Motion Without Limits TM DTS Driven Track System Motion Without Limits ® HepcoMotion®

Complementary to the Hepco Ring Slides & Track System*, the DTS is a ready-assembled unit providing a facility to drive Hepco carriages around a Hepco Track circuit under either continuous or intermittent motion. At all times the carriages are rigidly guided along the precision track and can thus maintain accurate alignment and resist deflection from external loads. The carriages are usually positioned at equal pitches as specified by the customer and are connected to a high strength timing belt. Aware that customer’s integrated equipment could be damaged in the event of a jam, an ingenious...

System Composition Pulley Bearing Units - with sealed bearing cartridges can be adjusted to provide tension for the belt. The bearings are ‘greased for life’. Any one of the pulley bearing units may be specified as the drive unit, which will then incorporate a 25 mm diameter plain shaft extension for motor mounting or for the attachment of other power sources. More than one drive unit per system may be specified. Drive pulleys have teeth, idler pulleys are plain. The drive motor may be selected from a range of compatible AC Geared Motors supplied by Bishop-Wisecarver. Alternatively,...

Applications Typical Applications Continuous Motion: Due to the predictable path and high stiffness of the Hepco DTS, it is possible to perform accurate tasks on the move in precise registration with other mechanisms. Performing tasks on the move enables slow processes to be carried out at a fast rate. Work can be carried out on the periphery of a product by designing the circuit to mimic the product shape. The Hepco DTS is therefore the ideal choice for applications such as: High Speed: LETTER SORTING LABELLING DEVELOPING PRINTING ADHESIVE APPLICATION PACKAGING LAMINATING GLASS CUTTING...

Applications Application Example Optical Lens Assembly Lenses are loaded by pick and place units onto clamp fixtures mounted on each carriage. The top carriages are accurately located using the Hepco Carriage Locking System. Optical adhesive is applied between the lenses, which then pass through an ultra violet light box to activate the hardener. The lenses are finally inspected for optical clarity and then released onto an accept or reject conveyor. On the return, the empty fixtures are brushed clean. The vertical orientation of the system allows excess adhesive to drip onto a collector...

Selection and Specification Specifying system parameters 1 Specify dynamic parameters Carriage load. External forces. Full velocity profile including accelerations, dwells, speeds, duty cycle and required life. 2 Make an initial selection Consider the physical size and weight of the component to be carried and make an initial selection of system size. Parts mounted to the carriage can overhang the sides as the design allows clearance. As a guide to weights a size 25 carriage would typically be used up to 20 kg with 40 kg being usual for size 44. Both systems can carry higher loads than this...

Selection and Specification Additional sizes and more detailed information can be found in the DLS (Driven Linear Transmission and Positioning System). Note that considerably higher linear forces can be achieved by incorporating more than one drive unit utilizing geared motors of the WG7 design. This configuration gives the advantage of sharing the drive load between pulley bearing units. Alternatively, Bishop-Wisecarver can supply the DTS drive unit shaft(s) prepared to receive the customer’s drive source. 8 Nominal Linear Working Nominal Linear Motor Power Motor Type Gearbox Ratio Gearbox...

The operating instructions, mechanical guarding and electrical safety are the responsibility of the user incorporating the DTS into their machine, and these should be designed in line with the requirements...
