Cimtrak® Shuttle Gate

Cimtrak® Edge Belt Shuttle Gates allow product to be conveyed across an opening in a production line. This allows operators to pass between machines in a line instead of walking around the end of the line. The shuttle remains retracted until a board is ready to transfer. Average cycle time is seven seconds.

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
Reliable DC stepper motors – Virtually service free and allows for precise adjustments to velocity, torque, and acceleration
Premium rail design – Cimtrak® conveyor features zero gap between belt and edges to eliminate jams
Adjustable in-feed tips – Can be lengthened by up to 4’’ for easy install
Extruded aluminum framework – Provides a light and strong chassis
Industry 4.0 communication – Available with several PLC options and can be configured for smart industry 4.0 communication
