Customised rapid sheetmetal prototyping from Ford

While this application doesn't use R+K linear technology, I think it's a great technical development worth sharing to you all.

You never know, it may well be possible to make one of these using R+K units. If you're interested in doing so, give me a call and we'll see what we can come up with.

Kind Regards,

Multi Axis Positioning - RK Linear Modules

Here's a couple of pictures showing some possible configuration of our RK Linear Modules which gives the following overall features:
- Single Z-axis using our SQ MT Linear Modules - these modules have 'carriage mounted' driving, rather than conventional driving from ends of the linear module.
- 3x axis motion over long spans.
- Capability of handling materials and items longer and heavier than what most other standard equipment can handle.
- Integration with our BLOCAN heavy duty profiles for long spans and high loads/rigidity.
- Various configurations using RK transmission shafts and/or gearboxes.
