“Franke linear guides are made of lightweight aluminium, which is very important for us because it allows us to achieve higher speeds,” explains Alonso Marquez. At the same time, he says, process reliability must always be guaranteed. “The durability and resistance of Franke linear systems is crucial for us because they guide fundamental movements and the functioning of the entire machine depends on them,” says Marquez. For customers who clean their machines very frequently for hygiene reasons, Franke’s completely corrosion-resistant FDC type linear guides are also used. In this version, the inserted raceways and the rollers are made of corrosion-resistant steel, which further improves the resistance.

Linear systems to individual specification

Because each Mespack packaging machine is individually adapted to the customer’s needs, Mespack also demands adapted solutions from Franke. “In our project drawings, the lengths of the guide rails and the required bores are specified in each case,” explains Alonso Marquez. “Franke supplies us accordingly with the linear systems.” Franke consultant Ignacio García assists Mespack on site in Spain. He explains that Franke works with a metalworker in Barcelona who handles the project-specific adjustments to the rails. “The local proximity of our partner company to Mespack shortens the delivery time. In this way, we are able to deliver even the customised components on time within tight project schedules,” Ignacio Garcia comments with satisfaction.
