Emboutissage
For this initial process step flat metal is formed into shaped panels by use of tools and dies. We have powerful flat belts to drive your presses, a full range of Timing Belts for accurate positioning and Synthetic Belts with all types of top covers for safe and reliable transport.
Main challenges
- Achieving zero unscheduled downtime and minimum scheduled downtime
- Reliable slip-free drive of stamping presses
- Having the best and up-to-date belting solution for each application
Solutions
- ZipLink® and ZipLock technology (quick splicing or installation of belt without special tools or having to take the conveyor apart)
- Special cut resistant Ropan Belts (thermoset PU) provides longer lifetime (less changes) than regular thermoplastic PU
- Timing Belt pin joint system for fast exchange
- Extensive service network, around the world and round-the-clock
- Leather and elastomer rubber High Performance Flat Belts to drive stamping presses
- On-site assessment of customer needs by automotive industry specialists with the widest belting solution range in the business
Transport de luges
Pour un transfert croisé, des systèmes de transport à longue piste ou des tapis roulants complets, des solutions de bandes résistantes et fiables sont nécessaires pour éviter les arrêts imprévus et aba
Main challenges
- Achieving zero unscheduled downtime and minimum scheduled downtime
- Steel roller chain technology requires lubrication and then still produces too much noise
- Rubber belting requires constant monitoring of tensioning and tracking and in dual lane systems a proper synchronisation can be quite a challenge
- Utilizing longer conveyors without transfers
Solutions
- Simple pin connection enables fast and easy maintenance without need for special skills or tools
- Modular belt / chain doesn’t require lubrication and has significant lower noise levels
- Modular belt / chain doesn’t require tensioning or tracking, can run bi-directional and has a positive sprocket drive to ensure 100% synchronisation
- Clever design, high quality materials and minimum (rolling) friction result in having the longest conveyors in the business
Bandes ergonomiques pour personnel
In an environment where worker health and performance are essential, conveying workers during their assembly and inspection activities provides a very ergonomic and safe working environment.
Pulsation free, ESD safe and non-slip surfaces are important features of our belting solutions to ensure best worker conditions.
Main challenges
- Achieving zero unscheduled downtime and minimum scheduled downtime
- Eliminating pulsation or stick-slip of conveyor
- Not having static discharges and too slippery or too rough belt surfaces
Solutions
- Simple pin connection enables fast and easy maintenance without need for special skills or tools
- Years of experience has created vital knowledge needed to select the right belt – material combination and to assist in recommending and setting drives and controls
- Special electrically conductive insert technology and low-profile belt surfaces ensure ESD performance and non-slip, easy to clean belts
Transport de véhicules sur roues
With cars loaded onto conveyor belts the strength and wear resistance of those conveyor belts start to play an important role. Through innovative design using FEA analysis we have selected a combination of the strongest materials and engineered belt design using insert technology, to ensure high strength and superior wear resistance.
For the workers on wide belt conveyors, a pulsation free, ESD safe and non-slip surface are additional important features of our belting solutions.
Main challenges
- Achieving zero unscheduled downtime and minimum scheduled downtime
- Utilizing longer conveyors without transfers
- Avoiding heavy wear, especially with concentrated high loads
- Eliminating pulsation or stick-slip of the conveyor
- Not having static discharges and too slippery or too rough belt surfaces
Solutions
- Simple pin connection enables fast and easy maintenance without the need for special skills or tools
- Clever design, high quality materials and minimum friction result in having the longest conveyors in the business
- Use of wear resistant material which, due to patented insert technology, doesn’t affect the load capacity of the belt
- Years of experience has created vital knowledge needed to select the right belt – material combination and to assist in recommending and setting drives and controls
- Special electrically conductive insert technology and low-profile belt surfaces ensure ESD performance and non-slip easy to clean belts
