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.

Anyone who has tried flipping a pancake to cook the reverse side knows it takes a degree of skill - and it’s no different in automated mass production. Indeed it is a process that continues to confound many bakery machine manufactures but not Sugden Limited in Nelson, Lancashire. They have developed a system that will flip pancakes with a high degree of efficiency, accuracy and repeatability and the HepcoMotion® DLS (Driven Linear System) is a key component in this success.

Precision ring track greatly simplifies new turret mechanism

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:00:00 GMT

For the label converting and finishing machinery manufacturer, A B Graphic International, the availability of an off-the-shelf ring track system allowed its designers to create a far more cost efficient mechanism for its new turret rewinder module. In place of a complex centre shaft arrangement to carry the turret disc, a HepcoMotion® PRT2 precision ring track system was specified instead. And not only did it greatly simplify the mechanism it also introduced other design advantages too.

Friction free linear movement in a harsh working environment

Without the development and fabrication work undertaken by the Norwich subcontracting company, F. W. Frost (Engineers) Limited, the accurate assembly of most uPVC doors could not be assured. Its sash centraliser system is a manufacturing fixture that allows the door to be mounted within the frame very accurately, ensuring that the lock and handle mechanism on the door will operate efficiently and the threshold clearance will be correct.

Standard stainless steel ring segment meets cost and performance criteria

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:00:00 GMT

Ease of integration was one reason cited by Jordan Valley Semiconductors for its selection of a HepcoMotion® stainless steel ring segment and bearings, but of equal importance was the cost efficiency of the product.

Quiet, discrete and reliable linear actuation for historic house extension

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:00:00 GMT

For the lion’s share of HepcoMotion® applications, the technical qualities of its linear slide systems are the primary consideration but for a recent architectural project, aesthetics were of equal importance. So too was the linear motion expertise that HepcoMotion® was able to supply. The company worked closely with the architect and the glazing contractors to provide a reliable and visually appealing solution.

Standard aluminium heavy duty beam guides nuclear robot

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:00:00 GMT

Lightweight for portability and easy handling, but rigid enough to be cantilevered, the HepcoMotion® HDS2 Heavy Duty Slide range proved to be the ideal choice for an application for Sellafield. The robust components were specified by OC Robotics as a method of introducing its snake-arm robot into a confined environment to perform visual and radiological inspection, remote handling, loose material sampling and water-jetting.

UK launch of a highly innovative continuous motion system

The new HepcoMotion® PRT2 “1-Trak” continuous motion system gives designers complete freedom in 2D bearing track design. It allows every conceivable configuration to be realised, far exceeding the scope of traditional technology that is limited to simple combinations of straight lines and curves. Indeed, with this new addition to the PRT2 family industry has an unprecedented choice of HepcoMotion® products from which to create cost efficient, space saving and highly reliable automation.
