Hepco driven track system range expands

The company states that whilst the original DTS may be the right choice for many applications, the DTS+ is suitable for applications with higher loads, a vertical orientation, or where the free space inside the track circuit is required to accommodate or integrate additional equipment. As with DTS and DTS2, DTS+ comes as a complete package incorporating drive pulleys and belts, together with all the ancillary mechanical parts, limiting design time and ensuring quick installation.

The robust track system was initially developed to meet the needs of Hepco's Asian market, where DTS+ is established with proven success in the production of leading electronic systems, and has recently been a reliable solution in other applications including those producing Covid-19 testing kits in Korea. DTS+ can handle loads of up to 400N and provide speeds of up to 1.5m/s when carrying lighter loads. It is also available with a carriage locking system which ensures that even with a higher payload and at a greater speed, it can provide positional accuracy of +/-0.05mm. Hepco confirms that the new DTS+ is available in a wide choice of system sizes including 25-351, 44-468, 44-612 and 76-799 with each system size offering three pulley options. The number of carriages is limited only by their size and the required pocket between them on the system, and the company sees product assembly, packaging and food production as just three key applications areas in which the new system will deliver advantages.
