Slide/guide Rails?
Slide/guide Rails?
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a large HMI control panel that needs to be used at all points along a long conveyor belt. approximately 10 metres. I would like to mount this HMI onto a rail that runs the length of the conveyor, with a linear bearing to slide this HMI up and down the rail (therefore conveyor) easily. Sounds pretty simple in theory but I cant seem to find a UK manufacturer of this. I'm sure its easy to find online but I can't get onto the right track by searching for linear slide rails/tracks etc...Can anybody point me in the right direction? or recommend a vendor for me to contact?
Cheers
Matt
