Linear guide, roller bearing and positioning stage manufacturer IKO International will showcase its automation component portfolio at Automate 2026 in Chicago.

The company said that booth visitors can see demos of how its technologies offer precision and accuracy, making them perfectly suited for long, maintenance-free lifecycles that automation equipment demands.

IKO at Automate 2026

IKO provided the following details of the products that will be at its Automate 2026 booth, including:

Crossed roller bearings (CRBs): Designed with a large contact area where the rollers meet the raceway surfaces, CRBs exhibit exceptional rotational accuracy with less deflection under load. The company said that many mechanical designs can benefit from the rigidity, accuracy, speed and compact size that IKO CRBs provide. IKO added that they are available in a wide variety of sizes and constructions to fit various rotating mechanisms.
NT Series positioning tables: These closed-loop units deliver real-time positioning and control with exceptional rigidity and repeatability thanks to a built-in anti-cage creep crossed roller way, direct drive linear motor, high-strength neodymium magnets for the slide table and high-resolution optical encoders. IKO said that ultra-compact, high attitude accuracy, and pick-and-place versions are available. The company said that booth visitors can see the NT Series in action as they navigate a maze game that puts an NT ultra compact linear table through its paces.

Additionally, IKO said that Automate attendees can also learn about the company’s Fast Track production and stocking program. IKO said that it can deliver or make the TU and TE Series ball-screw driven positioning tables in as little as two weeks.

IKO said that both units are appropriate for a wide range of applications, boasting accurate positioning, excellent thrust force and a U-shaped track rail that, under moment loads and torsion, bolsters rigidity.
