Features IMC Precision Link Conveyors are ideal for linear transfer applications with features including: Table Top or Heavy Duty versions Precision positioning of parts for assembly or manufacturing processes High Speed station to station parts transfer Precision Links with roller bearings and precision ground cam followers for smooth transfer and long life Link size range to meet most application requirements Optional Bases, Line Shafts and Tooling Mounting Plates Complete with Motorized Index Drive system including transfer overload protection.
Precision Link Conveyors Precision Link Conveyors IMC Precision Link Conveyors combine excellent accuracy and high load capability with versatility to meet any automation challenge. In combination with a IMC index drive package and IMC parts handlers, these conveyors can be relied on as the cornerstone of in-line automatic assembly applications. High Speed and ccuracy Precision-machined conveyor chain links are driven by a high-performance IMC Index Drive. The Conveyors are equipped with a precision machined chordal compensation cam which maintains a precise tension level in the link assembly at all times for high accuracy and speed capability Versatility Many Precision Link Conveyors features can be customized including conveyor length, index distance, index motion, link fixture mounting pattern, drive package component and drive package arrangement. In addition, custom options include tooling plates, line shafts, and custom bases. Customization To suit your needs, IMC will design and build your entiry precision conveyor sub-assembly, ready for your tooling. IMC parts handlers and auxiliary index drives can be mounted to work synchronously with the conveyor. IMC quality in every component ensures the highest accuracy and durability for your automation application. Precision Links Each link of a precision conveyor is machined to IMC s exacting standards. Roller bearings are built into the link for smooth pivotal action between each link. Precise positioning is guaranteed by hardened ground cam followers pre-loaded against precision ground tracks in the conveyor body. ll bearings are greased and sealed for ease of maintenance and extended life. Easy to Tool Optional tooling and parts handler mounting surfaces are available for easy, convenient machine building. Compact Design In-line design saves floor space and provides maximum accessibility for tooling. Both Over/Under and Carousel design are available in lengths to meet your needs. -2
Precision Link Conveyors Table Top Precision Link Conveyors IMC Table Top Precision Link Conveyors are available in a variety of standard configurations. Standard link lengths include: 1.5", 2.0", 3.0", 4.5" and 6.0". Table Top Conveyor Modules are available with and without a drive package. They can be oriented in any direction without affecting capacity, accuracy or ease of maintenance. Typically, they are mounted directly to the top surface or wall of your machined base. Table Top Conveyor drive packages feature a shrink-disk mounted output overload clutch offering a zero-backlash connection between the indexer and the conveyor. It also provides phase adjustability and added protection for the indexer. The Table Top Conveyor configurations shown here are intended as a general guideline in the design of your automation system. Your IMC Sales gent will help you determine any options or customer modification you may require. -3

Precision Link Conveyors -14
Precision Link Conveyors Heavy Duty Precision Link Conveyors IMC Heavy Duty Precision Link Conveyors are available with standard link lengths of 6.0", 9.0" and 12". They are available in Over/Under and Carousel configurations. Both configurations include heavy-duty legs and a precision machined base designed to hold large loads and maintain system accuracy. djustable soft machine mounts are available on the base to accommodate inconsistent on-site flooring. The conveyor is available with either an open backbone or closed backbone design. The open backbone allows for convenient passage of tooling, drive shafts, timing belts, and hydraulic, air or electrical lines through the center of the conveyor. The closed backbone design is ideally suited to mounted IMC parts handlers and tooling plates and offers increased rigidity. Like the Table Top Series, Heavy Duty Conveyors can be mounted in any direction simply by modifying the supports with no change in accuracy, load capacity or maintenance requirements. The Heavy Duty Conveyor configurations shown here are intended as a general guideline in the design of your automation system. Your IMC Sales gent will help you determine any options or customer modification you may require. -15
