Achieving Higher Linear Speeds with Soft
Helical Racks on CNC Routers
Customer's Problem
 A CNC router
manufacturer had been using low-quality spur racks for years on their
machines. The racks worked fine and provided decent accuracy, but
their customers kept requesting better accuracy and higher linear
speeds.
ATLANTA's Solution
To
achieve better accuracy, ATLANTA offered a soft helical rack to replace
the low quality spur rack. The precision milled helical rack provided smoother
running and quieter operation than the existing rack and
could also handle the high linear speeds that their customers wanted.
If
the customer ever outgrows the soft helical rack, they can move up to a
quenched & tempered helical rack, or a hardened & ground helical rack.
ATLANTA's wide range of standard rack & pinion drives allows for maximum
design flexibility, so machine builders' requirements always get met.
