General Overview:

Motion Index Drives Precision Link Conveyors combines excellent accuracy, high index speed capability with versatility to meet any automation challenge. Precision machined aluminum conveyor links are driven by a high performance Motion Index Drive unit consisting of a Rotary Index Table, 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 the other end of the Precision Link Conveyor maintain a precise tension level in the precision 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 reliable through many years of service
The output shaft of the Indexing Turntable can be utilized to synchronize other mechanical devices
Aluminum links decreasing load capacity on main Conveyor Drive
When utilizing RT Series Rotary Index Drive for indexing mechanism the drive is maintenance free
The aluminum profile system can be used to mount other external stations fast and easy
Low maintenance (adjustment of preloading on links done only once a year)
Guide Rails are hardened and fine milled

Options available:

Custom drives such as explosion proof motors, servo drives and motors for flexibility
Custom index and dwell angles can be tailored to your requirements
