    Question Combined Rack and Linear Guide

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking at different for linear rails, guides and power transmission options to build a plasma table with and have come across a combined rack and linear guide in one,http://www.hepcomotion.com/
    Its under the GV3 products. I was wonder if anyone has ever used something like this for a plasma table or another type of CNC.
    I have not gotten any prices yet for any rails but was wondering if they are a good option in that, would they save space, require less mounting, be more economical (might not figure this out until i get a price)
    Any ideas/comments on these?

    Thanks
    D_G

    looks pretty cool, but whats the cost? Another problem i see is you can have more mounting flexibility with separate rack and guide rail...

    Thumbs up Hepco....

    Hepco is distributed by Bishop-Wisecarver in the US. you get a double markup, especially with the dollar upside down to the pound and the euro.

    D G, There are other suppliers of rack/guide hardware also. Some include linear scales as well. I believe they are all a bit pricey. I think one is Schneeberger (spelling?).
