PRECISION LINK CONVEYOR - PLC PALLET TYPE

High accuracy and speed, high load capacity, versatility of positioning and custom length.

  LONG SERVICE LIFE COMBINED WITH A 5 YEAR WARRANTY *   ITALPLANT precision link conveyors are state-of-the art conveyors for all industries: mechanical, manufacturing, assembling, packaging, and every genre of application: medical, cosmetic, electronic, and many more. ITALPLANT precision link conveyors combine excellent accuracy, high speed, smooth movement, high load capacity, versatile positioning, with custom lengths. Driven by an ITALPLANT indexer with globoidal cam, guarantees a motion that gives incredible variety of motion laws (MS, MS20, MT, CYC, etc.), ensuring a maximum degree of reliability. ITALPLANT Indexers are driven by a worm-gear reducer and three phase brake motor, or if required a servo motor and driver. The type of motion can be, continuous or periodic, with much longer dwell periods and custom length. To meet all the customers’ requirements we can supply a complete project that includes not only the complete precision link conveyor and placers with motorization, but also support base and tools to fit onto the links. Load and unload pick and place units can also be integrated to the system.

PRECISION LINKS AND FOLLOWERS Each link of an ITALPLANT precision link conveyor is machined with high accuracy as standard. Links are made by anodized aluminium, but it is also possible for steel or other materials on customer's demand. Each link features on the upper face standard tapped holes and dowels seats for fixing (see following drawings) but it is also easy to get custom holes. Each link mounts hardened rollers, checked one by one and greased for life. The link has four rollers on the two sides, and two in the lower face for guidance. In house assembly ensures the total absence of lateral and axial backlash, given by a pre-load of the chain to the lateral guides. Rollers pins are mounted on needle bearings, while central rollers are secured with bolts.

MANUFACTURE

All ITALPLANT precision link conveyors (or carriers) mount hardened dual drive sprockets able to guarantee a transmission without backlash between the drive unit and chain links. On the opposite side, a special tensioning cam designed by our technical office maintains a precise tension of the chain. Tracks where rollers run are hardened and ground and are a high precision components

VERSATILITY The majority of precision link conveyors produced by ITALPLANT include custom alterations. Conveyor length, index distance, index motion, working position – horizontal or vertical – link fixture mounting pattern, link material, tooling plate configuration, line shaft configuration, support base design, drive package components and drive package arrangement Even if all these options are not enough, ITALPLANT can supply complete special conveyors following customers' suggestions.

MODULAR CONCEPT The design of ITALPLANT precision link conveyors is founded on three different entities: drive head (including pinion, input shaft, motorization), take-up end (including cam and all tensioning system) and the generic module, with which we indicate one link and all the structures that supports it, beam and tracks. With these three entities, it is possible to assemble the required length simply pointing out the number of links, obtained by:

number of stations (*) x link pitch

Length, showed in inches or mm depending of versions, indicates in this way the distance between drive end axis and take up end.

FEATURES ITALPLANT precision link conveyors contemplate a number of features unique for each type that must be examined by the customer for ultimate choice.
