The popularity of the HepcoMotion® MCS aluminium frame and machine construction system grows year on year, not just in the UK but across the world. Indeed, to keep pace with demand HepcoMotion® has now established a separate factory for the extensive MCS range. The dedicated facility is adjacent to the company’s main production site for its linear motion products, in Tiverton, Devon.

HepcoMotion® linear and continuous motion systems are particularly well suited to the rigors of offshore and underwater engineering. Typical requirements are for ring slide and driven systems for sub-sea cutting, scanning or plotting and heavy duty lifting systems for guiding masts on drilling platforms. Proven HepcoMotion® components are chosen for their ability to perform reliably in arduous conditions and at this year’s Offshore Europe, HepcoMotion® will be focusing on this strength.

Reliability and minimal maintenance are essential qualities for any components and systems specified for processing and packaging automation and for this reason HepcoMotion® is the supplier of choice for many companies. At TOTAL 2013, this British manufacturer will be showing linear and continuous motion products that best meet the needs of high speed and high duty applications that are characteristic in these sectors.

The MCS aluminium framework system from HepcoMotion® allows a customised workbench and storage solution to be made from standard elements, so the customer can achieve a bespoke product at an off-the-shelf price. The end result is lightweight, robust and can include a choice of accessories to make it 100% fit-for-purpose.

Innovative linear and rotary guidance for fast and cost effective automation

To achieve a competitive edge manufacturers are increasingly automating their processes, making better products for lower costs. In many cases off-the-shelf automation systems can do the job but in others this is not an option. And this is a field in which linear and continuous motion specialist, HepcoMotion® is breaking new ground.
