APPLICATION STORY

A laser etching company looked to PBC for a linear solution due to constant ball bearing failure from etching debris in its laser systems. PBC used parallel ceramic coated shafts and self-lubricating FrelonGold® linear bearings in a custom system carriage in order to withstand impending debris and greatly improve accuracy.
