Linear guides in medical technology and laboratory automation

Linear Motion Systems (LMS), are used in numerous areas that require precise, controlled and repeatable linear movements. As an essential component of automation, they make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and ensuring quality and process reliability. They are particularly important in medical technology and laboratory automation.

In medical technology and laboratory automation, linear motion systems (LMS) are primarily used for high-precision, automated motion sequences that place high demands on accuracy, cleanliness and repeatability. Typical applications can be found in automated analysers, pipetting systems, sample preparation units and dosing stations. Here, LMS perform tasks such as the exact positioning of microtitre plates, the movement of sample vessels between different stations or the precise movement of pipetting needles for liquid dosing. Minimal deviations and high repeatability are particularly important in laboratory environments. Linear systems with direct drives or ball screw drives are therefore used here. In sensitive areas of application such as molecular diagnostics or drug analysis, low-noise operation, compact designs and easy-to-clean materials are also crucial. As cleanroom-compatible or particle-free linear systems are specially designed for use in hygiene-critical areas, they contribute to process reliability and reproducibility.
