The World’s First Monolithic Linear Guide System - DGX Series Built-in Guide Module
By integrating the linear guide structure directly into the module body, the DGX series delivers a balanced combination of compact design, high rigidity, and reliable motion accuracy, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained and performance-sensitive applications.
One of the core features of the DGX series is its high structural stiffness. The built-in guide design reduces deformation under load and enhances resistance to moment and torsional forces, ensuring stable operation even in high-speed or repetitive motion scenarios. This contributes to consistent positioning accuracy and smoother linear movement, which are critical for precision automation systems.
Application Solutions
Generally, IMTEK linear modules have 3 different types with different drive devices: ball screws, belt-driven modules and linear motors.
They are widely applied in CNC machines, packaging, sorting, and semiconductor manufacturing, which have precise demands on the precision and rigidity level of high-speed requirements. In automated applications, such as medical devices, automation assembly lines, linear modules can show their advantages better than traditional solutions.
What is DGX Series Built-in Guide Module?
A built-in guide module is a highly integrated linear motion component in which the linear guides and supporting structure are manufactured as a single unit. Unlike conventional linear guide systems that require separate guide rails, mounting surfaces and precise on-site alignment, a built-in guide module offers a ready-to-install solution that simplifies machine design while improving motion stability and accuracy.
In the IMTEK DGX Series built-in guide module, the linear guideway is directly integrated into the guide module body. This design significantly reduces installation errors, minimizes tolerance accumulation, and enhances overall structural rigidity. As a result, the system delivers smoother linear motion, higher positioning repeatability, and better resistance to moment and torsional loads, especially in compact or high-speed automation equipment.
Built-in guide modules are widely used in applications where space efficiency, fast assembly, and reliable performance are critical, such as robotics, automated handling systems, inspection equipment, packaging machinery, and modular automation units. Compared with traditional linear guide assemblies, the DGX series enables shorter design cycles, lower assembly costs, and more consistent performance across batches.

- Customization is another advantage of it. You could optimize the system with whatever kinds of devices you need, motors, encoders, or sensors. This adjustable design makes your applications more efficient, functional,l and durable.
Features of IMTEK Aluminium Linear Modules
IMTEK Aluminum linear module is a kind of module, which includes a base plate unit, a table part, a spindle drive device, and a telescoping tube arrangement that encompasses the spindle and that has two tube elements that engage with each other in telescoping fashion in a movement direction, namely a tube element connected to the base plate unit and a tube element connected to the table part.
IMTEK Single Axis stages are a combined mechanical platforms using ball screws or belts as drive devices together with linear guides for high speed and smooth linear motion. It provides the basis for the high accuracy positioning in a single direction or a controlled movement load. They are utilized in multi-axis systems freely according to your design so you could make your systems efficiently and creatively. Single Axis stages are largely applied in CNC machines, 3D printer and semiconductor testings.
Single Axis Stages are mainly applied in various of inspection instruments such as semiconductor testings, and in automation applications, for example, laser cuttings, packaging, 3D printers and transportation. It aims to develop the production efficiency and save the labor costs.
When choosing the single axis stages, you need to make sure of the load capacity and the accuracy the devices need, the movement distance the application required. Then you should determine the driving method: ball screw drive, belt, linear motor or other kinds of drive devices. What’ more, the specific working environment is also needed to take into consideration.
Regularly cleaning and lubricating the parts of stages are necessary. You also need check the wear of the linear bearings and the drive devices. When using, you should ensure the applications aren’t over loaded beyond its load capacity. If you have any questions about the manitenance of your linear modules systems, please don’t be hesitated on contact IMTEK.
In general, there are three kinds of materials IMTEK single axis stages uses: Iron, Aluminum, Stainless steel.
