SCHNEEBERGER Inc.
US office of Swiss SCHNEEBERGER AG (est. 1923); manufactures MINIRAIL profile rail guides, integrated measuring systems, and ball screws for robotics.
SCHNEEBERGER Inc. is the North American subsidiary of SCHNEEBERGER AG, a Swiss-headquartered precision engineering group that was founded in 1923 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023. The group operates 15 companies globally, employs more than 1,400 people, maintains 14 production locations with over 100,000 sqm of production area worldwide, holds more than 100 patents, and serves over 4,000 customers across multiple high-precision industries.
The US office is located in Woburn, Massachusetts, and provides sales, technical support, and application engineering across the Americas. SCHNEEBERGER's product portfolio spans linear bearings and profile rail guideways (including the MINIRAIL miniature guideway system), linear bearings with integrated measuring systems (combining motion and position feedback in a single component), precision gear racks, slides and micro frictionless positioning tables, mineral casting machine bases, precision positioning and motion systems, ball screws, linear and telescope actuators (including multi-stage telescopic designs from the A.MANNESMANN subsidiary), boring and milling spindles, and customized bearings and sliding guideways.
SCHNEEBERGER holds a historically notable position as one of the first manufacturers to develop cross-roller guides and integrated measuring systems, and its original linear guideway design standards are credited as having become industry references. The company actively serves robotics applications — listed explicitly among its target industries alongside machine tools, semiconductor manufacturing, medical technology (including dental medicine, lab automation, nanotechnology, and biotechnology), photonics, metrology, and additive manufacturing.
The MINIRAIL profile guideway and the integrated measuring system product lines are particularly relevant to robotic joint and end-effector linear motion. The A.MANNESMANN subsidiary, now part of the SCHNEEBERGER Group, adds ball screws and telescope actuators used in 3D printing, aerospace, and other precision motion applications. SCHNEEBERGER exhibits annually at AUTOMATE, IMTS, SEMICON West, and other major automation trade shows.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
MINIRAIL Profile Guideway
