Steel conveyor belt with High Precision Tracking
Material Handling Equipment
IPCO AB
Background
IPCO is the world’s largest manufacturer of steel belts for conveying / processing systems and has been supplying its perforated belt technology to the digital printing industry since 2017. The key advantages of this type of belt are levels of high levels of flatness, straightness and stability, enabling high precision digital printing at greater speeds than any other belt type.Applications for steel belt-based digital printing range from large format corrugated packaging to high quality, full colour branded materials – even furniture board, film wrap and ceramic tiles.
Independent research
This stability has been proven in independent tests carried out by contract research company Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT. Laser-based sensors were used to measure the vibration in steel and plastic belts at speeds from 30-300 m/min. Vibration levels were 3 to 6x lower on the steel belt, depending on speed and tension levels.NEW: High Precision Tracking
In mid-2020, IPCO further enhanced the performance of steel belt technology with the introduction of an innovative High Precision Tracking (HPT) solution.The tracking system is one of the most important components of a steel belt-based conveyor and is used to correct the lateral movement of steel belts under different environmental, loading and running conditions.
Specifically developed to meet the challenges of digital printing, IPCO’s HPT system enables belt tracking accurate to +/- 0.1 mm and is suitable for use on presses with belt speeds up to an impressive 300m/min.
This is an all-new system and a significant advance in tracking technology, combining electric actuation cylinders with contact free optical sensors to deliver rapid system reaction times and correct belt positioning.
