Linear Positioning Systems
Manufacturing several different types of linear positioning systems and components, TPA can meet all your requirements for automated systems, industrial applications, inspection, pick-and-place, machining, and any application where linear motion and fixed linear positioning are required. Linear positioning products that we manufacture include precision slides, positioning tables, positioning stages, and linear actuators. In addition, we offer full custom engineered solutions to develop a fully integrated linear positioning system, using our expertise in all linear motion products and processes.
Each type of linear positioning system, from precision slides to positioning stages, is available with options to ensure that all your needs are covered: high or low load capacities, higher speed movement, various sizes, stroke travels, and material constructions, and locking and clamping mechanisms all ensure that the linear positioning system is the right fit for your application. For full details on all of our linear positioning system offerings, please drill down through the links below.
Precision Slides
Highly accurate short stroke linear motion mechanisms
- Non-recirculating linear bearings (crossed roller or ball bearing elements)
Positioning Tables
Linear motion slides that are typically driven by a linear actuation device.
- Micrometer drive
