PBC Linear Provides Compact Bio-Sample Handling Solution

(July 12, 2011 - Rockford, IL)

When designing new diagnostic medical equipment, manufacturability and ease of assembly can be just as critical as performance. A complex assembly and installation process can lead to higher costs and additional need for maintenance upkeep in the field. Recently, PBC linear worked closely with a medical equipment engineering team to streamline the design of their motion control system for a diagnostic analyzer. After reviewing the initial design, PBC Linear was able to provide a simplified solution that was specifically designed to fit into the compact working area.

The diagnostic analyzer required precise movement to position the bio-samples in place as well as to store/sort them when not being analyzed. To solve their linear motion issues, PBC Linear needed to provide a driven linear guide system that was compact enough to fit into the pre-designed package as well as precise enough to reliably move the samples into place.

Originally, the medical equipment manufacturer approached PBC Linear to offer a compatible substitute to their motion control assembly; which consisted of 33 components including multiple complex machined pieces. Also, the machining and assembly processes had to be completed by several separate vendors; resulting in a slower time to market. PBC resolved to streamline the process and recommended using a single piece plain bearing assembly to simplify installation, improve reliability and reduce total installed cost.
