Introduction HepcoMotion Guidance System For Beckhoff XTS Systems Linear motion experts HepcoMotion have worked with Beckhoff to develop specialised versions of the PRT2 and 1-Trak guidance systems to work with the Beckhoff XTS eXtended Transport System. This option meets the needs of higher duty XTS applications where motion profiles and long term durability requirements are particularly demanding. The Beckhoff XTS eXtended Transport System uses linear motor technology to drive independently controlled movers around a track. This provides a solution for complex, high speed motion profiles up...

GFX 1-Trak and GFX 1-Trak Lite System Composition HepcoMotion’s GFX 1-Trak systems include a patented curved track form, providing the optimum mover path for 180° motor modules. There are two options available: GFX 1-Trak systems are supplied with an integral base and motor-mounting structure. These systems are limited to a maximum length of 10 straight motor modules (2.5m). GFX 1-Trak Lite is a spacer slide version of Hepco’s 1-Trak guidance system. It can be provided as a kit of components for mounting on a custom back plate, or as a complete assembly. Its length is only limited by the...
