Motion Control Features

igus linear guides used at long jump events

In athletics, some disciplines are difficult to follow for spectators. For football, it is clear to see when the ball is in the goal. In long jump, however, it is not easy to judge whether the last jump has set a new record.

High duty packaging application uses low maintenance solution

For Packfeeder’s new Pickfeeder Twin 200 unscrambler system, HepcoMotion was challenged to achieve a cycle of 200 containers per minute, whilst also ensuring high reliability and low maintenance.

The electric vs pneumatic debate

The arrival of electric actuators has inevitably raised questions about their performance when they are compared to more traditional pneumatic solutions.
