During the design software Linear Motion Designer from Bosch Rexroth there are new functions: The dimensioning of linear bushing guides is now possible, the program provides information on the lubrication interval and lubrication quantity and additional selection aids lead to the right one more quickly linear guide.
The Linear Motion Designer has been the first choice for the calculation and dimensioning of linear guides of Rexroth linear technology and has been continuously improved since then. The latest version of the software also supports the design of the linear bushing guide and, thanks to the integration of new functions, enables an even faster and more convenient design. The Linear Motion Designer is therefore an important part of Rexroth's digital engineering and procurement chain.
Igus linear guide as a quiet, maintenance-free alternative
The update ensures an application-oriented design process for linear guides such as profile rail guides, screw drives and now also Linear Bushing Guide.
Thanks to clever selection aids, the user is guided through the dimensioning of linear guides in a targeted manner and reaches the right solution more quickly. This also includes the selection guide Guide carriage: After entering the calculation-relevant data, the user can specify the future area of application more precisely based on application criteria.
Based on this information, a preferred one Linear carriage the linear guide offered. It is then used directly for the layout of the guide. Predefined motion profiles help you enter the dynamic cycle quickly. The stroke and time must be defined and the results tailored to the requirements are already available.
When entering the required service life or mileage, the Linear Motion Designer only displays carriages that mathematically achieve the conditions. From selected guide rails and screws the lubrication intervals and quantities can be displayed.
The configuration of screw drives has also been optimized. When dimensioning is now the appropriate End storage can be selected in addition to nut and spindle. This means that you no longer need a product catalog when switching to the configurator. In this way, the user gets to the desired screw drive even faster.
The latest version of the Linear Motion Designer is rounded off by a revised one Calculation guide. This contains basic information about the linear guide. An automatic update function always keeps the tool up to date.
