Ring Guide Track Conveyor for Indian Client is Ready for Delivery

Ring Guide Track Conveyor is a smooth, efficient system that guides products seamlessly for reliable and continuous material handling.

Today, we have finished production for this ring guide tracking conveyor for our Indian client, model number is TMB01-T23-S400R180-Y540-6LK0-L1220-C20. Before designing this system, usually, we send client a form to fill with basic data, and Indian client sent back with filled data as follows. 

You can see that This design has 6 workstations, and no one workstation needs positioning.and the centre distance between two slides is 542.6mm, payload on per carriage is 2kgs. This Indian client selected elliptical type with an arc dia 400mm, the Downward pressure on a single sliding carriage when working is 4kgs.

As a result, the Ring Guide Track Conveyor offers distinct reliability.

Client’s expected data sheet 

This week, we have finished production, PMC is testing the system as follows:

After evaluation from Engineering department, we design an oval type as follows: Utilizing the Ring Guide Track Conveyor design enables precision and flexibility for this elliptical system.

Meanwhile, Indian client has a question: How to achieve positioning in the process in handling workpieces. 

From the perspective of mechanical structure, the positioning accuracy of Ring Guide Track Conveyor lies in the V-shaped roller rail.

The guide rail usually consists of bearing steel and ground to form a precise 90 degree V-shaped working surface. The guide wheel designed to cooperate with it is an eccentric structure. During installation, the eccentricity adjusts itself to generate a controllable preload force between the roller and the V-shaped guide rail. This design completely eliminates the radial clearance between the rolling elements and the guide rails, achieving zero backlash transmission at the mechanical level and providing a reproducible physical reference for subsequent positioning. 

In terms of drive and control, Ring Guide Track Conveyor produced by our company uses servo motors and reducers as power sources.

The encoder of the Ring Guide Track Conveyor forms a semi closed loop control and monitors the motor angle in real-time. At the same time, equipped with Omron sensors,This adopts a strategy of separating coarse positioning and fine positioning in actual working conditions: the servo system is responsible for quickly transporting the slide to the vicinity of the target workstation to complete coarse positioning. 

True precise positioning often relies on independent secondary mechanical locking devices.

At the workstation, a precision positioning pin driven by a cylinder is inserted into the positioning sleeve at the bottom of the slide, or a clamping cylinder is used to push the roller to press the V-shaped groove on the side of the slide. At this point, as the slider  moves to the synchronous belt or chain through a floating joint, the external force of the positioning mechanism can forcibly pull the slider to an absolute position, repeatedly repeating this as the slot position, thereby achieving repeated correction of positioning.
