MISUMI USA, Inc, a subsidiary of MISUMI Corp, has added several new models to its line of configurable miniature conveyors. The company has also added a variety of new belts and accessories to allow users to adapt the conveying devices to their specific functions and applications. With these additions, the company offers 21 different mini conveyor models, as well as eight standard flat belt types and seven cross-piece grooved flat belts.

The new mini conveyors include the SVKA and SVKB models; CVSFA, CVSFB, CVSFC, and CVSFD models, and the CVSSA model. The SVKA and SVKB features flat-belt, single-track head drive (pulley diameter 30mm). They are available in five different belt widths (from 50 to 250mm), with single-phase or 3-phase induction motor or variable speed motor. Length is configurable in 5mm increments from 300 to 3,000mm. They are offered with standard as well as meander-prevention crosspiece belts. In addition to being offered in longer lengths than most standard units, the company says the SV Series runs about 20% less in cost than comparable CVSA models.<p>

The CVSFA, CVSFB, CVSFC, CVSFD models feature full-width belt, single-track head drive, 2 or 3 groove frame type (pulley diameter 30mm or 50mm). They are available with single-phase or 3-phase motor or variable speed motor, and the belt width is configurable in 10mm increments from 60 to 300mm. The length is configurable in 5mm increments from 280 to 2000mm. Even with full-width belt, this model offers a space-saving design, especially helpful when multiple conveyors are used in parallel runs. They are offered with standard as well as meander-prevention crosspiece belts.

The CVSSA features a food-grade 304 stainless steel sheet metal belt, single-track head drive and 3-groove frame type (pulley diameter 50mm). It is available with single-phase or 3-phase motor or variable speed motor, and the belt width is configurable in 10mm increments from 40 to 150mm. The length is configurable in 5mm increments from 250 to 2000mm.

All mini conveyor frames are constructed of rigid, lightweight extruded aluminum with anodized finish for superior corrosion protection. For all versions except the CVSSA stainless steel belt model, the mini conveyor belt options include: general purpose, sliding, static conductive, oil resistant, food grade, and nonsticky food grade belts.
