  • Page 61: Axis Sliding System

    Axis Sliding System The axis sliding system consists of air bearings that ensure the support and friction–free movement of the moving parts of the axes (main carriage, central carriage and Z-rail). The moving parts are supported by a flow of compressed air, which comes from the pneumatic control unit. The flow supplies the bearings so as to form an air cushion between the bearings and the guideways.
