General Overview:
Motion Index Drives’ Precision Link Conveyors combine excellent accuracy and high index speed capability with versatility to meet any automation challenge. Precision-machined aluminum links are driven by a high-performance Motion Index Drive unit consisting of an index drive, worm or hardened bevel gear reducer and brake motor. Hardened dual drive sprockets guarantee a backlash-free motion transmission between the drive unit and conveyor chain links. Fixed, hardened chordal compensation cams on both ends of the Precision Link Conveyor maintain a precise tension level in the chain link assembly at all times.
The design of the Precision Link Conveyor is based on a modular concept. The conveyor length between the dual drive sprockets and the fixed chordal compensation cams can be customized according to the required number of work stations.
Technical benefits for end users:
- Proven reliability through many years of service
- Easy synchronization of other mechanical devices
- Lightweight aluminum links
- Maintenance-free indexing mechanism (RT Series rotary table)
- Fast and easy to mount other external stations
- Low maintenance (adjustment of preloading on links done only once a year)
- Guide rails are hardened and fine milled
Options available:
- Explosion-proof motors, servo drives and motors for flexibility
- Custom index and dwell angles
- Overload protection devices
- Custom link sizes and linear strokes
- Custom color
- Custom hole patterns on links
- Stainless steel, nickel plating or other special surfaces on select areas
Advantages for designers and machine builders:
- Oscillating index operation capabilities
- Easy synchronization of other mechanical devices
- Can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal configuration
- Length can be changed easily for design or project changes
