These self-centering slides provide dual platforms for smooth repeatable positioning, of instrumentation, tooling, and equipment via a rigid slide mounting arrangement. A turn of the hand-wheel advances the slide tables toward, or away from the slide center. As an option the dual carriage slide can be provided with one driven table and one free sliding table. This arrangement has been proven to be useful in supporting large work pieces. The extremely robust construction, includes oversized guide rails and high PV bearings allow mounting in an extended horizontal position. The slides also allow for a vertical mounted slide to be attached providing movement in the “X” and Z” axis’s. Standard options include Hand-wheel choices, position locks, Engraved dials, and digital position indicators. Use Generic Slides – Quality manufactured Dual Carriage Slides, as an effective and cost efficient solution to your instrumentation, manufacturing and Automation systems needs. Applications Include: Part centering for robotic pick-up Automation devices Dual work piece vises for machine tools Optics adjustments Laser positioning Positioning label dispensing equipment Positioning marking equipment Non-destructive testing Fixturing tooling and part locating nests Part scanning Automatic screw drivers Insertion equipment Fluid dispensing equipment Water-jet cutting Routing, drilling and milling spindles and tooling Features: Travels up to 72 inches Table widths from 2” to 18” Delicate to course adjustments Smooth motion Construction: Position Lock Rolled thread, acme or ball screw drive Adjustable backlash drive screw nut Heavy section construction Material options Radically oversized guide rails High PV contaminant resistant bearings.

Pick and place units from Generic Slides are, "pre engineered", "pre-assembled", "ready-to-go", multi-axis positioning modules. These combined motion devices are constructed with the same robust, tried and proven technology of Generic Slides ms-series slide systems. Configured with one to four and axis of motion, and combinations of , manual, pneumatic, motorized, and programmable drives, they provide a "off-the-shelf" solution to automation, assembly, instrument loading, and material handling applications. Generic Slides pick and place modules can be supplied as, mechanical hardware only assemblies, or as "plug and play" automation, ready to transfer parts between two or more locations. Custom designs are also available to meet customer specific requirements. Standard Configurations: Linear Motion PPX - Two post x-axis tabletop gantry. PPXZ - Two post x-axis tabletop gantry, with z axis PPXZR - Two post x-axis tabletop gantry, with z axis and rotary. PPY - Single post y-axis tabletop pick and place. PPYZ - Single post y-axis tabletop pick and place, with z-axis. PPYZR - Single post y-axis tabletop pick and place, with z-axis, and rotary. PPXY - Four post x-y axis tabletop gantry. PPXYZ - Four post x-y axis tabletop gantry with z-axis. PPXYZR - Four post x-y axis tabletop gantry with z-axis and rotary. R-Theta Motion PPRT - Radial axis and trunk rotation. PPRTZ - Radial axis and trunk rotation, with z-axis

These linear positioning slides provide smooth, repeatable, z-axis positioning, of instrumentation, tooling, and equipment via a rigid slide mounting arrangement. The extremely robust construction, including oversized guide rails and high PV bearings allow mounting in an extended vertical position. These slides also allow for a horizontal mounted slide to be attached allowing movement in the “Y” and Z” axis’s. Standard options include Hand-wheel choices, position locks, and adjustable backlash lead screw nuts.

Air Cylinder Slides provide a conveniently packaged solution for lift, transfer, and alignment hole provide mounting flexibility. Standard units can be combined for multi-axis motions

All slide models are available as X-Y Tables and Stages. They offer the same features and benefits as their single axis slide series counterparts. X-Y Tables and stages are configured for: Manual positioning Motor ready for your drives DC motor drive Stepping motor drive Servo motor drive

These dovetail slide sections are more tolerant to vibrations and shock loads than linear bearing slides. They provide low profile rigid mounting, for linear positioning of equipment, tooling, automation devices, and instrumentation. Basic slide sections include a saddle, base, gib, and gib adjusting screws. When the saddle is longer than the base the way system is naturally protected without the need for bulky covers. Saddle and base mounting details are provided by the user to suite the application requirements. GENERIC SLIDES standard dovetail slide sections are constructed from Hard-coat Aluminum, Cast Iron, Delrin, or Stainless Steel, PTFE surface treatment is also available. Dovetail slide options include: Predrilled mounting holes Custom saddle and base lengths Lead screw positioning Table locks Positioning dials Digital position indicators Multi-access assemblies Motorized units

Pneumatic slides from GENERIC SLIDES in standard and custom configurations provide outstanding quality, precise movement, trouble free operation, and attractive options. We provide cost effective solutions to your most demanding linear motion requirements.
