Versa Series "C" Caterpillar Pullers are suited for pliable materials.
Caterpillar Pullers from Versa Pullers provide uniform pressure over the entire traction length, thus exerting greater pulling force without product deformation, making them suited for aluminum extrusions as well as the safe handling of bandsaw blades and other inherently dangerous materials, the company reported.
Versa Series "C" Pullers are available in nonmotorized versions that can be included in OEM designs, or in motorized versions that allow out-of-the-box productivity. Belt configurations range from 2" (50 mm) width X 9" (230 mm) length to 4" (100 mm) width X 18" (460 mm) length.
A wide variety of belt materials and durometer ratings are available, including sponge, gum rubber, silicone, neoprene, urethane or nitrile, some of which are FDA approved. Additional options include left-to-right configuration and OSHA guarding package.
All Versa pullers are equipped with a hand wheel or optional pneumatic operation of the belt booms along a constant centerline. The pneumatic option provides control of the pressure applied to the product being pulled and makes repeatable set-up almost instantaneous. Additional options include left-to-right configuration and OSHA guarding package.
Motorized Pullers
Motorized Puller assemblies include all components for out-of-the-box productivity for many downstream handling requirements. They are mounted on a 12" x 14" base plate for easy positioning of feed materials and include a choice of either AC or DC motor and drive, and a remote Operator Control Station (OCS) that can be mounted wherever desired. A wide variety of speed ranges are available. The OCS includes pushbuttons for Start, Stop and Emergency Stop, as well as a 10-turn potentiometer with turns counter for speed control. Digital speed indicator and 115-volt input are standard, with other voltages available as options.
Nonmotorized Puller Assemblies
Standard nonmotorized "C" series puller assemblies are virtually identical to their motorized counterparts, except without the motor and drive. "They provide excellent grip and feeding yet allow end users and OEM machine builders to design, configure and build machines to meet their specific requirements," said a company spokesperson. "With speeds from 0 to 450 FPM and with a variety of belt materials available, they are suitable replacements for existing puller assemblies or as components for specialized equipment for unique applications."
Versa motorized pullers and caterpillar assemblies are suited for many applications, including downstream handling of pipe, profiles, tubing, vinyl siding, wire and cable, steel materials, pulling materials through braiding machines and more.
