Linear guide rail, also known as line rail, slide rail, linear guide rail, or linear slide rail, is used for linear reciprocating motion and can withstand a certain torque, achieving high-precision linear motion under high load conditions. In mainland China, it is called linear guide rail, while in Taiwan it is generally called linear guide rail.

Linear guides can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. According to the friction properties, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types.

The function of linear guide motion is to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. According to the friction properties, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types. Linear bearings are mainly used in automation machinery, such as machine tools, bending machines, laser welding machines, etc. imported from Germany. Of course, linear bearings and linear shafts are used in conjunction. Linear guides are mainly used in mechanical structures with high precision requirements. There is no intermediate medium between the moving and fixed components of linear guides, but rolling steel balls are used.

As one of the core components of the equipment, the guide rail and linear axis play a role in guiding and supporting. In order for the machine to have high machining accuracy, it is required that its guide rails and straight lines have high guiding accuracy and good motion stability. During the operation of the equipment, a large amount of corrosive dust and smoke will be generated during the processing of the workpiece. These smoke and dust will accumulate on the surface of the guide rail and linear axis for a long time, which has a great impact on the machining accuracy of the equipment and will form corrosion points on the surface of the guide rail and linear axis, shortening the service life of the equipment. In order to ensure the normal and stable operation of the machine and the processing quality of the product, it is necessary to carefully carry out daily maintenance of the guide rails and linear axes. Attention: Please prepare dry cotton cloth and lubricating oil for cleaning the guide rail. The guide rails of the engraving machine are divided into linear guide rails and roller guide rails. Cleaning of linear guide: First, move the laser head to the right (or left) side, find the linear guide, wipe it with a dry cotton cloth until it is bright and dust-free, and then add a little lubricating oil (sewing machine oil can be used, do not use machine oil). Slowly push the laser head left and right a few times to evenly distribute the lubricating oil. Cleaning of roller guide rail: Move the crossbeam to the inside, open the end covers on both sides of the machine, find the guide rail, use a dry cotton cloth to wipe clean the contact area between the two side guides and the roller, and then move the crossbeam to clean the remaining area.
