DLS Linear Transmission and Positioning System - HEPCO - #3

Text version of the page

Introducing the HepcoMotion® DLS Linear Transmission 1 Drive Options - As Simple or Sophisticated as You Need To satisfy increasing customer requirements, Hepco has upgraded its popular DLS range of linear transmissions. A new range of cost effective, high quality AC geared motors and worm gearboxes has been added to create a complete linear drive solution which is ideally suited to many positioning applications. Motors up to 1.1kW are offered as are gearboxes with ratios from 5:1 to 75:1. This provides driving forces to 1225N and linear speeds from zero to 2m/s (up to 5+m/s for systems using special motors). The reduced engineering package gives the power, flexibility and reliability of an electrical positioning drive at a price which is competitive with lesser pneumatic systems. A range of high performance AC motor drives manufactured by Allen-Bradley Rockwell Automation allows the unit to be driven in end-to-end applications without further controls, or the unit can be linked together with a customer’s PLC to provide more complex point-to-point control. Customers requiring more sophisticated function and control may specify Hepco’s gearboxes engineered into the drive of the DLS which can link with servo or stepper motor systems and controls. Using this method, the DLS can address even the most demanding and dynamic multi-axis positioning requirements. Customers wishing to make their own arrangements for the drive may purchase any Hepco DLS with a drive shaft. In addition to the 2 sizes of standard axes, Hepco has added a new cantilever axis. This is ideally suited to applications where the carriage is stationary and the beam is the moving part, as the motor and cables remain stationary. The cantilever axis will be the best selection in many single axis duties as well as being the preferred choice for the Y or Z axis in many multi-axis machines. Hepco will provide the necessary mechanical and electrical components to complete a full-function unit, including switches, mounting clamps, shafts, couplings, gearboxes, motors, drives, brakes and torque limiters. Hepco is always keen to help customers with their applications, and meeting your specific requirement is our aim, even if the solution is not contained in this catalogue. The DLS range is compatible with aluminium machine construction systems from Hepco-MCS and other major manufacturers. Please contact Hepco for an application data sheet.
