Linear Guide System - Important Part of Metalworking Machine

The linear guide system is one of the most important parts of the CNC press brake machine, hydraulic shearing machine, and fiber laser metal cutting machine. Our machines use the Hiwin linear guide and ball screw. We have cooperated with the Hiwin company for many years. HIWIN Technologies Corp. Founded in 1989 is professionally design/development, manufacturing of ballscrews, linear guideways, industrial robots, rolling bearings, and medical treatment equipment products.

The linear guide system is the most important part of the CNC cutting machine. It is a tool for linear reciprocating motion. The tool has a higher load rating than previous linear bearings, and can also bear a certain load. Torque can also achieve high-precision linear movement under high load conditions so that the equipment runs smoothly and accurately. The linear guide rail system and spool are some of the core parts of the NC cutting machine. Its function is guidance and support. In order to ensure the high machining accuracy of CNC cutting machine, guide rail and straight lines are required to have high guiding accuracy and good motion stability. The linear guide is combined with the ball by precise machining procedure. Its speed of movement is fast, the friction coefficient is small, the sensitivity is high. Moreover, it can satisfy the movement part work request. How the rolling body contacts with the track surface is one of the main factors that directly affect the performance of the system.

Advantages of the linear guide rail system

1. The general assembly of simple accessories

At present, linear guide rail system products have become large-scale, standardized accessories, not only convenient for customers to choose but in the assembly also appears to be very convenient. Of course, the interchangeable performance is also cannot ignore. For the sliding block and guide, everyone can separate find suppliers. Even if in the future after the use of happened in the process of wear and tear, consumers can also repair these machines through other suppliers' parts processing. Therefore, good interchangeability can be convenient for consumers.

2. Low cost and good efficiency

The internal structure of the linear guide is simple and can be produced in large quantities. Because of the characteristics of lightweight, corrosion resistance, and interchangeability, the linear guide rail system can be applied to all kinds of CNC mechanical equipment on the transmission components. In addition, cost control has a good competitive advantage in price.

3. Low noise when running at high speed

Nowadays, ball type technology has been basically adopted for linear guide rail system. What is used in the market is double-axis high-speed linear guide rail inlaid with double-row bearings. In this way, the bearings will be completely driven, and the running speed will not be reduced due to the ball cycle. Use this technique to get the maximum circular motion, greatly reducing the noise!

4. Wear resistance

The high-speed linear guide rail uses high carbon chromium bearing steel. After heat treatment and density grinding, the surface hardness can reach more than 70HRC, which can effectively extend the life of the linear guide rail system.

Maintenance of the linear guide rail system

In the daily maintenance, we also need to pay attention to the maintenance of the CNC cutting machine linear guide system, in order to ensure the good operation of the equipment. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Unplug the main power supply of the CNC cutting machine and press the switch of the CNC cutting machine several times to release static electricity.

2. Remove the guide rail of the CNC cutting machine. Carefully clean the grease and accumulated waste on the surface of the rails with a rag.

3. Apply a little grease on the surface of the linear guide rail with your fingers, and select the groove first.

4. Put a few drops of lubricating oil on the linear guide, and then move the linear guide back and forth many times to ensure that the overall lubricating oil of the guide is everywhere.

5. Install the linear guide rail system. Then turn on the main power supply of the CNC cutting machine and press the switch of the CNC cutting machine.
