Extrusion Variances
PBC Linear has revolutionized traditional
machining with the patent pending SIMO®
(Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation).
The SIMO process uses synchronized cutters,
eliminating natural extrusion variances by
machining all critical edges concurrently in
one pass. This ensures tight tolerances, limited
variance and a remarkably straight and
repeatable surface at negligible additional cost!

The end product is a rigid, accurate and
repeatable aluminum extrusion that holds tight
tolerances within ±.001” (.025 mm) for easy
integration and minimal alignment on your linear
motion system.

PRECISION
As tolerances get tighter, the cost of machining with conventional
processes increases dramatically over the SIMO process.
