Where Precision Meets Production
In today’s fast-paced world of automated manufacturing, precision isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether it’s a bottling line filling 600 containers per minute or a robotic arm placing microchips with sub-millimeter accuracy, the backbone of these systems is reliable linear motion.
At IKO, we engineer linear motion solutions that quietly power the most demanding packaging and automation environments. Our LM, LME, LSAG, MAG, and LMS series are designed to deliver speed, load capacity, and near-zero maintenance, ensuring your production line never misses a beat.
LM & LME Linear Guides: The Foundation of Motion
Our LM and LME series are the cornerstone of general-purpose linear motion in automation.
- LM Guide: Built to metric specifications, this guide offers high rigidity and multi-directional load capacity, making it ideal for high-speed transport mechanisms in assembly lines and machine tools.
- LME Guide: Designed to European standards, the LME provides design flexibility for manufacturers integrating IKO quality into existing systems.
Application Spotlight: Bottling & Filling Machines
In high-speed bottling lines, LM and LME guides ensure precise vertical and horizontal movement of filling nozzles. Their ability to handle significant overturning moments prevents spills and maintains throughput—a critical factor in maintaining production consistency.
C-Lube Technology: Maintenance-Free Motion
Contamination and maintenance are persistent challenges in packaging, food processing, and medical device manufacturing. That’s why IKO developed C-Lube Technology, featured in our MAG Ball Spline Guide.
- LSAG Guide: Offers high-load, high-rigidity performance for rotary/linear motion where lubrication is manageable.
- MAG Guide: With built-in C-Lube, this guide delivers years of maintenance-free operation, making it ideal for hard-to-reach machinery and 24/7 production environments.
Application Spotlight: Capping & Sealing Systems
The MAG guide excels in applications requiring rotational and linear motion, such as capping and sealing. Its reduced downtime and self-lubricating design make it a game-changer for continuous operations.
LMS Series: Micro-Precision for Smart Automation
As automation evolves toward miniaturisation and Industry 4.0, IKO’s LMS Miniature Linear Bushing series meets the demand for compact, high-precision components.
These guides are essential in:
- Pharmaceutical Automation: Accurate dosing and vial handling.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Sub-micron positioning for wafer inspection.
- Laboratory Automation: Multi-axis robotic systems for sample analysis.
In smart factories, every component must contribute to system-wide efficiency and data integrity—and LMS guides are built for that future.
Driving the Next Generation of Automation
At IKO, we don’t just manufacture components—we deliver engineered solutions. Whether it’s the high-speed performance of the LM guide, the design compliance of the LME, or the maintenance-free reliability of the MAG Ball Spline, our products are built to elevate your automation systems.
