ミワ Product Lineup

The ultimate product for curved motion has evolved into ring systems and segments tailored for various applications across all industries. HepcoMotion's track systems, consisting of elliptical, rectangular, and S-shaped components, feature multiple carriages and allow for various assemblies as part of a continuous single system. Large-diameter ring guides and track systems can be created in any diameter. The rings can be manufactured to specific requirements and can be combined with HepcoMotion's V-guide bearings or MHD bearing blocks.

The HepcoMotion belt-driven track system is a complete package that includes the drive pulley, belt, and all the ancillary mechanical components necessary to form the system. The carriage is mounted on a single drive belt and features a trip latch mechanism to prevent damage to equipment and workpieces in the event of an overload. A geared motor or indexing unit can be easily fixed to the drive pulley. The belt-driven track system is available in two sizes of slide sections (25mm/Φ351 and 44mm/Φ612). - It can incorporate a multi-carriage that can lock at any position for precise assembly and positioning tasks. - It can be easily integrated into multifunctional machines as a transport and positioning system. - The track slide and end segments are mounted on custom aluminum sections, allowing the entire system to be installed at the customer's own location. - A quieter timing belt drive system compared to chain drives.

1. HepcoMotion GFX Guidance System - For Beckhoff XTS System HepcoMotion, a linear motion manufacturer, has developed a special version of the PRT2 and 1-Trak guidance systems in collaboration with Beckhoff, Germany, to support the Beckhoff XTS system. The Beckhoff XTS system uses linear motor technology to drive independently controlled movers on a track. This provides solutions for high-speed motion profiles at 4 m/s without sacrificing positional accuracy. The system integrates Hepco's patented 1-Trak guidance system with lightweight movers, offering smooth movement to Beckhoff's 180° motor module. 2. HepcoMotion DTS Drive Track System DTS is a pre-assembled unit that provides the ability to drive movers continuously or intermittently on Hepco curves/track circuits. 3. HepcoMotion DTS 2 Track System An evolved version of DTS, enabling constant-speed drive in straight and curved sections.

The HepcoMotion GFX guidance system is a linear high-speed transport system developed in collaboration with HepcoMotion, a linear motion manufacturer, and Beckhoff, a control systems company from Germany. Utilizing linear motor technology, it drives a uniquely controlled mover on a track, providing high-speed transport at 4 m/s without sacrificing positional accuracy. Unlike conventional conveyor transport, it is designed in a unit format, allowing for flexible adaptation to length and location. Additionally, it is possible to control only specific movers in the event of an error and manage their speed. By enabling "high-speed transport" that facilitates mass production and supply, it contributes to improved productivity and supports the future of "IoT and smart factories." *For more details, please refer to the PDF available for download.*

The Movopart belt-driven linear unit with prism guide is ideal for applications that require shock loads, low noise, washdown, or caustic environments. Thomson's prism guide can be used in multiple cleaning applications such as food and beverage, packaging, and material handling. The prism guide is more cost-effective compared to ball guides and provides a smooth and reliable guiding system. Both the belt drive and prism guide can save costs by requiring minimal maintenance. Thomson's prism guide features a unique self-adjusting system with polymer bushings that run directly on an anodized profile surface.

The HepcoMotion GFX Track Management System is a linear track management system that facilitates the movement of movers between systems. It appropriately manages the branching and merging of movers moving at high speeds in each transport process, allowing for flexible responses to movements between upper and lower processes and interactions with other systems. *It supports both circular and non-circular systems. By eliminating defective products and securing buffers, it achieves high productivity in the transport process. Additionally, adopting this system allows for the removal of the "movable core," improving maintainability. Changing the system configuration through replacement also becomes easier. This system, which eliminates unnecessary processes between high-speed transport and processes, is adopted in packaging and manufacturing sites around the world. If you are interested or facing issues with high-speed transport, please feel free to consult us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF available for download.

THOMSON's various guides can be configured to operate in harsh environments and high-speed, high-precision applications while maintaining a balance of performance, lifespan, and cost.
