brief: Integrated AMS distance measuring systems from SCHNEEBERGER are machine-compatible with integrated distance measuring systems in ready-to-install quality, suitable for a wide range of applications in mechanical engineering and automation. MONORAIL carriages are equipped as standard with twin-lipped cross wipers on the ends and top and bottom longitudinal wipers. Together with additional sealing of the gaps between the front plate and the steel body, these provide an exceptionally efficient sealing system. The ingress of dirt is therefore effectively prevented and lubrication losses are reduced to a minimum, which results in a significant increase in service life. The maximum one-piece profile rail length for all AMS distance measuring systems is 6 meters. For the analog…
