Design Summary:

Open Rail is a new Open Source Universal Linear Rail System designed to be used in conjunction with various sizes of
readily available T-Slot aluminum extrusions.
The Open Rail system will be made of 6061-T5 Aluminum with Black Hard Coat Anodized, Type III, which means we will have
the ability to use both metal v wheels for heavy duty applications and plastic v wheels for quiet light duty applications. This,
along with Open Rail’s unique ability to adapt to many different aluminum extrusions configurations makes it the most
versatile linear rail system available today. This version of Open Rail is compatible with all Misumi’s 5 series extrusions.
Future plans include expanding the Open Rail line to include more of the Misumi’s larger series as well as other popular T-
Slot extrusions such as 80/20. The linear V guides have been around for a long time. The problem in the past has been
mounting them to existing extrusions. This can be difficult and unconventional. Open Rail was designed to make installation
a breeze (easily installs with included screws and t-nuts) and completely customizable unique to each machine.
