High‑Load Dovetail Slide for Aerospace Test Rig

Case Study 
 

An aerospace OEM needed a custom dovetail slide to handle 8,000 lbf loads over 500 mm of travel. Gilman delivered a hardened‑way assembly with precision‑ground dovetails and integrated position feedback—achieving ±0.001" repeatability and reducing setup time by 30%.
