Rose+Krieger Linear Motion Modules, Profiles and Clamping equipment can help in 1000’s of different applications. In this article we give an overview of some common applications within industrial and automation areas which you may find useful and which may even prompt you to start designing in straight away.
- Robot Grippers and Cells
- Machine Frames
- Linear Modules
- Assembly Workstations
For Robot Grippers our small linear actuators can often be a worthy alternative to pneumatics. They are electronically controllable using 12-24VDC, include built-in in limit switches, can integrate clamping with a special Rose+Krieger device for clamping like pneumatic so that actuator motors don’t run on stall and potentiometer or encoder feedback.
Our most of our linear unis are available with spindles that have LH-RH spindle, so that a single motor can operate a centralised gripping/width adjustment motion.
Our large scale linear units offer an additional axis of flexibility to whole robot systems, by either mounting robot base to a long X-axis travelling unit, or being used as guides for traversing jigs and fixtures inside and out of robot cells.
Linear units can be integrated with BLOCAN aluminium profiles to give efficient loading/unloading solutions using manual or controlled dynamics. This is stiffer and versatile than standard steel frames and competitor aluminium systems, and remains versatile and reliable module integrated with your overall robotic/automation solution. See picture below example of cell loading other relevant pictures.
For Linear Modules, we offer an extensive range which covers from small 18mm diameter tubular linear adjusters, through 0.5mm ball screw micro adjusters, to heavy load linear units capable of carrying over 1x tonne up to 50m. Our range includes DC, stepper and servo motors with all proper motor to linear unit couplers and motor adaptors. See below for a snapshot of our Linear Range and the following link to drill into more specs and download relevant
pdf datasheets.
For Machine Frames, our profile was developed “for” machines. We have decades of examples of the successful use of our BLOCAN profile in machines and frames. Our joint and fixing methods are dynamically rated and require no drilling or tapping to enable swift assembly and easy re-use/adjustment. Our BLOCAN range is whole and includes all parts necessary to complete entire frame builds without the need to source or ‘fit’ additional components from elsewhere: this includes sliding doors, interlocks, profiles to clamp various thickness infills, feet and castors, clamps and base plates, integration with electronic height adjustable columns, heavy duty profiles, and easy connection to Rose+Krieger Linear Units. See attached for some examples of machine frames and see this link to view other information including video on how our connections work:
The Rose+Krieger Assembly Workstations range uses our extensive range of components within our BLOCAN Profile range. Coupled with the inclusion of Schaefer and other tried and tested desking equipment brands in our standard range, you can create safe and long lasting assembly benches for Lean production, one-off versatility or high repetition assembly. We can assist in the integration of electronic columns into workstations for height adjustment for different staff, or to avoid repetitive work being one at the same height. We have standard configurations, and can also design workstation solutions for you from a broad specification set.

Additional to the above, please see the links in the side panel with special note that our CAD downloads section is able to download files to your specific software type for easy integration into your design process.
I trust that this assists in providing you with an insight in to the versatility and wide reaching capabilities of just a small selection of our range. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email or call me direct.
