ADAPTTECH mk Belt Conveyors Controllable by UR Cobots
mk’ s GUF-P 2000 series of belt conveyors are true all-rounders, with a large selection of drives, tails, stands and belt types for outstanding variability. They are based on the mk 2000 aluminium profile range, which provides high load-bearing capacity and a torsion-resistant structure.
In addition to its low height of 50 mm and a compact ø 53 mm driving roll – which can be coated with rubber according to the application – the conveyor also offers a wide range of different belt types. As with all mk belt conveyor systems, the crowned design of the driving and idler rollers ensures significantly easier belt adjustment. The system is available with an optional stationary or rolling knife edge.
System slots running along both sides( 10 mm slot width in accordance with mk’ s profile technology) allow you to easily integrate the conveyors into existing machine frames or to attach stands, side rails, sensors and other accessories. In addition to our wide selection of side rails and stands, we also offer a standard range of end stops and electrical accessories. A further quality feature of this conveyor system is the stainless steel sheet installed below where the belt runs, which ensures longterm wear resistance of the belt.
The mk Technology Group is now also part of the Universal Robots partner network and provides GUF-P 2000 belt conveyor technology which can be integrated quickly and simply into your cobot application through the URCap plugin to control operation mode and speed of the conveyor. mk provides all users of Universal Robots with individual GUF-P 2000 belt conveyors for simple integration in their cobot application. The convenient URCap plug-in simplifies the set-up and programming of the conveyor.
The UR +-approved belt conveyor GUF-P 2000 has a suitable version for every application. Conveyors are available in widths from 50 to 800 mm and lengths up to 10,000 mm. In addition, maximum total loads of 75 kg and speeds of up to 80 m / min are possible. As belt conveyors generally transport the goods without any special requirements in terms of their position or support geometry, they are particularly suitable for vision-supported processes. Since the belt conveyor is constructed in a modular aluminium profile construction, it has T-slots in the conveyor frame on both sides. These facilitate integration into the system as well as enabling side rails, sensors and other accessories to be attached.
The mk-Conveyors-URCap plugand-play solution ensures fast and problem free communication between the conveyors and the cobots. It is compatible with all UR models in the e-series. Installation is simple and the intuitive user interface allows you to control up to 2 belt conveyors. The conveyor receives the commands for start / stop, direction and speed via the plug-in, but can also convey goods up to a sensor signal or for a certain period of time. The process layout remains customisable, even without programming knowledge.
