December 6, 2016 While we specialize in small conveyors, there’s a time when “super-sizing” is just what our customers want us to do. Because of their very light weight and high rigidity, our “extended length” Lite and LP Series conveyors are ideal for applications such as multi-function assembly lines, packaging and suspended applications that span high over a work space of other machinery....

November 22, 2016 Yes, there really is a Mini-Mover LP Series conveyor in here somewhere. This complete labeling system runs about 2-3 million parts per year. For each product, it tamps the package’s label, turns the part, and then uses a wipe-on clear label applicator for the lid. Then the part is moved into an automatic L-Bar sealer and...

November 8, 2016 Big time and materials savings for this high-volume machining facility, with CNC cells equipped Mini-Mover Rotary Table Accumulator (RTA) units. As each of the sensitive parts is finished and reaches the lathe’s parts exit chute, the part can move separately onto the RTA unit for collection, without any finished parts rubbing into or dinging each...

October 25, 2016 Our customer uses two inclined Lite Series conveyors in some of their lab experiments related to their government and private-sector projects. This customer’s research is focused on catalyst- and sorbent-based materials that can act to remove or separate toxic compounds into inert states; they also develop new materials (polymers, carbons and ceramics) for energy, aerospace,...

October 11, 2016 Here’s an offline coding system for a small veterinary supplier, using an Anser U2 Thermal Ink-Jet (TIJ) printer with an LP Series Mini-Mover conveyor. Our integrator customer, Automation-Plus of Wichita, Kan., reports that everything went together smoothly and his end-user is very happy.

September 13, 2016 Our LP Series conveyors keep riding along with the “Building Buddies” traveling exhibition for children’s education. For the summer of 2016, “Building Buddies” is on its way to Mongolia… and beyond! This colorful role-playing experience teaches construction basics to preschoolers, using kid-safe plastic “plumbing,” wall painting (with lights) and brick wall construction with conveyors used...

August 30, 2016 By ganging several narrow LP Series conveyors to a single gearmotor, a single piece of material placed across them can move forward, in identical speed and in perfect alignment. This is important in applications such as metal stamping, where conveyors can be integrated into the machine to move material though the stamping dies located inside (with...

August 16, 2016 By automating the materials-loading, using LP Series conveyors at these CNC machining stations, the operator is free to attend to other production tasks during cycle time. With the resulting labor cost and time savings, these conveyors have paid for themselves.
