Guideways for Machines

Sliding guides, used in various industrial fields, are made choosing different kinds of materials according to Customer specifications and demands. The guides generally support the moving parts of the machines: Lorenzon offers a detailed analysis of the construction drawings and is at your complete disposal to suggest and study improvements and modifications. The entire production process, starting from the selection of materials, is controlled by us. The objective is to achieve the goals that you give us: respect of the lead time at the right price, with the strict rule of quality.

Our technology allows us to achieve extremely tight tolerances in terms of planarity and parallelism up to lengths of 5 metres. The following materials are normally used:

- steels subject to total heat or induction treatments;
- case-hardening and nitrogen-hardening steels;
- bronze, brass, aluminium and other anti-friction materials.

Furthermore, induction and total heat treatments are performed as well as ionic and gaseous nitrogen hardening.
