The performance boost for machine tools

When it comes to linear motion systems for machine tools, Rollon is a strong partner. The company offers unique development, manufacturing, systems, and application expertise under one roof, implementing tailor-made solutions with the highest levels of performance, process reliability, user-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness.

Linear motion technology for machine tools requires high levels of accuracy, repeatability, and resilience. At the same time, it must be able to operate correctly over long periods of time – often with high cycle times, under critical conditions, and when dealing with liquids, dust, and chips from machining processes, as well as pollutants and corrosive substances. It should also be easy to install and/or replace, require very little maintenance, and ensure 100% process reliability.

Process-reliable solutions for machine tools

As a long-standing partner to the machine tool industry, Rollon understands the industry's requirements inside out and implements suitable components and systems from a single source – from ball screws and profile rail guides to telescopic rails and linear axes. The solutions guarantee high precision, minimize backlash, and ensure smooth movement, high rigidity, and excellent stability to withstand varying loads and forces. This applies, of course, even during continuous operation and high dynamics.

Ball screws and profile rail guides from a single source

For the positioning of the tool table and tool head, a combination of ball screws and profile rail guides is typically used. With the Shuton-Ipiranga and Rosa Sistemi brands, Rollon offers both from a single source. The XP Xtrem Position product family from Shuton-Ipiranga was developed with a special focus on linear movements in machine tools and enables a high cycle rate with absolute reliability. The MG Rail profile rail guide from Rosa Sistemi features hardened and ground raceways with rollers and fully meets the industry's high demands for precision, dynamics, and efficiency – an ideal solution for high-precision positioning.

Broad Product Portfolio of Linear Technology

Rollon also offers additional technologies for fast and precise handling of parts and tools. Machine and lifting doors benefit from the self-aligning linear guides of the Rollon Compact Rail and X-Rail. Thanks to their self-alignment capability, inaccuracies in the mounting surfaces can be compensated for quickly and easily. The telescopic rails of the Telescopic Rail exhibit very little deflection even under maximum load when fully extended – ideal for pull-out elements such as drawers and control panels. Those who want to use their robots and cobots more efficiently can significantly expand their workspace with a Robot Transfer Unit (RTU).

Strong Partner with Extensive System Solution Expertise

Whether machine tables, tool heads, automatic machine doors, loading and unloading systems, drawer slides, door openings, movable control elements, or traversing axes for robots and cobots: Rollon's broad range of products covers a wide variety of machine tool applications and ensures high efficiency and process reliability in metalworking. All solutions are engineered for maximum performance and reliability, ensuring high productivity, optimal product quality, and smooth operation – whether standard products or customized developments.
