Applications  Zip Chain Actuator - Lifting application

Applications

Product packing line -- Shaking device on conveyor end

Before improvement

  • ・Items coming from the floor conveyor were manually packed.
  • ・Conveyor height was constant. There were many different box sizes, and different workers lifted different sized boxes.

Problem

  • ・Large load on workers to lift items up to a high position.

Solution

  • ・Restructured the end of the conveyor to shake. Made it so the conveyor feed height could adjust to the height of the box.
  • ・Compact: Could be installed under the conveyor as-is.
  • ・Controllability: Positioning is easier compared to the simple pantograph type because the chain can be lifted directly.
