Application Story - Reliance Precision Mechatronics and Fujifilm Electronic Imaging
 Round Rack from Reliance Gives Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Ltd. Engineers One-stop Accuracy and Compactness When engineers at Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Ltd. were developing an A3 low cost scanner they had three specific design requirements. The drive for the scanner and focus mechanisms had to offer: Excellent repeatability - without jitter - in a very compact space envelope Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Ltd. engineers had achieved success on previous scanner designs using a linear actuation system comprising a high precision rack and a separate linear ball track, but space was so constrained in the new scanner that this option was no longer open to them. Engineers at Reliance had no hesitation in recommending a suitable alternative solution. A component which not only took care of both the bearing and actuation functions in one fell swoop, but also, because of its unusual design, one which could accommodate slight misalignments in the system with no loss of image quality. This unusual component is Reliance round rack, a precision, stainless steel linear shaft with helicoidal rack teeth. ...More >> Reliance Tubular Rack Helps Swiss Engineers Break New Ground with their Robotic Sampling Station
