The mobile flip chart: CompactChart

• What was needed: drylin® N Guide rail in combination with guide carriage
• Requirements: The components should be particularly light so as not to significantly increase the carrying weight. In addition, no greases or oils should contaminate the carrier. The linear guide should stabilize the flipchart and have low friction. It should also be possible to assemble/disassemble intuitively without instructions.
• Products used: drylin® N low-profile guide system
• Success for the customer: The linear guides used offer a high load capacity, are absolutely clean and maintenance- and lubrication-free. They also have a long service life. For transporting the CompactCharts, the products from igus® are extremely light thanks to the aluminum and plastic materials and are extremely space-saving with a system width of 17 mm and a height of 9.5 mm.

It is difficult to develop a flipchart that is both intuitive and easy to use, but also robust enough to withstand temperatures and individual environments, for example during transport. The heavy and bulky design of conventional flipcharts makes it difficult to transport. It also needs to be ready for immediate use without any additional explanations or preparations. Weight also plays a major role.

In addition to the compact type, the drylin® N guide system impresses above all with its robust design. Whether used indoors or outdoors, at high or low temperatures, in clean or dirty environments, the system works smoothly and is fail-safe. Taking the CompactChart with you is easy, as is setting it up. Users do not need to carry out any maintenance; once installed, it fulfils its requirements reliably.

The function and service life of all drylin® N sizes can be calculated around the clock in the online configurator for linear technology. All CAD models of the drylin® N linear guide can also be loaded.
