Cimtrak® Power & Free Conveyor
Cimtrak Power and Free Conveyors are a low back pressure roller chain conveyor used to transport product between manufacturing processes while contacting the product only along its edges (requires 5 mm edge clearance). Power and Free conveyors can be used as a simple means of spanning large distances or for end-of-line accumulation. Ergonomic workstation accessories can also be added.
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.
