Locators speed system assembly

Aluminium frame systems provide great savings in reduced build time and costs but with its MCS System, Hepco has taken this concept a stage further with the introduction of T-nut strip locators.

Aluminium frame systems provide great savings in terms of reduced build time and associated costs but with its MCS System, Hepco has taken this concept a stage further with the introduction of T-nut strip locators Increasingly complex machines can require hundreds of T-nuts to join profiles and subassemblies, with the location of each T-nut in the profile being a significant contributor to the overall assembly cost

Hepco's new T-nut strip locators speed up assembly by reducing the need to site individual T-nuts in its MCS aluminium profiles.

Made of aluminium and shaped to slide quickly into the MCS profile channels, the locators are available in various lengths, off-the-shelf.

They provide a highly secure, ready drilled location typically for attaching linear motion systems, such as Hepco's V-guides, or other machine components.

Resultant cost savings are particularly apparent on larger constructions and also if the machine has be dismantled and re-assembled at a different location.

Although the innovative T-nut strip is designed for the Hepco MCS family of profiles, it can be specially tailored to fit other systems. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
