IGUS W Linear Rails

[yukonho]

CNCAdmin, you said earlier that the IGUS were no cheaper than the ball bearing ones.
I have looked high and low and cant find any ball bearing slides for even twice the price of IGUS. Can you give us some links? To new stuff preferably, ones we can order to the sizes we need.

Sorry for not getting them up sooner, but as promised I took a few photos of my machine which uses the Igus W rails. They are working great with the Ballscrews/Nuts. Each Axis rapids at about 180 IPM at the current settings, and when they are all rapid moving, Mach 2 shows a speed of about 300 IPM... Any questions, feel free to ask. (Photos are under "coherent" in the member gallery. Not sure how to put a link to it here, moderator, feel free to do so!)

I am glad you like the Igus stuff. I have had some very good results with them over the years. I was going to post some of the lathe but the guy I make them for asked me not to, customer comes first!

I too am interested in a sorce for the knock offs, could you please post a link or pm me with the info. Thanks in advance.

Marc,

How are the Igus W rails working out for you? I think I'd like to do something similar.

I looked at your photos in your galley, but they were kinda small, and the x rail was not very clear.

Do you suppose you could take some more photos? I am trying to see the lower 80/20 rail, the igus W x rail, and the shuttle.

Thanks,

Mike...
