CONVEYORS FEATURE


The right accumulation chain for each conveying system


F


or logistics and material handling applications, chain specialist iwis drive


systems offers a comprehensive range of accumulation chains that are used for conveying, accumulating and separating a wide range of different goods. As a rule, these chains run continually,


driven through the track rollers on the chains’ outside, which also support the chain in the profile. The conveyed goods rest on the transport or accumulation rollers, which are fitted between the chain links. Accumulation chains from iwis feature special low-friction rollers that ensure an efficient operation of the chain and therefore the entire conveying system. The low-friction rollers also allow easy positioning of the transported material at any point along the transport path and remove the need to start and stop the chain, which could influence product orientation and agitate content. The accumulation chains are available


in different versions, including versions with offset accumulation rollers for optimised load distribution, maintenance-free Megalife accumulation chains with nickel-plated plates and pins for lubricant-free operation, accumulation chains with protection for fingers and small parts for increased machine and personal safety, and side- bow accumulation chains with offset accumulation rollers for conveying systems with extremely small bend radii.


Whereas standard accumulation chains


have a single wide roller on every second pin, the version with offset accumulation rollers has offset transport rollers on every pin. As a result, each pin has a load-bearing function, so that twice as many rollers carry the load. This reduces strain and wear of the chain guide. Accumulation chains with finger and


small parts protection feature cover the space between one transport roller and the next, preventing the ingress of small parts that could jam the rollers and/or chain link. In addition, the cover prevents deliberate or accidental insertion of fingers while the conveyor is operating to increase operator safety. Matched to the chain type and required bending radius, the protectors provide 100 per cent coverage of the space between the transport rollers. Side-bow accumulation chains with


offset accumulation rollers are suitable for sideflexing conveying systems with tight bend radii down to 350mm. The roller arrangement provides multiple contact points, which reduces pressure on product through the bend. This can help to prevent marking or damage and also reduces wear on the system. The new b.smart accumulation chain


provides as these low-wear chains are suitable for arduous duty in conveying systems and unite a long service life with high precision.


In addition to accumulation chains, iwis


provides a wide product range for all drives and conveying applications. The full programme comprises precision and high-performance roller chains, conveyor chains, maintenance-free and corrosion- resistant chains, accumulation chains, special-purpose conveyor chains, flyer chains, flat-top chains and modular belts for industrial applications, chains and accessories for agricultural machinery, and timing drives for the automotive industry.

High-performance in a compact package


With the new sensors of the 15 series, Leuze electronic is providing an optimised, economical solution for standard tasks in conveyor and packaging systems as part of the Global Beam family. Leuze electronic has introduced another member of the Global Beam family with the compact standard sensors of the 15 series in an IP67 housing. The new series is suitable for the reliable detection of objects in industrial environments - particularly when it is a case of dealing with standard automation tasks in the areas of conveyor systems, material flow or secondary packaging in which large operating ranges are required. The SR 15 sensors are available with a cubic design. An


extremely bright light spot and an easily accessible potentiometer make installation quick and simple, even in tight installation situations. The 15 series is available with different operating principles and can therefore be used in a flexible way - it is even suitable for special requirements such as detecting glossy objects and reflective surfaces. The high function reserve makes reliable detection possible even in extreme situations, therefore reducing the risk of a system standstill. As far as the users are concerned, the new series represents an economical solution with a good price/performance ratio.
