Application and Function
The flat-top chain version of the
Bosch Rexroth TSplus conveyor uses
dual strands of sideflexing flat-top
chain as its transport medium. The
low coefficient of friction with the
workpiece pallets allows pallets to
be stopped on the conveyor while
the chain continies to move beneath
them. It is thus possible to queue
workpiece pallets as work processes
are performed either manually or au-
tomatically.
The dual chain (open center) con-
veyor design provides access to the
fixtured workpiece from all sides.
The chains themselves are tracked
along the top chain-guide profiles
and are driven at constant speed by
means of drive sprockets.
The carousel drive system is de-
signed for a maximum supported
load weight 175 kg to 815 kg.
Important Information
The carousel configuration is eco-
nomical because it minimizes the
number of drives, transfer modules,
and chain required. It does not use
a return unit. It consists of four 90°
or two 180° curved sections and an
appropriate number of straight sec-
tions. Not only is this configuration
easy to set up, but controls complex-
ity is kept to a minimum because of
reduced I/O requirements. The car-
ousel drive powers the side flexing
flat-top chain through the carousel
configuration.
For maximum efficiency, the drive
unit should be placed at the "down-
stream" end of the longest straight
section. Ordering parameters allow
you to specify the motor voltage and
frequency, conveyor speed, and drive
width. The gear reducer and motor
are located in the mid-mounted posi-
tion.
Leg sets are not included and are or-
dered separately based on conveyor
transport heights.
