Universal linear motion system offered
A universal linear motion system offers a wide range of sizes, types and precision grades to meet most automation application needs.
HepcoMotion said that demand for its multi-axis systems and sub-assemblies is growing steadily A typical request would be for an aluminium framework forming a chassis onto which is mounted any combination of the HepcoMotion products

Until the introduction of the Gradient GrinderT, kitchen furniture manufacturers and stonemasons had little option but to create drainage holes in marble and granite worktops by hand.
The company's product lines offers considerable scope for selecting the optimum component or system for the machine.
There is a wide selection of corrosion resistant products that allow the building of machinery and handling systems for the food, scientific and electronic manufacturing sectors.
At the UK's Machine Building 2008 exhibition, HepcoMotion will also show its exceptionally wide range of off-the-shelf linear motion components for users with in-house design and assembly facilities.

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.
The company's GV3 universal linear motion system is a natural choice for bespoke system specification, it told manufacturingtalk.com, as it offers such a wide range of sizes, types and precision grades to meet most automation uses.
An optimum linear system can be specified that suits most performance criteria and budgets, said HepcoMotion.
At Machine Building 2008 will be the recently extended Utilitrak linear motion system.
It is designed to give smooth, high speed motion and is a highly economical linear guide.
It provides a narrow, compact profile that is well suited to a variety of production environments, said HepcoMotion.
Thanks to the introduction of standard bridge connections, parallel Utilitrak systems can now be installed with ease.
Utilitrak is an ideal choice for running two systems in parallel where one slide uses DualVee guide wheels and other MadeWell crowned rollers.
As precise parallelism is difficult to achieve it is not uncommon for mounting surfaces to be slightly out of true.
The Utilitrak design compensates for these mounting errors and does not require absolute parallelism for accurate operation.
DualVee Motion Technology has also been subject to further development to extend its application potential.
The various new options that have been introduced as a result of this initiative will benefit light duty applications in the clean rooms through to rugged transport systems working in hostile environments.
This linear guidance technology is now more flexible and even more cost-effective.
The introduction of a long carriage version of the HepcoMotion SBD Sealed Belt Drive considerably widens the scope of this proven linear system.
As well as offering higher capacity it is more rigid and therefore has greater positioning accuracy.
And for those seeking a streamlined system with the ability to accommodate multi-directional loads it provides a good solution.
These benefits are in addition to those inherent in the SBD design whose purpose is to meet the needs of high loads and demanding duty cycles. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
