Solution
Preliminary tests at Sahm proved that the
drylin T linear guide system can achieve a sufficiently uniform linear movement for this application, even at extremely low speeds. It thus prevents the stick-slip effect so that the filament guide can move continuously upwards in a linear fashion. Due to the adjustment possibility of the guide carriages, an almost clearance-free fine adjustment of the guide is possible. A defined displacement resistance of the guide has been set for this adjustment.
The core of the guide carriages consists of lubrication-free and extremely durable sliding elements made of our high-performance polymers. They are quick and easy to handle and maintenance-free in use. The rail guides made of hard anodised aluminium are tough and corrosion-resistant.
