Rollon, a global leader in linear motion solutions, is expanding its international presence with a robust schedule of appearances at key industry trade fairs throughout March . The company will showcase its integrated motion portfolio at events in Spain, Korea, the United States, and Germany, aiming to support manufacturers and engineering professionals in enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and overall system performance.
The four exhibitions – BIEMH in Spain, Automation World in Korea, PB Expo in the United States, and LogiMAT in Germany – represent strategic opportunities for Rollon to present its complete range of linear and rotary motion technologies. This comes as the company continues to grow following its acquisition by The Timken Company in , becoming a cornerstone of Timken’s expanding linear motion platform.
Automation World – Korea: A Focus on Advanced Linear Solutions
At Automation World, Asia’s leading smart manufacturing and automation exhibition held in Korea from to , Rollon will be exhibiting at booth LB114 in hall B. The display will feature a wide range of advanced linear motion solutions, including partial and full extension telescopic rails. Visitors will also be able to examine the Compact Rail and Compact Rail Plus linear guide systems, recognized for their robustness and ability to compensate for misalignment.
Beyond rails, Rollon will showcase a variety of actuator solutions, including the Smart belt-driven series, ELM protected actuators, and the AXNR circular system. High-load ball screws and rotational units will also be on display, demonstrating the breadth of Rollon’s capabilities.
Responding to Evolving Industry Needs
Rollon’s increased focus on global trade fairs underscores a broader trend within the automation and robotics industries. Demand for reliable linear motion systems is rapidly increasing, particularly those capable of continuous operation under demanding conditions. Many automated applications now require handling heavy loads and sustaining high-duty cycles, necessitating robust and long-lasting solutions – a niche Rollon has been cultivating for fifty years, celebrating the milestone in .
This demand is driven by the evolving needs of diverse sectors, including medical equipment, semiconductors, rail, aerospace, and material handling. As manufacturing companies become increasingly agile, adapting to shifts in demand – such as the fluctuating automotive market between electric and gas-powered vehicles – the need for quickly customizable and deliverable linear motion systems is paramount. Rollon distinguishes itself by offering customized systems in a matter of weeks, rather than months, allowing customers to reconfigure factories more rapidly.
A Modular Approach to Innovation
Central to Rollon’s success is its modular product platform, a business model pioneered twenty years ago. This approach allows for high flexibility in meeting customer requirements, whether it’s a customized linear guide, a three-axis actuator system, or a fully equipped system solution. The company’s ability to innovate and adapt quickly is a key differentiator in a competitive market.
The company’s portfolio includes XL Xtrem Load family of high-dynamic, high-load ball screws for heavy-duty applications, and the XP Xtrem Position family, engineered for high-performance production technologies with a strong focus on linear drives for machine tools. These solutions are designed for demanding machine tool applications, as will be highlighted at BIEMH in Spain.
Global Expansion and Strategic Partnerships
Rollon’s participation in these global events reflects a continued commitment to strengthening its international presence. With a presence in 11 countries and 14 state-of-the-art manufacturing sites, the company employs a team of 1,200 skilled professionals worldwide. The company’s growth since becoming part of The Timken Company has been dramatic, solidifying its position as a leading provider of linear motion solutions.
The upcoming trade fair appearances are not merely promotional exercises; they represent a strategic investment in building relationships with customers and partners, showcasing cutting-edge technology, and solidifying Rollon’s position as a key player in the global automation landscape. The company aims to provide solutions that improve efficiency, flexibility, and overall system performance for manufacturers across a wide range of industries.
