PLATE CHAIN
Ideal for transferring and buffering parts in areas that require small radii. The system can be easily be configured for a wide variety of operations like machine tending and assembly operations.
 


For the Transfer and buffering of parts and pallets in tight areas through the use of small radii.



Corner Direction Changes - Technical Details

  • bearing supported
  • permits small radii and high conveyor speeds
  • a quiet and low wear design
  • modular construction through the use of the ALTRATEC system
  • wide range of choices for corner angles
  • simple connections for part outfeeding
  • cost effective, only a small number of drives required for control functions
  • suited for both manual and automatic workstations

Technical Specifications

  • Conveyor Speeds 5 . . . 17 m/min
  • Corner Curve Radius 67 mm minimum
  • Pallet Size (WxL) 140 x 170 up to 300 x 450 mm
  • Payload Including Part up to approx. 8 kg
  • Pallet Positioning accuracy ± 0.1 mm

Safety
The geometric shape of the chain and chain guides prevents parts from falling of or jamming the conveyor even at diverter stations.



Corner Radius with Drive Assembly Indexing Station



Buffering In and Outfeed
Narrow corner areas allow the buffering Easy System Expansion through of a large number of parts and pallets in subsequent docking connections at any even the smallest space discretionary point.



Variable Corner Angles
The high variability of the corner angles allows for the best possible use of nearly any existing space.
