INIRA® accelerates RASOMA gantry assembly
INIRA® enables faster, safer and micron‑accurate rack installation—cutting clamping time by 50% and pinning by up to 98%
RASOMA boosts gantry efficiency with WITTENSTEIN’s INIRA® system
RASOMA is a German manufacturer of turning machines, special-purpose machines and automation solutions. For its large gantry systems, WITTENSTEIN supplied the INIRA® assembly solution, enabling drastically faster, simpler and more precise rack installation.
Our INIRA® assembly solution sets new benchmarks in gantry design
RASOMA’s gantry systems require up to 200 meters of rack and as many as 400 locating pins. Traditional clamping with screw clamps is time‑consuming and physically demanding.
WITTENSTEIN’s INIRA® assembly solution — combining INIRA® clamping, INIRA® adjusting and INIRA® pinning — revolutionizes installation. Integrated clamping devices, eccentric sleeves and chipless pinning reduce assembly time by up to 50% for rack clamping and up to 98% for pinning, while ensuring micron‑level precision and improved ergonomics. This enables significant time and cost savings, especially in large gantry applications handling heavy components such as railway wheels.
When up to 200 meters of rack have to be installed in every gantry structure and up to 400 locating pins fitted, you can achieve time and cost savings in the order of several person-days.
Comprehensive linear drive solutions under one roof.
INIRA® is a modular assembly system that simplifies the installation of linear racks in machine bed and gantry structures. Key benefits include:
- INIRA® clamping: integrated clamping mechanism replaces external screw clamps, saving up to 50% time.
- INIRA® adjusting and pinning: enables chipless, precise rack positioning and up to 98% faster pinning.
- Micron‑precision alignment: ensures the rack is perfectly parallel to the axis of motion.
- Ergonomic and safe workflow: reduces manual effort and physical strain for operators.
These features make INIRA® a benchmark for fast, accurate and safe rack mounting in demanding machine tool environments.

Gantry design with INIRA® is simple, fast and safe.
In order to mount racks to a machine bed when designing a gantry structure, they are normally clamped to a mounting base using several screw clamps and bolted tight. This clamping method requires considerable time and effort. INIRA® clamping makes all of this much easier because the clamping device is integrated in the rack. After inserting and screwing in the hexagon socket screws, eccentric assembly sleeves are fitted onto the heads. When the rack is then clamped to the mounting base by tightening the assembly sleeves, it is absolutely parallel to the pinion-gearbox unit’s axis of motion. After tightening the screws, the assembly sleeves can be removed again and used for the next rack. This revolutionary concept cuts the time for assembly by up to 50 percent. The simple and effortless assembly process reduces physical strain, and INIRA® clamping also opens up new design options depending on the application.
