Introduction Introduction
The HepcoMotion MCS System offers an extensive range of aluminium profile sections plus all the connecting elements and accessories the designer could need. These modular components allow an almost infinite possibility of frames to be constructed for use in industrial machinery, guarding, storage and display applications. The latest addition to the product range is Hepcos MFS Machine Fencing System (see page 35). Fully compatible with the MCS ranges it provides economical barriers around machine installations such as gantries, pick and place equipment, floor mounted robot systems or any areas where the exclusion of personnel is required. Profile machining and frame assembly to customers drawings is carried out by Hepco with fast deliveries. Alternatively, specific cut or random lengths can be supplied to customers enabling construction of their own system. Frame design and specification is aided by the use of the MCS CAD 3D files, available in .dwg and .dxf formats. Aluminium profiles are manufactured from AI6063-T5 to very close tolerances, and clear coat anodised to a depth of 10 microns, ensuring that frames are both accurate and resistant to scratching or corrosion. All manufacture is covered by full ISO 9001 certification. The MCS System is particularly effective at replacing traditional welded steel structures at lower overall cost due to the massive time saving involved. Flexibility is increased compared to welded structures, since all elements are re-usable and additions can easily be made to existing designs at any time. Many of the brackets and connecting elements in the MCS System can be used with no machining involved, for maximum simplicity. Hepcos extensive range of linear systems can also be mounted directly onto the MCS Profile sections and can be pre assembled in our factory to ensure parallelism. Additional accessories including sliding door systems, locks, etc., are available on request. A full range of polycarbonate panels, clear and coloured, compressed foam panels in various colours as well as welded wire mesh panels self coloured or powder coated are available to complete your framework design. Please contact our Technical Sales Team on 01884 257000 for further details.

&39
Panel fixing kit A complete kit of parts for securing the fencing panel to its vertical post Panel retaining clip This unique fixing clip developed by Hepco will ensure that almost all types of wire mesh sheeting or polycarbonate/steel panels which are fitted within the 8mm slot profiles are securely retained and will not rattle or vibrate. Designed for 2-6mm sheet panels and all 3mm wire mesh, the sprung feet of the clip ensure universal fitting into the profile slot and the location teeth ensure the clips cannot become dislodged. (8mm panels and 4mm wire mesh do not normally require the additional use of these clips.) The number of clips needed is dependant on the panel material being used. support. The lower bracket with its domed location stud is fully adjustable to allow for small misalignments between the vertical posts. Two bolts at the top are all that is necessary to firmly secure the fencing panel in place no matter what size of panel is being used. The swivel action of the panel fixing kit allows panels to be laid out in at any angle not just 90 degrees. &39

Aluminium Profiles
These profiles each have a specialised purpose. They expand and enhance the application of the structural profile sections detailed earlier, and can easily be combined with the structural sections shown previously within this catalogue. Systems requiring wood, glass or acrylic panelling together with tray and storage bin holding will all benefit from the use of these sections. Additionally, the Conduit Duct Sections are useful to tidily route electrical and pneumatic services. The sliding door system can be customised to individual requirements please contact our Technical Sales Team for further information. All specialist profiles are extruded from AI6063-T5 aluminium and clear-coat anodised for a high level of protection. Like the structural sections detailed previously, most of these profiles are available in 5600mm lengths - see the individual profile section for details.

This section of the catalogue contains selection information for both Structural Aluminium Profiles and Profile Connections, plus details of end machining where required. An important factor in the selection of a structural aluminium profile is the amount of deflection which will be acceptable. This deflection gives rise to a bending stress, which must be less than the maximum allowable figure of 200N/mm2. A bending stress greater than this figure is likely to cause the profile to fail. In calculating the correct profile, this maximum bending stress figure should be reduced by a safety factor according to the application characteristics. Deflection may be calculated either by using Moment of Inertia* and Section Modulus** figures in the formulas relevant to an application, or graphically by following a number of steps using the graph and nomograms provided. It should be noted, however, that the graphical method will give a more approximate deflection figure.
As shown in the Profile Connections section of this catalogue, there are a number of methods available for connecting MCS profiles and components together. Each of these methods has a different load-bearing ability and various advantages and disadvantages in terms of ease, speed and flexibility of use. The table on page 52 will aid the selection of connection methods based on the criteria most relevant to your application. The end of this section shows details of how to machine MCS profiles to accept various connection methods. This machining can be carried out by Hepco on request - contact our Sales Department for full details.
* Moment of Inertia is the ability of a profile to withstand bending. ** Section Modulus is a ratio which allows calculation of the stress in a profile created by this bending.

Note: These deflection calculations can be replaced by referring to Choosing the Correct MCS system profile for your application (pages 48 and 49), though results achieved graphically will be more approximate.

Procedure for determining the deflection of an MCS System profile when the following details are known: Applied load, unsupported length, and selected profile size (an estimate will need to be made of the most suitable size at this stage). A. Find the applied load on the Y1 axis. Draw a horizontal line from that point across the graph. B. Now find the unsupported length L on the X axis. From this point draw a vertical line upwards through the graph. C. Find the intended section Moment of Inertia on the Y2 axis (values for MCS System standard sizes are shown in the table to the right of the graph). From this point draw a second horizontal line across the graph. D. Draw a line through the intersection of the lines A & B, parallel to the diagonal lines running across the graph and intersect this new diagonal with line C. E. From the point at which line D intersects with line C, draw a vertical line up the graph; this line should cross through the relevant logarithmic scale (load type 1, 2 or 3 above). The deflection for the given loading condition can now be read from the scale. Steps A to E may also be used in a variety of sequences, depending on the variables shown. See below: To find the optimum MCS System profile size when maximum deflection, applied load and unsupported length are known, use the following sequence: ABEDC To find the maximum load for a given profile size, when maximum deflection and unsupported length are known, use: CEBDA To find the maximum unsupported length, for a given profile size, when maximum deflection and applied load are known, use: CEADB

Example A static point load of 3000N is applied centrally to an MCS System profile which is rigidly supported both ends. The total unsupported length is 800mm. It has been estimated that a 45 x 45L profile will suffice for this application. Using the Moment of Inertia figure for this profile, steps A to E are followed in sequence. From nomogram 3 (for rigidly fixed profiles) we can see that deflection will be approximately 1mm, which is deemed to be acceptable for the application.

Tolerance of Inaccuracy refers to the time and care needed when building MCS System frames with the various connection methods. For example, Angle Brackets will tolerate low build accuracy, which is quickly and cheaply achieved, whereas Bolt Connectors will not. Cost effectiveness is a measure not only of component costs, but also takes into account the time required to build various connection methods into MCS System frames.
Assembly Hints
Vertical Profiles should run unbroken from the bottom to the top of a frame, with horizontal profiles assembled to the vertical.

MCS aluminium profiles are available fitted with Hepco Linear Slide Systems as complete ready to install units incorporating either carbon chrome GV3 slides or SL2 stainless steel slides. Slides with independent fixings are available for customers preferring self assembly. The proven Hepco V slide principle, with its one piece edge hardened steel slideway, is the ideal choice for motion guidance in frame construction systems. Hepco Slide Systems are suitable for running with or without lubrication. Higher loads and longer life can be achieved if lubricated and various devices are available for this purpose. Customers may choose from a number of carriage lengths to provide various sizes of platform for mounting. Carriage plates are constructed in aluminium to minimise inertia.
Benefits
High load capacity with long life Easy to install and adjust Accepts load in all directions Tolerant of misalignment Quiet friction-free motion Works in any plane Tolerant of debris Little or no maintenance
Request the GV3+SL2 catalogue (01884 257000) or download from the HepcoMotion website: www.HepcoMotion.com
GV3 6 types of carriage cater for most design requirements and 3 grades of slide precision allows selection according to cost/performance requirements. Numerous sizes and options makes this the most versatile slide system available. SL2 is available in basic GV3 standard carriage format, with fine ground surface finish of stainless steel components for maximum corrosion resistance. Aluminium carriage with U.S.D.A approved surface treatment provides corrosion resistance better than most stainless steels.

Carriage identification (GV3): 1. Refer to tables on relevant Carriage page of GV3 catalogue (Standard Carriage, Removable Carriage, Slimline Carrage, Belt Driven Carriage or Rack Driven Carriage). N.B The Single Edge Slide Carriage is for construction by the customer, therefore individual Bearings and Lubrication Devices etc. must be selected from the GV3 catalogue. 2. Read off the basic carriage part number in column 1, adjacent to the chosen slide part number in column 2. 3. Determine the full carriage part number to include the options required by following the Ordering Details below the table. Carriage Identification (SL2): 1. Refer to the table on Assembled Systems (see page 9 of the SL2 catalogue). 2. Identify the basic carriage part number in column 1 according to the chosen slide part number. The slide part number is the last five letters / numbers of the carriage part number. 3. Determine the full carriage part number to include the options required by following the Ordering Details below the table.
