New product launch
HepcoMotion® is a pioneer in circulation and continuous motion and at MACH 2010 the company will be featuring a brand new system that reinforces its pre-eminence in this field. This will be the first public demonstration of this highly comprehensive system whose main features will the subject of a range of video displays on the stand.
New sealed actuator
Since its introduction, the HepcoMotion® SBD sealed belt drive linear actuator range has been a runaway success. Designed for high duty applications, these products provide an extremely clean linear solution that keep on working where other systems fail.
New at MACH 2010 will be a new small size addition to the range. The SBD 15-60 is based on a linear ball guide and is supplied in increments of 60mm to 6000mm in one piece; unlimited lengths can be achieved by joining the beams.
HepcoMotion® uniquely offers stainless steel as a standard choice in all its ranges and the SBD 15-60 is no exception to this rule. And naturally it is also fully compatible with the company’s MCS Machine Construction System, allowing it to be incorporated into any bespoke automation system or machine.
Dedicated actuators for X-Y-Z
The creation of an X-Y-Z system, each axis of which performs optimally, will also be a focus at MACH 2010. HepcoMotion® will emphasise that using general purpose actuators throughout the system isn’t good practice as this doesn’t factor in the specific and different demands on each axis. Its X-Y-Z systems use a different actuator in each axis resulting in greater overall efficiency, problem-free production and a long service life.
In a typical HepcoMotion® system, the X-axis would be a PDU2 linear actuator with ultra-high performance Herculane® wheel technology and the Y-axis, the high moment load version of the same product, the PDU2M. The enhanced linear force and higher gearing needs of the Z-axis are ideally met by the stainless steel, lead-screw driven PSD80, another product that uses Herculane® wheels.
All units fit together using standard components and are easily integrated into frames or more complex machines. The system can be specified as individual parts, in kit form or fully-assembled – HepcoMotion® also provides a complete turnkey service.
