Welcome to Misumi's new 19-minute Webinar Series.
For those of you here that are new to Misumi,
Misumi is a global supplier of configurable components.
You may ask, why configurable? What is it?
Configurable components solve the designer's dilemma.
A designer has two choices for components; Standard
or Custom. Standard components have a limited selection
and often forced designers to compromise their designs.
these many pluses such as CADs, static part numbers,
fast delivery, often seem inexpensive
and convenient. The other choice is Custom.
Custom components have many drawbacks.
Designers have to make the solid models themselves and all the manufacturing
drawings.
Purchasers too can attest to the long wait for quotes,
the expensive set up charges for short runs, and the long lead times.
We are forced to use custom components though because of the flexibility.
Misumi offers configurable
which is the best of both--easy and flexible.
Configurable components are easy to design with and purchase.
Online, select the product geometry desired,
the material and surface finish, input the size for each configurable dimension
within the range and increments shown.
You'll get a smart part number, instant price and days to ship,
and the CAD model. All of this configurability
is available with our over one million components
available at misumiusa.com.
Now I'll turned it over to our Misumi engineer.
Hi, my name is Vick Yonata. I'm a product engineer with Misumi's Motion Systems group
and will be presenting this webinar covering our conveyor products.
In today's webinar
I will introduce various types of conveyors. I will first cover our low-cost
SV series and their specifications, then cover the CV series,
which is the standard type. I will also point out
the main differences between the SV versus the CV
and the advantages of each series. And lastly,
we will look at the different alteration options available
and some of the application examples. This is our conveyor product lineup.
Misumi offers various different types of conveyors.
As we can see we offer Flat Belts,
Full Width Belts, High Power Type,
Timing Belts, and Plastic Chain Type.
Our conveyors can come with different drive variations such
as: Head Drives, Center Drives,
and Built-in Drives. As you can see,
Misumi offers a wide variety of products and options.
We will see the different conveyor series Misumi offers in detail
in the next few slides. This is the CV Belt Drive
series. There are two types available; the SVKA
and SVKB with head drive configuration. Both model types have
the same specifications
besides the fact that the SVKB utilizes a guided belt
to help maintain the belt from meandering. Width of the belt
is configurable in fifty millimeter increments from fifty
to 250 millimeters. Length is configurable from 300 millimeters
up to 3,000 millimeters. Please note
that all of our SV conveyor's max length will be three thousand
millimeters.
Motor options available would be either a 6 or 25 watt.
Voltage options are available in single phase
110 VAC or 220 VAC. You can also select three phase
230 if necessary.
Gear reduction
ranges from 12.5 up to 180:1 ratio.
Two types of motor options
are available, a constant speed motor or a variable-speed.
Linear speed of this conveyor will depend on the gear ratio selected.
1.7 meter per minute would be the slowest when using
a 180:1 ratio and 24.7 meter per minute
will be fastest using a 12.5:1
ratio gearbox. Recommended load is up to 15 kilograms
with 25 watt. There are seven different types of belt options available.
We will discuss these belt options a little later when we talk about
alterations. A conveyor with no belt can also be selected
if you would like to purchase a special belt. Please note
that voltage options, gear head reduction, motor type
and belt types would be the same for all of our flat belt conveyors.
SVKN and SVKR is very similar to the SVKA and SBKB series.
However, as we can see that this series is a center drive conveyor.
Much like the previous series discussed
SVKR series utilizes a guided belt. Width is also configurable with fifty
millimeter
increments. Configurable length is slightly different
due to the center drive configuration. Recommended load is 15 kilograms with 25
and 40 watt motors.
The 40 watt will have more torque advantage over the 25 watt motor,
however, the recommended load is 15 kilograms.
Let's take a look at the main difference between using
a non-guided versus a guided belt.
As we can see with the non-guided version such as the SVKA and SVKN series,
the belt does not fill the aluminum extrusion gap.
Looking at the as SVKB and SVKR series
we can see that the centering feature rests inside the extrusion groove.
CVSA and CVSB
will have an identical design. However,
the main difference would be the roller diameter. CVSA features a thirty
millimeter roller
and CVSB is series with fifty millimeter roller.
These are comparable to the SVKA series.
However, the width is configurable in ten millimeter increments
instead of 50 millimeters, as the SV Series. CVSN
and CVSB series is exactly the same as the CVSA and
CVSB but because it's a center drive
the length is configurable from 305 millimeters
to 2000 millimeters in five millimeter increments.
All other specs are identical. A CVSC and CVSD
is an alternative conveyor to the CVSA and CVSB if a guide
is required.
The CVSR and CVSW
is an alternative conveyor to CVSN and
and CVSP if a guide and a center drive is required.
CVSFA and CVSFB
is a full width conveyor type with a roller size of 30
and 50 millimeters respectively. The advantage of this conveyor
is to provide larger widths up to 300 millimeters
and ten millimeter increments. CVSFC and CVSFD
have the same specification as the CVSFA
and the CVSFB, however, this series utilizes a guided belt.
The CVSE and the CVSF
is a high-powered type conveyor. Width of the high-powered type
is configurable from 100 to 500 millimeters
in one hundred millimeter increments. For
this high-powered type, the length of the conveyor is configurable from
440 to 6,000 millimeters in five millimeter increments.
Because of higher wattage motors,
you are able to convey longer belts that can handle more load--
up to 50 kilograms. 60 and 90 watt motors
are the option for this conveyor. CVSX and CVSY
are very much like the CVSE and the CVSF
conveyors, but these are the center drive versions.
CVSSA
is our stainless steel conveyor belt type. It has a fifty millimeter
diameter roller. CVSJA
is a short type conveyor with a crosspiece. The crosspiece allows a guided belt to
be used.
Besides all of the conveyor models I presented,
we also carry narrow type versions. Both are available with Head Drive
or Center Drive configuration. Two options of width
at either 10 or 20 millimeters are available. Two belt options
are available with this conveyor. This
is the built-in motor type conveyor. As you can see,
the motor is mounted inside the conveyor's body. There are three types
of width available for this conveyor. CVSTA and CVSTB
are our timing belt head drive type conveyors. Recommended load
is 15 kilograms with 25 watt, and 35 kilograms
with a 40 watt motor. CVSTN and CVSTP
have the same exact specification as the CVSTA
and CVSTB, except it's a center drive instead of a head drive version.
The only difference would be the minimum configurable length.
Length is configurable up to 2,000 millimeters
in five millimeter increments. CVSPA
is the last model offered. This model utilizes a plastic chain
and is only available in head drive. Recommended load
is up to 32.5 kilograms with a 40 watt motor.
Now let's look at the difference between the SV versus the CV series.
The SV Series features a one-piece aluminum extrusion
which is why the width is less configurable than the CV series.
Because of this design, the SV series is a low cost conveyor alternative
compared to our standard conveyor. The CV series does not use a one-piece aluminum
extrusion.
The aluminum extrusions are used on the side of the conveyor
to support the plate. Because of this design,
the plate width is configurable in ten millimeter increments.
Let's explore the belt options.
This belt is used for general use
and is offered in two color variations; green or white.
Both of these belts have the same exact specifications.
Also offered is a belt for sliding applications in two color variations.
As we can see, the friction coefficient of these belts
are the lowest belts we offer. Misumi also offers an anti-static belt
for conveying electronic components, food grade,
oil resistant, and a non-adhesive belt type.
Guided flat belts are also available in several
options just like the non-guided belts. The standard belt for general use
is either in green or white, sliding purpose,
anti-static for electronic parts, oil resistant,
and non-adhesive. This would be the stainless steel belt version
and is only offered in 304 stainless steel. Timing belts have three options.
The first two have exactly the same specifications.
However, the LTBJA does not have a nylon cloth
as the LTBRA, which makes the timing belt
semi-transparent. The LTBR timing belt
is a polyurethane belt and is more suitable for applications
that require low temperature. There are several
alterations that can be requested when configuring your conveyor. Motor position
could be specified for center drives--
Alteration MP, or motor position can be reversed--
Alteration MK. Nose Bare Transfer can be added
in 10 or 15 millimeter diameter. Conveyor stands or large conveyor stands with the
crosspiece bar
can also be added for extra support.
Conveyor available accessories would be stainless steel
or polyethylene guide rails, sheet metal guide rails,
and stainless steel or plastic rollers.
Stainless steel Quick Adjust Brackets are also available
and Stainless Steel Small Stand or Sheet Metal Mounting Brackets are also
available.
This is an example of our CV Series conveyor used to convey plastic
sprockets.
As you can see, the conveyor utilizes a sheet metal guardrail
as an accessory.
Another example of our CV series is used to convey
stamped caps. These stamp caps are conveyed into a visual inspection system.
This system utilized our dual-track timing belt.
On this particular application it is used to convey molded containers.
This is the Misumi website. As you can see,
the website is divided into three product groups:
Automation Components, Pressed Die Components,
and Plastic Mold Components. Since we are talking about conveyors,
we are going to select Automation Components.
On the Automation Components page we would then scroll down
to our Conveyors and Material Handling.
On the Conveyors and Material Handling we would then click on Conveyors.
As you can see, these are some of the accessories that we have available.
However, for this purpose we are looking for a belt conveyor
so we would click Belt Conveyor.
On the right side of the page we can see
the full line-up of our conveyors. There are over
forty-five conveyors available here
and we will narrow it down using the configurator
on the left side. We would select belt width.
For this purpose let's do 150 millimeters.
As you can see, it now narrows down our options.
But let's narrow it down a little more.
We would then select our Flat Belt Conveyor type
and flat belts.
There are two drive methods available with the flat conveyor:
Center Drive or End Drive. For this purpose let's select
End Drive. Now as we can see
we have narrowed on our options to 7 conveyors
and as I mention during the webinar earlier we have two series, the
SV which is the low-cost and the CV which is more configurable
in width. For this purpose let's go ahead and select the CV series
with the thirty millimeter roller. Let's go ahead and configure this.
Let's select the general use belt specification
in green
and a length of 1.5 meters,
with a gear reduction of 12.5:1,
a 25 watt motor,
and motor type we will select constant speed motor.
If you do need to use an inverter be sure to select a constant speed motor
plus inverter,
but for this purpose let's select constant speed
and voltage at 115 VAC.
Now as you can see on the right side here, this is our complete full part
number,
and what we can do now, we can check the price.
Not only can we check the price but we can also check the days to ship
and also Catalog Information.
On the Catalog Information you can find more detailed information
as far as the linear speed of the belt,
as well as the load handling capacity. This concludes our webinar for
today.
