Hepco takes on framework system
Whilst Hepco is not unique in marketing an aluminium frame building system, the fact that it is Europe's leading linear motion specialist adds considerable value to this modular product range.
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.
New clear face aluminium profiles with one or two clear faces are ideal for the construction of general frames for applications that call for higher cosmetic appearance.
Their clean-cut lines ensure there are fewer dirt traps, a benefit that also allows these new profiles to be used in clean rooms.
They are available in the most popular sizes - 40 x 40, 45 x 50 and 45 x 90mm.
Also new are Hepco's Flexi-Connectors which allow profiles to be joined quickly and economically.
Profiles can be joined end-to-end with a mitre joint or mid-section at any angle for greater flexibility.
New panel holders, glazing strips are now available for 8 and 10mm T-slots and panels from 2 to 8mm.
Aluminium cover strips, handles, cable clamps and self-tapping screws complete the new additions.
New mounting options for Hepco's GV3 linear slides, SL2 stainless steel slides, DLS driven linear system and HPS pneumatic linear system have also been introduced.
These allow MCS aluminium profiles to be fitted with a choice of Hepco linear slide system to suit the application.
They are supplied as complete assemblies, ready to install, or with independent fittings for customers who choose self-assembly.
Customers can specify profile machining and frame construction to supplied drawings or if they prefer to build their own system, specific cut and random lengths are also available.
Frame design and specification is aided by the use of the MCS CAD files, available in DWG and DXF formats. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
