<p>A wide range of medical devices, digital imaging or scanning applications, and laboratory automation rely on linear motion. For laboratory automation, the need for increased productivity, higher accuracy, and better reproducibility
of experimental results are driving the increased use of linear motion. Sophisticated medical devices and digital imaging or scanning applications are increasingly relying on linear motion control systems which have become crucial
for the successful development, progress, and deployment of these vital medical tools.</p>

<h2>Linear Motion Solutions for Lab Automation</h2>
<p>Lab automation not only makes scientific experiments and processes faster, more accurate, and more efficient, but it also allows researchers to run experiments on a larger scale while reducing the likelihood of human error.
The success of these lab automation systems greatly depends on the proper selection of suitable linear drive system components.</p>
<p>This article provides an overview of the basic linear motion devices available, including belt drives, <a href="/Products/Screws" target="_blank">screw-driven</a> technology, and motor options. It then explores many of the
corresponding laboratory automation applications that can take advantage of linear motion. Examples of these important laboratory automation applications include Cartesian robots for sample handling, diagnostic equipment,
fluid dispensing, lab instrumentation.</p>

<h2>Linear Motion Solutions for Medical Device and Scanning Applications</h2>
<p>A wide range of medical devices and digital imaging or scanning applications rely on linear motion. Medical diagnostic applications pose distinctive obstacles, and choosing a linear drive for such new or existing tools remains
difficult. First, such applications typically must meet a variety of requirements such as reliability, accuracy, and repeatable movement. Second, there are now numerous linear motion devices available to choose from, adding to the

For laboratory automation, the need for increased productivity, higher accuracy, and better reproducibility of experimental results are driving the increased use of linear motion. Sophisticated medical devices and digital imaging or scanning applications are increasingly relying on linear motion control systems which have become crucial for the successful development, progress, and deployment of these vital medical tools. Whether you are involved in medical-related fields or are interested in general automation, we think you will find these two articles informative. The abstracts are presented below with their subsequent links to the full articles. LINEAR MOTION SOLUTIONS FOR LAB AUTOMATION Lab automation not only makes scientific experiments and processes faster, more accurate, and more efficient, but it also allows researchers to run experiments on a larger scale while reducing the likelihood of human error. The success of these lab automation systems greatly depends on the proper selection of suitable linear drive system components. This article provides an overview of the basic linear motion devices available, including belt drives, screw-driven technology, and motor options. It then explores many of the corresponding laboratory automation applications that can take advantage of linear motion. Examples of these important laboratory automation applications include Cartesian robots for sample handling, diagnostic equipment, fluid dispensing, lab instrumentation. See more lab automation examples and download the full article. LINEAR MOTION SOLUTIONS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE AND SCANNING APPLICATIONS A wide range of medical devices and digital imaging or scanning applications rely on linear motion. Medical diagnostic applications pose distinctive obstacles, and choosing a linear drive for such new or existing tools remains difficult. First, such applications typically must meet a variety of requirements such as reliability, accuracy, and repeatable movement. Second, there are now numerous linear motion devices available to choose from, adding to the complexity of the task. In addition to an overview of the basic linear motion devices available, this industry focus brochure offers a wider view of the medical devices, medical imaging, and scanning systems that benefit most from linear motion. Examples of medical devices include surgical robots, medical instrumentation, and robotic dispensing applications. Examples of medical diagnostics include CT and MRI scanners, and ultrasound machines. See more diagnostic examples and download the full article.
