With conventional belt conveyors, the belt would become frayed due to coolant and other factors, requiring early replacement.

There was also the problem of the transported goods slipping.

Since we are transporting metal parts, we were concerned that plastic chains would easily wear down, but because a material with a low coefficient of friction is used, there is little wear on the top surface of the chain, and it has been operating without any problems.

Previously, conveyor belts were replaced approximately once a year, but by switching to WinCS mini, the need for replacement has been reduced to approximately once every four years. Furthermore, chain replacement can be completed by simply inserting and removing pins, significantly reducing the time required for maintenance.

Furthermore, with belt conveyors, rollers were installed between the conveyors to stabilize the transfer of transported goods, but this conveyor using WT1515 has a small R at the end, which solved the issue of transferring transported goods.
