End-Supported Air Slides

New Way® end-supported air slides combine an accurate guide with an air slide ready-fit for installation. This provides engineers with the convenience of integrated guide-and-bearing systems.

• Designed specifically for situations where continuous support is impossible or impractical
• These simple assemblies are engineered to minimize guidebar sag
• Provides both straightness of motion and dynamic response that is often better than conventional rolling-element bearings

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering End-Supported Air Slides as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
