Accumulation Roller Chain Conveyor (FMS)

NIKAI’s NT 800 is a double free-flow pallet conveyor transport system driven by flat belts, timing belts or accumulation roller chain. With this one model, we are able to realize operations on the work piece from all 6 possible sides. This conveyor is specially designed to coordinate the diverse operations, manual or automatic, during assembly or manufacturing.

One of the principal characteristics of the system is its flexibility where in a moment we can realize conveying operations or basic assembly. Later on, and attending to the new needs of clients, NIKAI can provide extensions by means of all the available accessories such transfers, elevators, lifting and positioning stations, turn stations, stoppers, etc.

The mechanical aspect of the system consists of a chassis of extrusioned aluminium (two profiles linked together) in which the upper part supports the conveying components (chain or timing belt) and above this, the pallets with their specific tooling.

For the proper sliding movement for the conveying components (chain or timing belt), the aluminium profiles have attached a yellow ceramic polyethylene material when using chains and a PET support bed when using timing belts.

Variants exist when the drives are in end or central position. In the attached drawing, the different configurations can be observed.

The tooling pallets consist of three parts: the sliding PET’s, the flange and the specific tooling required to move the work piece. The pallets can be stopped or accumulated by means of stopper units since the chain or the timing belt is not physically joined to the pallets in question.
