Belt launch set for Mach 2006
Linear motion firm to add belt driven system its stand-alone driven system range to provide the higher level of performance required in automated production.
Although Mach 2006 will be the first time linear motion firm HepcoMotion has appeared at a true production engineering event, it is a market that the company has served for many years With demand for its stand-alone driven systems at an all time high, it is using to event to launch a belt driven system

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.
This addition provides the higher level of performance required in automated production.
The firm's Driven System units are either belt, screw or pneumatically operated covering applications from low to high load at fast or slow speed.
If precision positioning is required, ballscrew drives are available, as are corrosive resistant versions.

The DTS Driven Track System uses the firm's PRT Precision ring slides and track system as its basis.
DTS is a complete unit ready to be incorporated into a continuous positioning or dedicated assembly machine.
HepcoMotion will also use the show to launch an upgrade to the HD product with a larger beam, slides to suit and higher capacity bearings.
For heavier gantry applications, the additional components will let system designers contract x-y-z axes with a combination of different HD parts sized to carry a specific load.
A further development based around the heavier application is the MHD (maximum heavy duty) system designed to transport robots along linear tracks.
Using flat track technology and high capacity rollers fitted into cast iron blocks, MHD will deal with loads from 1 to 14tonne.
Samples of these developments will be exhibited.
Also on show is the improved MCS machine construction system.
This is a comprehensive system of profiles and fixing elements including brackets, flexi connectors and accessories.
It enables complete frames to be constructed by the user from components or supplied flat-packed for simple re-assembly.
Complete frames can also be supplied.
Reduced material costs, improved flexibility and assembly time savings are the main benefits of this aluminium system over steel alternatives.
The MCS is compatible with the new MFS machine fencing system that is making its exhibition debut.
Designed to provide an economic alternative to steel fence constructions, the MFS is for use in all areas of the factory but typically around machine installations.
The rigidity is provided by elements of the company's MCS aluminium profile products.
Vertical posts are available in two sections and secured into foundation blocks with standard T-bolts and nuts.
A heavier duty version of this MCS section provides additional strength for long, unsupported runs, corners, returns and around doorframes.
Options and accessories let the system be tailored to requirements. Request free introductory details about products from HepcoMotion ...
