Abstract
A device for translating a slide comprises a frame 15, a first guide rod 17A, a second parallel guide rod 17B, and first and second bearing means which cooperate with respective guide rods. The slide 13 is rectilinearly movable along an X-axis of an orthogonal triaxial system further comprising a Y-axis and a Z-axis. The first bearing means comprises a first bearing sleeve 19A1 and a second bearing sleeve 19A2, the slide being supported against movement along the Y-axis and Z-axis by the first bearing sleeve 19A1 and a first guide rod 17A and against movement along the Z-axis by the second bearing sleeve 19A2 and the first guide rod 17A. The second bearing means comprises a bearing sleeve 19B which together with the second guide rod 17B supports the slide against movement along the Y-axis and the Z-axis.
