CORROSION RESISTANCE – A STANDARD SOLUTION FROM HEPCOMOTION®
MORECorrosion resistant linear motion systems are a must in many industries. Whilst most manufacturers make provision for this need HepcoMotion® goes one important step further. The company’s policy is not just to offer a stainless steel or corrosion resistant option, it is to provide this choice within its standard range. From a specifier’s point of view this brings important benefits. Instead of being a ‘special’ subject to long lead times, popular sizes of the HepcoMotion® corrosion resistant linear motion systems are available ex-stock.

PRECISION OF MANUFACTURE WAS THE KEY COMPONENT
MOREThe ability to butt linear rails together quickly and easily in the field and be assured that journals would run over the joints without any loss of precision was one of the main reasons why the HepcoMotion® SL2 Stainless Steel system was selected by OC Robotics for a nuclear application. The company is the world’s leading manufacturer of snake-arm robots for use in a wide range of industries including aerospace, security and nuclear.

BEAM ASSEMBLY ENSURES UNINTERRUPTED PAPER PRODUCTION
MOREThe volumes involved in the production of paper demands most of the work be undertaken on fully automated machines and systems. As any failure on these machines could have serious commercial and financial consequences a major manufacturer in the sector has installed a manual back-up assembly for the edge-trimming process; this purpose-built unit was supplied by HepcoMotion®.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM SHORTLISTED
MOREThanks to an innovative design by Taunton based Richard Huish College student, Chris Keates - National Hill Climb Association motorbikers can now cut their start times substantially. As part of his course work for A-level design and technology Chris, who lives in Wellington, designed a sprung suspension mechanism to go on the front fork of his scrambler bike. The system caught the eye of the judging panel in this year’s Audi Foundation Young Designer of the Year Award and Chris won through to the national semi-finals.
