FOR THIS COMPANY

NSK: Engineering Leadership in 3D Printing

A 3D manufacturer developed a revolutionary technology that significantly speeds up the printing process, to enable both production flexibility and high-volume capacity.

Challenge

This 3D printing OEM had a small footprint available to design a linear positioner that could support and move the printer’s build platform, while also preventing the large reversing forces induced by the build platform and the liquid resin. High rigidity and a low backlash mechanism were also needed to enable exceptionally accurate positioning for the production of high precision parts.

Solution

Locally based NSK Application Engineering recommended the Monocarrier linear actuator with dual carriages to provide a compact-sized positioner with high stiffness, high load capacity, and smooth precision motion. The Monocarrier also came standard with NSK’s K1 lubrication seal, allowing the customer to enjoy maintenance-free operation for up to 5 years or 10,000 km of travel.
