The company’s focus at the trade show will be on high-performance ball screws of the Shuton-Ipiranga brand, as well as roller guides from Rosa Sistemi. The full-range supplier will also exhibit linear guide rails, telescopic slides and actuators.

Rollon is among the world’s leading suppliers of linear motion solutions and offers unique development, production, system, and application expertise from a single source. Whether for machine tables, tool heads, automatic machine doors, loading and unloading systems, pull-out drawers, door openings, movable control elements, or traversing axes for robots and cobots: The diverse products are designed for numerous machine tool applications, where they ensure a high level of efficiency and process reliability in metal working.

Visitors to the Rollon-Shuton-Ipiranga booth 2C40 in Hall 2 at AMB can explore the extensive product range and discover the advantages for their particular application. The focus will be on high-performance ball screws from Shuton-Ipiranga as well as profile rails from Rosa Sistemi.

Precision ball screws from Shuton-Ipiranga

Shuton-Ipiranga, known for their high-precision ball screws, is a key player in machine tool construction. The XP Xtrem Position product family was developed with special emphasis on linear motions in machine tools and features exceptional rigidity, dynamics and positioning accuracy. Available in two versions – COMPLEX and PRIME – the products ensure a long service life and absolute reliability. The COMPLEX series – designed for high speeds and heavy loads – is used for example in five-axis machining centers, multi-spindle machines and mold processing machines. The PRIME series comprises high-precision ball screws with a small pitch for medium-speed applications, such as grinders or EDM machines.

For applications requiring heavy-duty actuators, such as injection molding, the energy sector, lifting systems, and presses, the XL Xtrem Load product family is the top choice. The ball screws have been optimized for heavy-duty applications to guarantee maximum load-bearing capacity, dynamics, and efficiency. Three types – IML, HDL and PKL – are available for achieving an optimal service life under different load ratings and speed requirements.

Roller guides from Rosa Sistemi

Within the Rollon Group, Rosa Sistemi specializes in profile rails, such as the MG Rail as the perfect answer to the increasing technological challenges of the machine tool sector. The roller guide features hardened and ground running surfaces with rollers to meet the typically stringent requirements for precision, dynamics, and efficiency with no compromises. Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, outstanding rigidity, an innovative lubrication and seal concept, as well as their high reliability even in dirty environments, the MG Rail is the ideal solution for high-precision positioning.

Broad application spectrum

Rollon also offers other technologies for the fast and precise handling of parts and tools. Machine doors and vertically opening doors benefit from the self-aligning linear guide rails of the Rollon Compact Rail and X-Rail series. Their self-aligning capability allows fast and easy compensation of inaccuracies in the mounting surfaces. The telescopic slides of the Telescopic Rail series exhibit only minimal deflection even when fully extended under maximum loads, which makes them ideal for pull-out elements such as drawers and control panels. To increase the efficiency of robots and cobots, the work area can be expanded significantly with a Robot Transfer Unit (RTU).

Linear technology for machine tools

No matter what type of machine tool application: Based on an extensive product range and a high level of system solution competence, Rollon offers suitable components and systems – from ball screws to roller guides and linear technology – from a single source, All the solutions have been developed for maximum performance and reliability to ensure high productivity, optimal product quality and trouble-free operation – whether the requirement is for a standard product or a custom development.
