Locking device provides safe platform
The extensive menu of design elements within Hepco's GV3 linear slide programme allows specifiers to create the optimum linear motion system to suit both application and budget.
System building expertise saves money
Designers interested in Hepco's system-building capability could do no better than pay the company a visit.
This is believed to be the only ring system available for arduous linear motion with an ability to support loads up to 40kN.
This new addition combines the flexibility and function of the popular HepcoMotion PRT ring track system with the size and strength of its HDS Heavy Duty Slide System.
All the elements are provided to create curved paths or closed circuits with ease.
In addition to its high capacity the product programme has been designed to include a very large module integral gear providing a highly efficient driving mechanism.
MHD Maximum Heavy Duty is the second newcomer to be highlighted at the show.
This introduces an additional size to the top end of the range giving the system the capacity to carry exceptional loads.
Supplied as a kit-of-parts, MHD basically comprises two components, a set of blocks each with three large, integral crowned rollers and secondly a pair of flat tracks.
Each block will take a maximum vertical load of 5 tonnes.
The excellent rigidity of the new HepcoMotion MFS Machine Fencing System is provided by elements of the company's proven MCS aluminium profile product range.
A wide choice of components allows the optimum structure to be created in any size and with standard or sliding doors, solid or mesh panels.
MFS provides a highly economical alternative to steel fence constructions and is ideal for use in all areas of the factory but typically around machine installations.
Two further driven products that save significant design and assembly time will also feature at Machine Building.
The DTS Driven Track System is a complete unit ready to be incorporated into a continuous positioning or dedicated assembly machine.
Carriages are propelled around an oval or rectangular track - with virtually unlimited straight length - driven by pulleys and a timing belt.
Thanks to its Herculane wheel technology the PDU2 Profile Driven Unit provides a combination of load capacity, speed and low friction that exceeds that of other similar sized units.
As it is fully compatible with Hepco's MCS Aluminium Frame System, PDU2 has found a particular niche as an element in single and multi-axis machine construction.
As well as the company's flagship GV3 universal linear motion system, other highlighted products include the newly extended HepcoMotion-ZIMM Screw Jack Building Block System, Winkel heavy duty bearings for high radial and axial loads and the HepcoMotion range of stand-alone belt conveyors.
