With the continuous improvement of manufacturing automation, linear modules (also known as linear slides or linear actuators) have gradually become indispensable core components in production lines. They can achieve precise linear motion, and when combined with servo motors or stepper motors, they can meet different requirements for speed, accuracy, and load. For many enterprises undergoing automation upgrades, linear modules are often the first choice to replace manual operations.

So, where are linear modules mainly applied in automated production lines?


With advantages such as high precision, high efficiency, and customizability, linear modules have been widely applied in material handling, dispensing, cutting, inspection, and assembly processes. For enterprises seeking automation upgrades, linear modules not only improve production capacity but also reduce labor costs and enhance overall competitiveness.

1. Workpiece Handling and Loading/Unloading

In industries such as electronics, hardware, and plastics, linear modules are commonly used for workpiece handling and loading/unloading. By combining linear modules with robotic arms, raw materials can be placed accurately into designated stations, or finished products can be removed. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces human error.
