Cimtrak® Edge Belt Conveyor
Cimtrak Edge Belt Connecting Conveyors are modular stand alone conveyors designed to convey ESD-sensitive material by its edges between manufacturing processes. These conveyor systems are most commonly used to convey Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and other electronic assemblies.
Each conveyor is capable of running independently utilizing an on board Allen-Bradley® PLC, but the system is designed to be linked to other up-line and down-line systems using SMEMA communications.
Cimtrak Edge Belt Conveyors are available in any length, as well as numerous drive configurations and serve as the backbone of any electronics manufacturing line.
Simplimatic’s electronics design philosophies have been highly regarded by the electronics industry since 1988 and are known to have an average service life of more than 15 years.
Each electrostatic dissipative Cimtrak product features:
- Solid conveyor belt construction – Non-spliced, fiberglass-reinforced transmission belts for superior strength
