MACHINE BUILDING & AUTOMATION 2009 - HepcoMotion stand number - 1010

Easy automation is the main focus of the HepcoMotion® stand at Machine Building 2009. A world renowned specialist in linear motion technology, this British company is also carving out a niche for itself as a designer and manufacturer of complete linear systems. All the customer has to do is provide an outline specification. HepcoMotion® will then design it on 3D CAD, accommodate any modifications that need to be made, assemble and thoroughly test the system before despatching it for integration. This eliminates risk for the specifier as HepcoMotion® has the expertise and manufacturing capability to create a system that is fully fit for purpose.

HepcoMotion® has many standard design solutions to suit a variety of applications from fully automated pick and place to manual assembly operations. Common products used are its GV3 linear motion system, DLS driven linear system, HDS2 heavy duty and the MCS machine construction system but indeed any of its products can be incorporated. The standard range of linear motion products that HepcoMotion® offers is unmatched. Yet at this year’s show additional products will be introduced to provide an even wider choice for simple and effective automation. The new products will expand its driven system range.

For the customer who requires a stand alone unit either belt, screw or pneumatically operated, the HepcoMotion® driven range covers all applications from low to high load and slow to fast speed. Where exceptional positioning accuracy is a pre-requisite its ballscrew drives are the recommended option. If the application is in an aggressive environment or where hygiene is paramount, corrosion resistant and stainless steel products are available. Unusually these are both choices within the standard range, they are not costly specials.

Complementing these elements are HepcoMotion® continuous motion products. They provide low frictional movement for a multitude of tasks and are especially useful where space is at a premium. Complete systems are available with the drive and machine base as in the DTS Driven Track System or as a ring and track system with assembled carriages, the drive then being incorporated within the machine design.

In addition to the mechanical guidance elements, HepcoMotion® systems include all the necessary fixing plates and machine framework that can be either supplied completely assembled or in kit form, ready for reassembly on site. Systems range from simple single axis to multi-motion configurations but typically provide x, y and z lifting motion. To complete the package HepcoMotion® also offers a wide choice of motors and control options.
