Low Profile Conveyor Removes Parts from Machinery
The sleek, narrow profile of the 2200 Series LPZ / Z Frame Conveyor from Dorner can be positioned under machinery where other conveyors won’t fit, making it ideal for removing parts in metalworking.
Posted: July 2, 2016
The new 2200 LPZ / Z-Frame Conveyor from Dorner Manufacturing Corporation (Hartland, WI) comes with one or two pivot points and features an extremely low profile to fit under machinery or any other tight spots. This is their lowest profile Z-Frame conveyor and is the first such offering in their newly redesigned 2200 Series platform.
The advantage of this conveyer is that its sleek, narrow profile enables it to be positioned under machinery where other conveyors wouldn’t fit, making it ideal for part removal in metalworking, automation and other general manufacturing applications. The pivot points on the conveyor provide added flexibility as it can be configured in either Z-frame, horizontal-to-incline and nose-over positions.
This conveyor is the second of four new platforms being introduced as part of the redesigned 2200 Series platform. The original series was re-launched earlier this year to include new features such as a redesigned frame, additional belting and expanded guiding to make the platform stronger, faster and more flexible for handling small to medium size part applications. The third and fourth conveyors in the redesigned series are expected to launch later this year. Features and benefits of this conveyor include:
- Sturdy, single piece frame design
- V-guided belts for accurate belt tracking
