Linear Motion Products for Machine Tools

CSK is a company specializing in manufacturing precision linear motion products. Linear motion products are widely used in various machine tools to enable precise and controlled movement.

Machines for lathing, milling, punching, honing, grinding, hobbing and/or other machining equipment use CSK linear motion products for a number of functions including:

• Loading of raw material and unloading of machined pieces

• Tool exchange operations

• Positioning of the machining tools

• Measuring operations

• Locking of the work piece in the machining position

• Operation of doors, hatches, covers and other safety features

Here are some specific applications of CSK's linear motion products in machine tools, along with the corresponding machine types and their uses:

1. CNC Milling Machines:

  - Linear Guides: Linear guides are used in CNC milling machines to provide smooth and precise linear motion for the movement of the milling head or table along the X, Y, and Z axes.

  - Ball Screws: Ball screws are commonly used in CNC milling machines to convert rotary motion into linear motion, allowing for accurate and controlled movement of the cutting tool.

2. CNC Lathes:

  - Linear Bearings: Linear bearings are utilized in CNC lathes to support and guide the movement of the lathe carriage along the bed, ensuring smooth and precise linear motion during turning operations.

  - Ball Screws: Ball screws play a crucial role in CNC lathes by providing precise linear motion for the movement of the tool post or turret along the longitudinal or cross-feed axes.

3. Grinding Machines:

  - Linear Motion Systems: Linear motion systems, which include linear guides, ball screws, and cnc linear bearings, are extensively employed in grinding machines to enable accurate movement of the grinding wheel or workpiece along different axes. They ensure precise positioning and smooth motion during grinding operations.

4. Drilling Machines:

  - Linear Guides: linear guide rails are commonly used in drilling machines to provide stable and precise linear motion for the movement of the drill head or workpiece along the X, Y, and Z axes.

  - Ball Screws: Ball screws are employed in drilling machines to convert the rotational motion of the spindle into linear motion, facilitating controlled drilling operations with accurate depth and positioning.

5. Boring Machines:

  - Linear Bearings: Linear bearings are utilized in boring machines to guide and support the movement of the boring bar or spindle along the workpiece, enabling accurate and controlled linear motion during the boring process.

  - Ball Screws: Ball screws are employed in boring machines to provide precise linear motion for the movement of the boring head or spindle, allowing for accurate positioning and machining of the workpiece.

These are just a few examples of the specific applications of CSK's linear motion products in machine tools. Linear motion products are integral to various other types of machine tools as well, providing the necessary precision and reliability for efficient machining operations.
