On a specially developed demonstration unit HepcoMotion® will show that with the correct choice of linear actuator, each axis will operate optimally. The company has developed a family of actuators to address the different characteristics in each axis. If required, these elements can then be incorporated into a chassis made from its comprehensive MCS machine construction system and given intelligent control through HepcoMotion®’s partnership with Smart Drive.
The demonstrator will show the HepcoMotion® PDU2 linear actuator operating as the X-axis foundation of the system. This hugely popular product features the ultra-high performance Herculane® wheel technology in a compact and cost-effective belt driven unit.
As a Y-axis typically requires high load capacity and stiffness against twisting loads, the PDU2M with high moment load capacity will feature. And the needs of the Z-axis are different again, with enhanced linear force and higher gearing a common requirement.
The new PSD80 is the ideal choice for this task, with drive from a super-smooth stainless steel lead screw operating with a bearing polymer nut. It too uses Herculane® wheel technology in a unit that is perfectly matched to the other axes in terms of performance, size and cost.
HepcoMotion® supplies it X-Y-Z systems as individual parts, in kit form or as fully assembled units.
