PBC Linear Machined precision at extrusion prices SIMULTANEOUS INTEGRAL MILLING OPERATION Synchronized Cutters Eliminate Built-In Extrusion Variances PBC Linear has revolutionized traditional machining with the patent pending SIMO® (Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation). The SIMO process uses synchronized cutters, eliminating natural extrusion variances by machining all critical edges concurrently in one pass. This ensures tight tolerances, limited variance and a remarkably straight and repeatable surface at negligible additional cost! Straightness Flatness Twist EXTRUSION PROCESS $$$ COST The end product is a rigid, accurate and repeatable aluminum extrusion that holds tight tolerances within ±.001” (.025 mm) for easy integration and minimal alignment on your linear motion system. LIMIT OF EXTRUSION PROCESS PROCESS TOLERANCE PRECISION As tolerances get tighter, the cost of machining with conventional processes increases dramatically over the SIMO process.
