Industrial machinery receives an upgrade through BMG and Rollon's precision linear motion systems.
In the dynamic world of industrial automation, Rollon's innovative linear motion technology is making waves. The Italian company's systems are designed to function reliably in heavy-duty industrial operations, such as mining and metals processing, where conventional motion systems may fail.
Rollon's technology offers key benefits such as enhanced efficiency, flexibility, high precision, compact design, easy maintenance, and high load capacity. These features make it highly applicable in industrial machinery across sectors like automotive assembly, electronics manufacturing, packaging, and mining.
In automotive assembly and electronics manufacturing, Rollon's high precision linear actuators achieve repeatability accuracy up to ±5 µm, enabling precise pick-and-place and positioning operations essential for assembling delicate components or robotic functions in tight spaces. The compact design maximises space use, critical in electronics lines with limited room. Additionally, their circular linear motion systems enable smooth controlled rotation and compact layouts, improving efficiency and reliability in assembly and device manufacturing processes with tight tolerances.
For packaging, Rollon's linear guides and actuator systems offer robust, self-aligning, and modular motion solutions that reduce misalignment issues and machining time, increasing durability and lowering costs. Their seventh axis robotic shuttle systems extend robot operating areas up to 46m stroke length and support heavy loads (up to 2000 Kg), allowing greater flexibility and robotic output for high-speed palletizing, gluing, and packaging tasks. This results in servicing more workstations efficiently with fewer or smaller robots, reducing capital costs.
In mining and heavy industries, the capacity of Rollon's systems to handle heavy loads and harsh conditions is critical. The modular, configurable design of their linear motion systems ensures easy integration into rugged industrial environments and supports large robotic payloads that can enhance automation in mining operations like material handling and heavy equipment maneuvering.
BMG, a leading supplier of engineered components in Southern Africa, partners with Rollon to deliver these advanced linear motion systems to manufacturers across the region. This partnership ensures manufacturers in Africa have access to world-class components for competitive operations. BMG offers improvements in positioning accuracy, load handling, and system durability through Rollon's products.
Rollon's portfolio includes a wide range of products, such as linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators, multi-axis systems, ball screws, and rotational units, all designed to function reliably in various industrial environments. The incorporation of smart features for real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance aligns these systems with Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Moreover, Rollon's specialist products are designed for cleanroom compliance and low particle generation, catering to the semiconductor and medical device industries. Their products are essential in these sectors, where cleanliness and sub-micron precision are crucial.
In the aerospace sector, Rollon's linear systems operate with absolute reliability under extreme conditions, thanks to quality-controlled manufacturing systems. Recent system advancements have been designed to reduce energy loss, minimise lubrication needs, and extend service intervals.
Leon Koekemoer, BMG's Linearway & Ball Screw Product Specialist, emphasises the critical function of linear motion components in modern industrial machinery. The advanced linear motion products from Rollon contribute to sustainable production and are supported by BMG's technical expertise.
In conclusion, Rollon's technology delivers precise, reliable, and space-saving motion components that improve productivity, reduce downtime, and enable flexible automation solutions across these industrial sectors.
