Horizontal Motion Conveying for Scrap Removal



PRAB, Inc. has redesigned the horizontal motion conveyor known as the Quick Return (QR). The QR Conveyor is designed to provide durable, reliable operation for efficient removal of scrap away from a press or other cutting and stamping operations.

"The QR Conveyor uses horizontal motion that gently propels material forward without vibration or springs," said a company spokesperson. "The flexibility of the drive location allows for a very adaptive design to fit in existing pits. The drive is engineered using standard, readily available components, keeping maintenance costs and operating requirements low."

The QR is engineered to effectively move any shape, material, thickness and load. It is suitable for use with laser, plasma, single press dedicated units or as a transfer system for plant wide applications over long horizontal distances.

"We have redesigned the QR to enhance the longevity of the drive, which is the workhorse of the unit," said Mike Hill, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for PRAB. "Our customers are no longer evaluating conveyor purchases on price and features alone, but rather on the uptime and overall utilization of their equipment. The QR is engineered to offer the best overall value to industry."
