• 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.

AUTONOMOUS MACHINING
Autonomous Loading and Unloading Improves Productivity
APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:
With a need to meet he growing demand for its products and to shorten lead times, linear motion expert HepcoMotion recently invested in a KUKA robot to automate the loading and unloading of one of its CNC milling machines. 2016 was extremely successful for Hepco in terms of sales and the move to automate was a natural step for Hepco’s manufacturing capabilities. Still in its first year at Hepco, the KUKA KR 10 R1100 sixx (KR AGILUS) is enabling Hepco to machine overnight, and subsequently increase production and offer shorter lead times on its standard products.INDUSTRY: Automotive
