A bakery was experiencing regular failures on their band cutter linear guides. The existing linear guides were Armoloy coated and used food grade grease however, not holding up to the required performance standards. The bakery was looking for a linear guide with increased speeds and longer service life to meet increased production. NSK proposed a stainless steel Linear Guide, high speed series with food grade K1 lubrication unit.
