90° Belt Turns

Specifications

Belt Turns are most often used to connect one conveyor (or box-filling station, carrousel etc.) to another. Belt Turns are an excellent choice when parts need to maintain their original orientation on the belt or if the parts could be damaged by being dropped from one conveyor to another.

By butting a conveyor to this 180° belt turn, parts can be moved through a complete change of direction without being dropped.

Applications for Belt Turns

Robotic box-packing
Robotic box-packing usually requires parts to be positioned in a specific orientation on the conveyor. Belt turns allow parts to maintain their original belt orientation through any number of direction changes. This is especially helpful when robotically placed parts need to be moved to distant robotic packing stations. This Belt Turn application moves parts placed by a robot onto an elevator which moves them to a lower position. Parts are not dropped and they maintain their original orientation on the belt throughout the entire application.

Protect cosmetically delicate parts
Depending upon the size and shape of the part, Belt turns can often be configured to butt directly to the conveyors they are sequenced with. This is an excellent way to allow parts time to cool and stabilize as they move to their final destination.

Prevent tall parts from tipping
Butting a conveyor to a smooth flowing, Belt Turn is an excellent way to prevent tall or unstable parts from falling over as they move through a change of direction.
