Introducing the steel belt conveyor, which has low dust generation compared to rubber and resin belts, and excels in heat resistance and wear resistance. It enables stable transport with extremely low vibration and flutter. The low friction on the transport surface allows for smooth guiding of transported items. We also offer "suction and adhesion steel belt conveyors" that achieve flat and even transport, as well as "double belt press and double steel belt heat press conveyors." 【Features of Various Products】 Steel Belt Conveyor - The belt is thin, and the pulley diameters are compact at φ50 and φ90 mm. - Minimal contamination. - The belt material is stainless steel, providing high durability. <Suction and Adhesion Conveyor> - The suction hole diameter is small, leaving no suction marks on the workpiece (film or paper). - There is minimal variation in belt thickness, and speed fluctuations are kept low. - The vertical movement and lateral deviation of the belt are minimal, reducing wrinkles and warping of the workpiece. <Double Steel Belt Heat Press Conveyor> - High thermal conductivity to the workpiece. - The workpiece is heated, pressed, and rolled between the upper and lower double conveyors, ensuring high processing accuracy. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Some ball screw actuators are covered with metal sheets for dust protection and safety. Metal sheets with a thickness of about 0.05 to 0.2 mm are relatively commonly used for the cover material, but there are many voices from the field expressing difficulties. This is often because gaps can occur when the cover is applied. "You might think, 'What? It's metal, so it should be straight and flat!'" However, in reality, many have waves or slight curves. Moreover, in most cases, it is difficult to confirm the shape before purchase. Leave such concerns to DYMCO! DYMCO has a unique route that allows us to select and purchase materials with minimal distortion and camber due to years of corporate activity. In addition to material, we can also procure and process thickness, width, and length according to your needs. If you are struggling with yield or assembly efficiency, please consult DYMCO.

The arm drive of the scara robot (horizontal multi-joint robot) employs methods such as timing belts, direct motors, and actuators. These are not a problem in atmospheric environments, but that is not the case in vacuum environments. Problem 1: Risk of temperature rise In a vacuum, the environment can reach temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. Problem 2: Risk of outgassing Outgassing (gases released from moisture or gases remaining in components) can cause workpiece contamination and equipment malfunction. Stainless steel belts are one of the few items that can address these issues. In fact, steel belts are used in scara robots designed for vacuum applications.

• SCARA Robot

Excellent resistance to food and cleaning chemicals, capable of transporting high-temperature heating, drying, or cooling materials, which is difficult with resin and rubber. No bacteria can invade the belt, preventing proliferation and ensuring cleanliness. There is no shrinkage or deterioration even when using high-temperature water or alkaline chemicals for cleaning and sterilization. Food colors and odors do not remain, allowing for safe transportation. There is no fraying of the belt edges or peeling of the coating, eliminating the risk of foreign material contamination.

In the case of belt drive, since it is a friction drive, slipping occurs. Isn't it common to use a timing belt as a countermeasure against slipping? Even so, if you have experienced that backlash and elongation prevented you from achieving the expected level of precision, do you know about steel belts?

• Assembly Machine

We propose a lifting method using stainless steel belts as an alternative to conventional methods. ★Challenges of Chains - Wear and play of gears and sprockets. - Requires lubrication, which can lead to oil contamination. - Stretching causes stroke discrepancies. - Cannot be overlapped, resulting in longer winding shafts. ★Challenges of Wires - Increased wire diameter. - Stretching causes stroke discrepancies. - Large lateral swaying during winding. ★Challenges of Rack & Pinion - Wear and play of gears and sprockets. - Requires lubrication, which can lead to oil contamination. - Requires rails or guides for stroke, taking up space. ★Challenges of Timing Belts - Tooth skipping and missing teeth can occur. - The diameter for overlapping winding increases. - Not suitable for heavy loads; needs to be wider.

Stainless steel belts are heat-resistant and do not deteriorate even when used for transport at high temperatures. Being metallic, they do not melt or develop holes. There is also a proven track record of use in environments with heat exposure above 300°C. Since they are flat belts, there is no risk of items spilling through gaps like with mesh belts, nor will items get marked by a mesh pattern. Using stainless steel belts in conveyors enables continuous heating, drying, and firing processes.

• Heating device

The stainless steel belt has good thermal conductivity, and when combined with refrigerants (such as chillers, liquid nitrogen, spot coolers, etc.), it can be expected to provide high cooling effects. Unlike wire mesh belts, it can transport powdery or granular materials without spilling through gaps. 【Features】 ■ Can carry and cool high-temperature materials ■ Can be used as a belt cooler ■ Can achieve molding and cooling using a flat surface simultaneously ■ Almost no occurrence of black contamination like that of mesh belts ■ Can cool by sandwiching from above and below

The corona metal belt (stainless steel belt) is used as the band electrode for the pinning device. The pinning device is a mechanism used in the film manufacturing process to electrostatically adhere the molten resin extruded from the T-die to the cooling roll. The thinner the electrode, the lower the voltage can be reduced, which allows for a more concentrated discharge position at one end, enabling stable corona discharge. While band electrodes are mainly produced overseas, this one is manufactured domestically in Japan, ensuring reliable delivery times and after-sales support! 【Features of the Corona Metal Belt】 ■ The discharge end (belt edge) is rounded and has no corners. ■ Even at a thickness of 0.05mm, the maximum tensile strength of the belt exceeds 290N, demonstrating its toughness. ■ It can be stretched straight without sagging, making it particularly effective for long cooling drums. ■ Since it is wound in layers, it feeds and unwinds smoothly compared to wires. ■ It can be wound onto the reels of existing belt electrodes for easy unwinding and rewinding.

The oil skimmer belt is an endless steel belt designed for oil skimmer devices that recover oil (floating oil) on the surface of water. The belt-type oil skimmer device consists of an upper drum and a lower drum. The lower drum is submerged in a tank of water, while the upper drum is constructed with a magnet embedded in it. By using a steel belt made of a magnetic steel type, the belt rotates while adhering to the drum without slipping. Since oil tends to adhere easily to metal, when the steel belt is submerged in a tank with floating oil, oil attaches to the surface of the belt, which then carries the oil up to the upper drum, where it is scraped off with a scraper or similar tool. If the drum diameter and layout are known, we can also provide recommendations for the optimal thickness of the steel belt.
