Choosing the best approach for installing parallel rails often comes down to the precision the job requires. For motion systems that must deliver highly accurate movements in critical applications, it is best to use a reference edge on the machine or equipment bed along with the proper tools to prepare, align and secure the rails. When high precision is not essential, installers have more flexibility with the mounting surfaces. And if cost is a concern, alternatives to a machined reference edge are available.
In this second post in our blog series on parallel rail installation, you’ll learn how to use a reference edge, as well as a simpler approach that lets the system do the work for you.
