SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING SHOW PREVIEW
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FROM HEPCO
AT SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING
HepcoMotion will be showcasing a selection
of its industry leading range of linear
motion products at stand G230 at Southern
Manufacturing.
From track systems for robot automation
to complete production lines performing
multi-assembly tasks, Hepco’s products have
been developed to provide designers with a
multitude of solutions and are the originators
of the V-guide system.
Key products on the stand include the V
guide linear system: GV3 – designed to serve
a diverse range of automation and linear
applications and is widely used in the packing
industry for applications such as a telescopic
pick and place gantry, transport system or
multi-lane row divider to name but a few.
Following a collaboration between Swiss
mechatronics firm, Stäubli, German
automation company, Beckhoff, and
HepcoMotion, visitors will be able to view a
Hepco GFX system with state of the art high
speed pick and place robots (pictured).
Also on the stand will be the DTS2 driven
track system – an ideal choice for a packaging
application that requires high positional
accuracy and a demanding duty cycle.
DTS2 is ideally suited to form the
foundation of an automated production
cell, to guide and transfer a component
around the system between high speed
automation of assembly processes.
With Hepco’s experienced team on hand
to discuss applications and product
offerings, they look forward to meeting
visitors at stand G230.
IPG PHOTONICS WILL BE DEMONSTRATING THE MULTI-AXIS
WORKSTATION AT SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING 2019
The Multi-Axis Workstation is a Class 1
laser system that is fully compatible with
the full range of welding laser sources
at powers from 150 to 8,000 Watts. The
system has been designed to have small
parts made easy; it is particularly well-
suited to dis-similar joining applications
such as battery, busbar, electronic
components and batches of mechanical
parts. Side panels remove for increased
automated part feeds.
A working envelope of 500 x 300 x 300
mm is available for your tooling. Up to
5-axis operation is possible and a range
of standard options such as vision and
power measurement are featured. The
system may be configured to order for a
number of specific fiber laser processing
applications.
When fitted with a low cost, high
brightness single mode YLR-150-QCW
laser the system is very well suited to fine
welding of similar and dissimilar materials.
Fitting a multi kilo-Watt laser enables
the system to automatically run deeper
keyhole welding applications. Specifying
a ‘wobble’ welding-head, further opens
up the range of joining applications and
materials.
IPG’s systems group offer a range of
cutting and welding systems that
include fiber lasers, process heads
and motion systems. IPG also have
extensive experience in customising
their workstations for high volume
manufacturing applications.
