DOOR INSPECTION SYSTEM 'DOORCHECK' FITTED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH A HEPCOMOTION TRANSFER SYSTEM

摘要

L &_P Elekroautomatisations, based in Willich, Germany, develop and design highly accurate test systems that often entail the use of linear guide systems. Recently, the designers were tasked to design new highly-efficient testing equipment for a BMW supplier to test vehicle doors. The application required a high precision, low maintenance linear guidance solution, for which the design team contacted HepcoMotion, The application was for an established customer, who was already running nine 'DoorCheck' inspection systems from L&_P, all of which were fitted with a traditional chain drives. On this occasion, the machine was installed with HepcoMotion's PRT2 for combined circular and linear motion, allowing different applications to occur on only a single track system. The PRT2 track system consists of straight guide rails and curved segments, and uses HepcoMotion's flagship V guide bearings.
