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.
The first is undertaken completely by HepcoMotion and these systems involve the integration of its standard products into a complete mechanical sub-assembly.
Typically the HepcoMotion MCS aluminium framework system forms a chassis onto which is mounted any combination of its linear motion products.
With the benefit of its large manufacturing facility in Devon, the company is able to manufacture on site any special brackets or mounting elements that may be required.
"Our resources both in terms of our design and manufacturing capability and applications knowledge allow us to provide this added-value service to our customers", explains Sales Director, Chris Rees.
"Design cost is minimised for the customer as it is very likely that we will have worked on a similar configuration before".
"It can then be tailored to the new application with just minor changes".
All systems are thoroughly tested in the factory before being stripped down into easy-assembly modules for dispatch with a 3D drawing to the customer and all parts carry a one-year warranty.
The breadth of choice within each of the HepcoMotion product lines offers considerable scope in selecting the optimum component or system for the job.
This includes a wide selection of corrosion resistant products that allow the creation of bespoke systems for the food, scientific and electronic manufacturing sectors.
Several of the HepcoMotion standard driven products are available with a choice of motor but while the company is happy to integrate a simple AC motor into a bespoke system it is quick to emphasise that it is not a motion control specialist.
For systems requiring this additional expertise HepcoMotion has forged a working partnership with SmartDrive.
SmartDrive is an independent UK company dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of products for motion control applications.
This covers stepper motor drives, servo drives, controllers and integrated systems together with a range of motors and other ancillary equipment.
Together HepcoMotion and SmartDrive are able to provide a complete turnkey package to suit any linear motion need. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
