Today's machine builders seek to save space, yet at the same time utilize the latest sensor technology to measure and control linear motion systems. Watch the IMScompact online video and see the key features and unique advantages this system provides for the latest generation of compact machines.

Available in three sizes, the IMScompact measuring system lets you precisely measure and control Rexroth profiled rail systems (ball or roller). Ultra-compact, economical and flexible, the IMScompact lets you easily incorporate linear motion measurement into your designs to make small machines smaller, lighter and faster.

Reliably and precisely move components or work pieces with the Smart Function Kit for handling applications. Developed by the linear motion technology experts at Bosch Rexroth, this kit combines all the components you need to plug & produce.

Bosch Rexroth has leveraged over three decades of experience with linear motion technology, as well as the capabilities in the latest generation of digital electronics, to move mechatronics to the next level: smarter systems that allow users to "plug-and-produce, perform and proceed."

Fully integrated linear modules provide a versatile and cost-effective solution for many linear transport requirements and applications. These Tech Tips can help you avoid some of the common pitfalls that may occur during the selections and integration process.

As digital technology continues to evolve, linear motion technology is poised to transform the modern manufacturing environment over the next several years. Our experts explain the five key benefits of linear motion technology that will help achieve the Factory of the Future.

Of the various robots used for automated assembly, the Cartesian robot is the least complex. Also known as a linear or gantry robot, a Cartesian robot can only move its end effector in straight lines along the X, Y and Z axes.

Engineers have a bewildering array of choices for linear guides. Does the application require round rails or profile rails? Should the sliders ride on plain bearings or ball bearings?

Power your assembly or production line with ActiveMover, the new linear motor-driven transfer system from Bosch Rexroth.

By now, anyone involved in the industrial sector has heard of the Factory of the Future. Those four words encompass an industrial utopia defined by increased productivity with reduced downtime, data transparency, previously-untapped levels of customization, improved safety capabilities, all boiling down to more profitable production processes.
