Frictionless Conveyance on a Pocket of Air
Remember the days of old when we played air hockey with friends and family? Were you not amazed at how the air lifted the puck and smoothly glided it whenever we hit it?
Well, CKD's Glass float module GFM Series uses a similar technology to gently lift and convey workpieces without scratching or damaging them.
This is made possible by using a porous material which is invisible to the eye. Air is blown through these micro-pores and frictionlessly transports workpieces.
This material comes in black, preventing irregular reflection of light and controls static electricity. It is the unsung hero of this product line.
