Advanced Engineering for Machine Modules

Integrated Motion Solutions

Gilman’s machine modules combine precision slides, spindles, and drive systems into one complete assembly. This integrated approach reduces complexity, improves alignment, and simplifies installation compared to sourcing individual components.

Optimized for Accuracy and Longevity

Each module is engineered with high-quality materials and precision-ground components, ensuring smooth motion, long-lasting durability, and minimal maintenance. These modules are designed to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.

Types of Machine Modules

Linear Motion Modules

Linear motion modules include precision slides and stages designed for smooth, accurate travel. These modules can feature dovetail slides, hardened box way slides, or linear guide slides, customized to meet specific travel lengths, load capacities, and mounting requirements.

Rotary Motion Modules

Rotary motion modules integrate high-performance spindles or rotary tables to provide controlled rotational movement. These modules are ideal for milling, grinding, drilling, and other applications that require precise rotary motion.

Combined Linear and Rotary Modules

For complex operations, Gilman offers machine modules that combine linear and rotary motion in one assembly. This allows for multi-axis movement within a compact, easy-to-install system, improving flexibility and operational efficiency.

Benefits of Machine Modules

Simplified Installation and Integration

By combining multiple motion elements into one assembly, Gilman’s machine modules reduce installation time and ensure proper alignment. This helps minimize setup errors and improves overall machine performance.

Enhanced Accuracy and Reliability

Because machine modules are designed and assembled as complete systems, they deliver improved accuracy, smoother motion, and higher reliability compared to separate components that require manual integration.

Reduced Maintenance and Downtime

Integrated modules have fewer alignment and compatibility issues, which reduces wear and maintenance needs. This leads to less downtime and longer service life for your equipment.

Flexible and Customizable Solutions

Gilman’s machine modules are available in standard configurations or can be fully customized to meet unique application requirements, ensuring optimal performance for specific processes.
