Conveyor belts and tracks

A. Roller bed conveyor B. Narrow belt conveyor

Roller bed conveyors serve exclusively to transport
slab-like workpieces to downstream conveying
equipment. The roller bed conveyor is stationary and
has electrically powered rollers. Depending on
application, the drive can be set using either at fixed
or variable speeds between 2 and 16 m/min.
The slab dimensions depend on the width of the roller
bed and the spacing of the rollers.
Belt conveyors serve exclusively for transporting
workpieces and are designed to suit the application in
terms of length, width and spacing. The individual
toothed belts are driven via a gear motor and a
common shaft. Depending on application, the drive is
either fixed or variable speed, between
2 and 16 m/min.

The chain tension must be checked at regular
intervals. The chain tension can be adjusted by
adjusting the drive motor.
The sensor surfaces must be kept clean for reliable
operation of the light barriers. Any dirt must be
removed with a moist, clean cloth.

Do not look into the laser beam!

It is dangerous to look into the laser
beam with optical devices (e.g.
binoculars)!

Conveyor belts and tracks

1. Maintenance
Maintenance is limited to monthly greasing of the
bearing points with standard lubrication.
The belt tension must be checked at regular intervals.
The belts can be individually re-tensioned by
adjusting the return pulleys. Do not exceed the
permissible belt section force of 4.5 kN.
The sensor surfaces must be kept clean for reliable
operation of the light barriers. Any dirt must be
removed with a moist, clean cloth.

Do not look into the laser beam!
