Rollon Acquires iMS, Expanding Its Lineup of Linear Actuator Modules and Robotic Transfer Units for Heavy Payloads

Rollon, a manufacturer of linear motion guides, actuators, and systems, has acquired Intelligent Machine Solutions, Inc. (iMS), a Michigan-based designer and manufacturer of standard and custom machinery for the automation industry.

With this acquisition, Rollon is expanding its lineup of linear actuator modules and robotic transport units (RTUs), allowing for static loads of over 110,000 pounds and support for industrial robots up to and including the Fanuc M-2000.

In addition to their load capacities, these linear modules and RTUs can be implemented in automated environments across many industries. They feature a modular design for application-specific configurations and are designed for fast assembly. Additional features include:

  • Solid steel construction
  • Large servo-reducer driven rack and pinion drive systems for positioning accuracy
  • Standard multi-axis configurations

These linear systems are engineered and manufactured in the USA, providing solutions with fast lead times to North and South America.
