FOR AMENDMENTS & UPDATES VISIT www.bwc.com and select library button Hepco DTS – Driven Track System 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...

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, customers may choose from...

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 ADHESIVE APPLICATION GLASS CUTTING PAINT SPRAYING Intermittent Motion: Where reliable positioning of a...

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...

Belt adjustment on all pulleys Drive Shaft Pulley - 132 tooth AT10 Circumference = 1320mm 85 Idler Shaft Carriage spacing 110 min

Pulley - 60 tooth AT10 Circumference = 600mm

Selection and Specification Dynamic parameters Excess speed combined with overloading of the carriages can result in disengagement of the trip latches at the bends where the carriages rapidly accelerate and decelerate. Maximum speed will also be affected if the center of gravity of the carriage load overhangs externally, or if the system is configured in the vertical plane. Some high-speed applications may benefit from the optional fixed method of connection from belt to carriage, in which case a torque limiter on the primary drive should be considered. Such overload protection may not be...

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. The DTS will produce the Nominal Linear force at speeds ranging from 50% to 100% of the Nominal Linear Speed....
