Holding and positioning The RK LightUnit profile with one-sided slot makes for easy adjustment of the carriage with the individually adjustable positioning element G, without the need for any machining. If the carriage is moved over the positioning element G, it is secured in the desired position with the locking bolt. This connection technology provides a high degree of flexibility as (any number of) securing points do not need to be defined in advance (e.g. by drilling). So the limit positions can be adjusted at any time, and different carriages can be freely combined in order to achieve the...
