Innovations occur when people think “outside the box”. Like this start-up that had a brilliant idea for photographers and filmmakers – a portable camera slider that allows linear and curved movements. What the imaginative inventors lacked was an innovative profile manufacturer for the slide rail. They found this in mobil Kunststoffprofile.
The innovative slide rail is flexible and creates new possibilities for photography and filming. This places special demands on the profile material. It must have good sliding properties so that the camera element can be moved smoothly and quietly. The resilience of the material is just as important for the flexible adjustability of the slide rail. For this reason, a special material is used that is very demanding in extrusion processing.
The customer's drawing served as the foundation. The profile was developed step by step in several tests and optimised until it was ready for series production. Close cooperation and testing with the customer were crucial.
Marketable solution
The profile is an important part of the overall solution consisting of slider elements and controllers.
High flexibility
The camera slider can be adapted to the situation within seconds and creates new, creative opportunities for end customers.
Future potential
The chosen technical profile is the basis for further areas of application in which dynamics and mobility are required.
