Application Examples<br />
High Speed Marking Machine<br />
X axis: The Hepco Double Edge<br />
Spacer Slide with rack ➀, assures<br />
parallelism between teeth and ‘V’<br />
faces of the Slide, providing<br />
smooth motion with low<br />
backlash. Slides are<br />
attached to proprietary<br />
frame building systems<br />
using Hepco T section<br />
location strip ➁ (send for<br />
information sheet No. ➀<br />
<strong>GV3</strong>101).<br />
Y axis: Hepco Single Edge Spacer<br />
Slides are mounted wide apart for<br />
increased stiffness. The lower rack cut<br />
slide ➂ enables direct drive via Hepco<br />
Pinion.<br />
Double Row Bearings for high radial loads<br />
and Cap Seals ➃ to provide lubrication for<br />
long life, are used in this high speed<br />
application.<br />

Compact Rack Driven X-Z Movement<br />
X axis: Outward facing Single Edge Spacer Slides<br />
➀ are mounted sufficiently far apart to provide the<br />
required rigidity and to accommodate the drive<br />
Pinion. A compact design is achieved by<br />
mounting the Bearings on a common plate<br />
which also supports the Slides for the Z axis.<br />
Z<br />
Z axis: Inward facing Single Edge Spacer<br />
Slides allow the motor and drive Pinion to be<br />
accommodated adjacent to the gripper<br />
housing. Blind Hole Fixing Bearings ➁ are used<br />
as through hole fixing is not possible.<br />
X<br />
➀<br />
Lubricators ➂ are used throughout, for friction<br />
free application of oil to minimise risk of stalling<br />
the stepper motors.<br />
Telescopic Loader<br />
➂<br />
Hepco Flat Slides ➀ combined with<br />
Slimline Bearings ➁ produce a low<br />
profile slide system enabling a<br />
compact telescopic system to be<br />
designed. Hepco Racks ➂ are easily<br />
incorporated to provide an efficient<br />
means of driving via pinions of<br />
suitable ratio.<br />
