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....

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,...

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 2, 2016 Many people asked, so here’s a short video of how our new Reflective Sensor option for the LP Series works. As we posted previously, this economical photoelectric laser sensor is based on object detection on the conveyor belt. It’s a quick and easy way to make sorting and other material handling tasks even easier. It functions to...

December 8, 2015 Lite Series conveyors saves labor as it collects up to 600 pieces per shift in this user scenario — unattended — on a CNC machine cell in a high-volume ISO 9001 manufacturing facility. But time saved wouldn’t be very useful unless the sensitive parts are kept undamaged and separated, which the Lite Series conveyor does...
