It uses Hepco’s PRT2 and 1-Trak guidance systems that workwith Beckhoff’s XTS circuit linear system to cater for higher-duty XTS applications wheremotion profiles and long-termdurability requirements are particularly demanding. The combination of technologies provides a robust, flexible system that is predicted to revolutionise production processes inmanymanufacturing applications.The system is suitable applications fromvariable-speed lane dividers that sort randomly positioned items into separate lanes, to double-sided systems for compact applications requiringmultiplemotion profiles.
