Curve

Some machines need movement not only along a straight line but also on a smooth curved line. To facilitate this, THK provides the "R Guide" and the "Straight-curved Guide" devices. These devices allow for very accurate guidance that could not have been achieved through a combination of only conventional rotary and linear motions.

Large-capsule bingo game machines

 

Our R guides are used in arcade bingo game machines. The large capsule is shaken and rotated to scramble the bingo's number balls. The R guides enable the machine's reliable oscillatory movements.
