Machine Building is an important event for R. A. Rodriguez

Machine Building is an important event for R. A. Rodriguez as it provides the opportunity for the company to showcase its new range of drives to UK industry and also to emphasise its competence in linear motion technology. In addition to the modular Werner systems the company will also be demonstrating examples from its own linear range.

R. A. Rodriguez has recently been appointed the exclusive UK representative for drive manufacturer Framo Morat. Its range of systems includes the Compacta slip-on geared motor with built-in limit switches. This is an ideal actuator for reverse motion and is available in four sizes with torques up to 600Nm.

In a similar vein the MINI is a range of extremely compact linear actuators with acme screws that are sealed to IP65. Minimum space requirement is also the main selling point of LinearChain that is capable of long strokes despite its small size.

Taking full advantage of Framo’s comprehensive manufacturing capabilities R. A. Rodriguez is also able to meet most custom drive requirements. In addition to special worm gear drives Framo has developed, for example, a 2-motor stairlift drive and intelligent actuators for tractors.

The Werner linear motion range of systems, modules and controllers is now one of the most comprehensive available. The products are designed to be freely combined enabling the user to create dedicated, multi-axes handling systems. They offer high load capacity, high rigidity, quiet operation and are complemented by a choice of motors, plug-in positioning systems and controllers.

Examples from the company’s own range of linear components will also be shown at Machine Building 2008. These include linear guideways, ball bushings, bearings housings, shaft supports and shaft blocks. R. A. Rodriguez is far more than just a supplier of linear motion components however. It has many years experience in designing and building bespoke handling systems for a broad spectrum of industries from food processing to automotive part manufacture. Full details will be available on the stand.
