One-point quick adjustment guide rails

Use

The one-point adjustment guide rails are used when quick set-ups are required.

Description

• By rotating a single hand-wheel, the operator can open or close a section of conveyor guide rails to adjust them for different size products.

• A digital counter ensures the exact repeatability of the setting.

• Minor adjustments due to material variances (such as bottle diameter) can be performed easily and promptly.

Operation

External

A gear reducer controls the guide movement and an external rod connected to a rack and pinion mechanism maintains the synchronization between the rails.

Internal

A gear reducer controls the guide movement and a rod below the conveyor body maintains the synchronization between the rails.
