Overview
The DAPDU2 belt driven unit is a double acting system that is ideal for driving automatic doors in use on spray booths and other manufacturing applications. The unit is built on a slotted, tough aluminum beam of one-piece construction. The beam is available in lengths to 6m, and incorporates a drive belt and two or more carriages running inside. This configuration effectively seals the unit on three sides.
• Carriages run symmetrically, achieving speeds to 6m/s
• Total driving force of 280N
The DAPDU2 integrates easily with the PDU2 line, which offers a full range of accessories and options including gearing, optional couplings, motor/gearbox mounting kits, T-nuts and brackets. DAPDU2 is also fully compatible with MCS aluminum framing.
Carriages
The carriages are the same Herculane® wheels used in the popular PDU2 unit, and provide excellent load capacity, durability, speed and quiet operation. The wheels run virtually friction-free on the inside surface of the profile, and provide stable support for the carriage plate. Maximum carriage capacity is 500N.

Application Example: Automatic Spray Booth Doors
The DAPDU2 unit has a total of four fitted carriages, two moving left and two moving right, each with an angled carriage plate. A door is suspended between each pair of carriages, and track rollers (see GV3 catalog) fixed to the door bottoms engage in channel sections on the floor to restrain movement away from the wall. A DC motor drives the DAPDU2 unit via a right angled planetary gearbox.
Automating CNC Machines
HepcoMotion utilized a KUKA robot to automate the loading and unloading of one of its CNC milling machines.
