If linear motion technology is featured in your factory, it's likely that it plays a largely mechanical role in your production processes. But as digital technology continues to evolve, linear motion technology is starting to play an increasingly important role in the factory of the future.
Linear motion technology solutions of the future can enable manufacturers to capture data, optimize processes, and predict wear sooner and with greater accuracy than ever before. Because of this, it is important that machine manufacturers, service providers, and users do not have to do any programming or integration themselves. Rather, they simply use the integrated measuring functions in the linear motion technology for analyses.
Far from being a basic mechanical technology, linear motion technology is poised to transform the modern manufacturing environment over the next several years. Key points in the manufacturing process chain are subject to change, including configuration, ordering, commissioning, operation, diagnostics, and maintenance.
The flexibility of digital linear motion technology allows for maximum productivity, improved configuration, and shorter time-to-market. This is because of all...
