Having specialised in linear motion technology for nearly 40 years HepcoMotion® has accumulated a wealth of application know-how. This knowledge bank is invaluable as it allows the company to refer to proven solutions when recommending a linear product for a given application. It is also a vital resource in the design of multi-axis systems and sub-assemblies, demand for which is growing year on year.

For HepcoMotion® systems’ customers fall into two distinct groups. The first largely comprises OEMs who have the resources to design application-specific systems and to assemble them in-house. Their need is predominantly for linear motion components. The other group, mainly end-users, also need such systems but generally have neither the dedicated knowledge nor the resources to undertake special projects. And it is to meet this need that HepcoMotion® has developed its systems service.

System requirements also generally fall into two distinct groups. The first is undertaken completely by HepcoMotion® and these systems involve the integration of its standard products into a complete mechanical sub-assembly. Typically the HepcoMotion® MCS aluminium framework system forms a chassis onto which is mounted any combination of its linear motion products. With the benefit of its large manufacturing facility in Devon, the company is able to manufacture on site any special brackets or mounting elements that may be required.

“Our resources both in terms of our design and manufacturing capability and applications knowledge allow us to provide this added-value service to our customers,” explains Sales Director, Chris Rees.
