By lowering the floor of the lifter, we have succeeded in making the upper and lower two-tier conveyor more compact.
Zip Chain Actuator
overview
The upper conveyor transports the jig holding the transported item, and the lower conveyor transports the empty jig. Zip Chain Actuator is used on this circulating conveyor, which achieves a low-floor lifting mechanism.
We have succeeded in downsizing the equipment.
Problem
Although this was a new installation, there was a limit to the space available for installation, so it was necessary to keep the height of the two-tiered conveyor as low as possible.
Adopted products
Zip Chain Actuator
The interlocking chain (Zip Chain) is a chain developed exclusively by our company in which two chains interlock like a zipper to form one strong rod that can be "pushed and pulled."
Zip Chain Actuator is a completely new linear actuator that uses this mechanism.
Zip Chain can be stored in a compact case, achieving overwhelming space savings compared to conventional linear actuator.
It is compatible with high-speed, high-frequency operation and uses significantly less power than hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. It is capable of high-precision multi-point stopping and can be installed in any direction.
Benefits of adopting the product
By using Zip Chain Actuator, the lifters installed at the entrance and exit of the conveyor could be placed at a low floor without digging a pit, and the height of the upper and lower conveyors could be reduced, allowing for a compact design of the entire device, which also led to total cost reductions.
Also, when I heard it was an interlocking chain type, I was worried about the noise, but I was able to check the noise level with a working sample, so I was able to adopt it with peace of mind.
