AMETEK Haydon Kerk Pittman Introduces New EGS Low-Profile Precision Rail
AMETEK Haydon Kerk Pittman (HKP), a business unit of AMETEK, is pleased to announce its new EGS04 low-profile precision rail.
The EGS “efficient guided system” is ideally suited for customers in lab automation and electronic assembly whose applications require high speed and highly efficient point-to-point motion. Its stage base combines RGS-style screw supports and a ball bearing profile rail for a lower carriage ride (In addition, the EGS provides a less complex and up to 50 percent smaller alternative to more traditional belt + gearbox designs. It offers the advantage of an easily integrated “bolt-in” design, which eliminates many facets of a multi-component design, like the need for additional engineering, managing multiple vendors, and integrating a precision assembly.
