Takachiho Koheki Launches Sliding Systems' Bidirectional Drawer Rails for the Robotics Market

Takachiho Koheki Co., Ltd. is launching the full-scale sales of the 'DTSB Rail Series,' bidirectional drawer rails by Sliding Systems, optimized for automation equipment utilizing collaborative robots in the machine tool and processing machinery market.

These slides allow drawers holding workpieces to be opened in either direction. When used in robot loaders, they streamline parts replenishment by human operators and supply/removal by robots. Their heavy-load capacity makes them suitable for equipment handling heavy workpieces.

[Features of the Product] - Dual-direction access: Openable from both front and rear, optimizing access for both human operators and robots. - 100% full-travel extension: Maximizes access to workpieces in limited spaces. - Heavy-load capacity: Constructed from carbon steel (C45E+C) to ensure high strength and dimensional accuracy. - High-rigidity design: Incorporates an 'I' beam shape in the intermediate member, minimizing deflection and reducing breakage risks. - Optimized for robotics: Laser-hardened bearing ball grooves achieve 62HRC hardness, improving operational performance and durability. - Wide lineup: Available in cross-sections from 40mm to 120mm, load capacities from 40kg to 1,890kg, and lengths from 300mm to 3,000mm.

Takachiho Koheki has been distributing these products since December 2020 under an exclusive domestic distribution partnership with Set Square Investments Limited, the owner of the Sliding Systems brand.
