Demand for HepcoMotion® multi-axis systems and sub-assemblies is growing year on year. A typical request would be for an aluminium framework forming a chassis onto which is mounted any combination of the HepcoMotion® products. And within each of the company’s product lines there is considerable scope for selecting the optimum component or system for the job. This includes a wide selection of corrosion resistant products that allow the creation of bespoke systems for food, scientific and electronic manufacturing sectors.

At Machine Building 2008 HepcoMotion® will emphasise this capability as well as its exceptionally wide range of off-the-shelf linear movement components for customers with in-house design and assembly facilities. The company’s flagship GV3 universal linear motion system is a natural choice for bespoke system specification as it offers such a wide range of sizes, types and precision grades to meet most automation application needs. As a result an optimum linear solution can be specified that suits most performance criteria and budgets.

Naturally several new products will be highlighted at Machine Building 2008 and amongst them will be the recently extended Utilitrak® linear motion system. This highly economical linear guide provides a narrow, compact profile that is well suited to a variety of industrial production environments where smooth, high speed motion is required. And now thanks to the introduction of standard bridge connections parallel Utilitrak systems can be installed with ease.

Utilitrak is an ideal choice for running two systems in parallel where one industrial slide uses DualVee guide professional wheels and other MadeWell™ crowned rollers.
