Ganged LP Conveyors Aid in Metal Stamping
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 conveyors spaced to avoid any internal elements of the machine). Ganged conveyors are especially useful for progressive stamping, where the different parts of the material run beneath a progression of different punch-press dies during a single run.
