Designed to make your job easierIntegrating heavy lifts into your automation projects should not be complicated. With the LINAK® LC3 IC lifting column, you get a ready to use lifting solution from one single supplier. This reduces complexity, eliminates time-consuming calculations and testing, and simplifies both dimensioning and commissioning of sub-components. The result is a reliable and efficient lifting solution for industrial environments.Built for machine builders like youFirst deployed with cobot palletizers, the LC3 IC has already proven its reliability as industrial equipment in real-world applications. Now, it is even more versatile – designed to adapt to your specific automation requirements and applications.The Danish system integrator ‘AKEA’ is one of the customers that got to test the product before launch, and they are impressed:“The LC3 IC lifting column is a no-brainer for machine builders because it combines high performance with easy integration. Instead of assembling complex and expensive servo solutions, you get a complete, tested product that is ready to use – both mechanically and electrically. This means less development time, lower costs, and easier maintenance with built-in diagnostics functions. Once the machine is running, the operator is able to identify faults easily without calling for support – and this is where the LC3 IC offers a huge advantage. If the machine is down, costs quickly add up, making a reliable solution essential.”Save time with seamless integrationWith an integrated controller, the LC3 IC eliminates the need for extra components and third-party suppliers. Forget about expensive workarounds to ensure compatibility with your machine interface. LINAK offers a wide range of industrial interfaces for effortless communication with your system. This will benefit your project from initial integration to daily operation at the customer site: Faster setup – get your system up and running quickly Lower costs – reduce the need for additional parts Fewer failure points – increase reliability and uptimeReady to simplify your next automation project?

Additionally, the data provided through the interface further empowers you with critical insights, strengthening system management.What does this mean for you? Enhanced control – gain more control over your system with instant access to performance data, allowing you to make more informed decisions and optimize operations Simplified troubleshooting – reduce maintenance time with real-time diagnostics Increased reliability – minimize downtime and keep operations running efficientlyScale with confidence – run multiple columns in parallelNeed a flexible and scalable lifting solution? The LC3 IC allows you to run 2-8 columns in parallel, creating a stable and synchronized lifting system. With a decade of experience behind this technology, the LC3 IC ensures that no columns fall behind – preventing imbalance and protecting your application from damage.The German system integrator ‘ek robotics’ shares their experience with the LINAK LC3 IC lifting columns, highlighting how the product exceeded their expectations, and addressed previous challenges with precision and integration efficiency:“Initially, we were hesitant to use lifting columns due to past challenges with parallelism in multi-column systems. However, the introduction of master-follower systems eliminated those concerns. The LINAK LC3 IC lifting columns have proven to be a highly reliable solution, delivering precise, problem-free movement to various positions. Given our limited time for custom designs, we depend on ready-made components that integrate seamlessly. LINAK’s precise parallel software and positioning accuracy give us confidence, allowing us to focus on mechanical and electrical integration.”Key benefits: Ready to use lifting column – a convenient shortcut to speed up development Collection of interfaces – providing integration flexibility to meet the requirements of various industries and applications Run columns in parallel – to create a solid base capable of handling high loads or to increase stability in large applicationsAbout LINAKLINAK provides electric actuation solutions that improve people’s quality of life and working environment.

Thirty years ago, LINAK U.S. Inc. was established in Louisville, Kentucky, marking a significant chapter for the company and the visionary leadership of founder and CEO, Bent Jensen. As the company celebrates this milestone, we reflect on the incredible journey that LINAK U.S. has navigated. Following its humble beginnings in a small garage in 1994, it quickly expanded beyond the constraints of confined space, leading Bent to face a pivotal decision that would shape the future: to take a huge risk with a significant investment or maintain the status quo. Fortunately, his decision to invest and expand resulted in LINAK U.S. contributing nearly a third of the global company’s sales three decades down the line. The decision to move beyond Denmark's borders and establish the first LINAK production plant outside of the country was a strategic embodiment of starting our global reach and a commitment to serving customers all over the world.   Embracing Challenges and Thriving From its start in a garage—echoing origin stories of tech giants such as Apple, Amazon, and HP—LINAK U.S. demonstrated an innovative spirit and commitment to growth. This commitment is echoed in the company’s ever-increasing footprint. Starting from a single building with 49,500 square feet, LINAK U.S. now encompasses over 360,000 square feet across three buildings, with room to expand on the vast 39-acre campus. This growing infrastructure is a physical representation of thriving operations and future potential in the market.   Transformative Impact Across Industries The company’s influence has been transformative in the US, helping to shape various industries with its technology. In the '90s, LINAK revolutionized hospital bed systems through close collaboration with customers. Spurring manufacturers to move from AC to DC powered movement they were able to provide a safer and more reliable power source for caregivers. It also didn’t take long for LINAK to become the pioneer in the height-adjustable desk market after developing the first complete system for sit-stand desks. And more recently, LINAK is helping move industries like mobile agriculture into the future with electrification, a trend that will continue for many industries as companies look to improve their applications as well as their overall carbon footprint. These milestones underscore the role LINAK has had as a catalyst for innovation in all the industries we serve.   People: The Heart of LINAK U.S. Behind the numbers and the facilities are the people—the company’s greatest asset. From the first employee, Per R. Andersen, who relocated with his family to Louisville from Denmark to bring Bent's vision to life in the U.S. market, to a team surpassing well over 300 members—each individual has played a defining role. This growth and focus on people within LINAK has been fueled by the company’s passion for helping customers. With customer dedicated engineers, service, sales experts, marketing, and quality management all locally providing industry-leading support.   Looking ahead, Magnus Conradsen, president of LINAK U.S., sees this unique combination of local production and people, and global capabilities and knowledge as what sets LINAK apart.   “We are looking forward to this next phase of our growth here in Louisville,” said Conradsen. “As we grow, our ability to improve more people’s quality of life and working environment through our products also expands. ‘We Improve Your Life’ is reflected in everything that we do, and our commitment to customers at every level of our business is what will help us achieve this mission.” - Magnus Conradsen, president LINAK U.S. Inc.   A Vision Sustained: The Journey Ahead As LINAK U.S. commemorates its 30th anniversary, the company looks back at a legacy of innovation and resilience but also forward to a future ripe with possibilities. Guided by the company’s values, its position as an innovation leader and its ability to drive change across a multitude of industries will continue to grow. This can already be seen with the company’s commitment to sustainability and the increased focus on the evolving customer expectations centered on the environment. Another example is in the electrification of the various industries the company serves where its products and solutions are tailored to meet each customers’ needs and help transform them into cutting-edge companies of tomorrow.
