Product fall countermeasures due to changes in specifications of mesh belts with chains (F2 → R2)

By changing the mesh of the mesh belt with a chain to a smaller specification than the conventional product, it was possible to prevent falls during transport.

Customer Issue

The wide mesh of the belt leads to the fall of the product.

Semicircular products (automobile products) were transported on the belt.
A width of the semi-circular product is supported by only one point of a spiral pitch and it is not stable during transportation. It leads to fall down during transportation.

Our proposal

Reduce the mesh of the belt (F2 → R2)

Product Width: Rasen pitch of conventional F2 belt for about 10mm: 7.2mm was supported by one point, but Lasen pitch: Changed to two-point support by using R2 of 4mm.
From the support of one lasen, the fall measures were taken by supporting two.

Effect after introduction

The fall of the product was significantly reduced, leading to labor saving.

By changing the specifications of the belt, the product has almost disappeared.
As a result, there was no need to assign personnel standing on the transport exit side, which led to the reduction of personnel.
