Imaging Business Machines, LLC (IBML) is a worldwide leader in document-capture solutions. IBML’s main goal is to ensure that organizations such as financial institutions, health insurers, federal agencies and state governments benefit from intelligent high-speed scanning and imaging. The company offers ImageTrac® color scanners, SoftTrac® capture software application and services that provide in-depth industry expertise.

IBML has been a customer of igus, the leading manufacturer of Energy Chain Systems®, Chainflex® continuous-flex cables and iglide® plastic bearings, for three years. The company uses both iglide J and iglide G300 bearings to enable a conveyer belt to rotate on the ImageTrac, its line of intelligent document scanning platforms that rapidly convert paper-based information into electronic streams. IBML chose iglide because it is wear-resistant, chemical-resistant and maintenance-free.

Iglide J and iglide G300 operate seamlessly despite the paper dust created by the scanners and the six-day, 24-hour operation schedule they often maintain. And because iglide bearings do not need lubrication, IBML’s customers do not experience downtime that can occur when excessive dust and grease are present in the same environment, causing machine failure.

“One of the reasons we use iglide bearings is because of their ability to deliver a clean performance,” said Benjamin Bush, project engineer for IBML. “Another reason is that iglide gets the job done at a fraction of the cost.”

Iglide J and iglide G300 are part of the iglide suite of bearings that includes more than 6,000 sizes and styles from stock. All iglide bearings are lubrication-free and require no maintenance. To learn more about IBML and its products, visit www.ibml.com
