APPLICATION PROFILE HepcoMotion ®

HANDLING
Pick and Place Application – Components
Products used – DLS & HB25C

High duty and high speed

are demanding requirements
for any system especially
when the machine has to
work 24 hrs / day.
The ease at which Hepco
products DLS and Heavy Duty
Compact Beam can be
constructed to provide the
necessary play free motion
were key factors in the
Customers selection.

The X axis travel over approx 7m is

achieved by two DLS4 units in parallel
linked with a drive shaft and is servo
motor driven.
The 2m cross Y motion is again achieved
by the use of a DLS. However, running
parallel is a “slave” unit to provide
sufficient rigidity and accuracy to
ensure the components can be located
accurately.
The Z axes 1m stroke uses a Heavy Duty Compact Beam rack driven with slides on all 4 edges,
again this will provide accurate no play movement.
The whole system is picking and placing pistons for pumps, and the system has to move up and
down twice and also forward and backward 7m all in 7 secs max. This cycle is repeated 500
times for one setting.
The loads being carried are of course relatively light with the Z axis specifically carrying 10kg.
Ease of mounting, simple design and trouble free motion were considerations that ensured
HepcoMotion products were specified for this application.
