Conveyor Air Bearings

In their most basic form, New Way® Conveyor Air Bearings offer a superior, non-contact stationary glass chuck solution which also provides for lower initial costs and reduced operating expenditures. Segmented design allows a variety of array configuration alternatives to meet a wide range of machine designs. And discrete, independent mechanical adjustability allows for easier set-up and commissioning.

• Clean Dry Air (CDA) consumption
• Virtually eliminates the disruptive air flow sources innate in extruded products using simple orifices
• Act as a stop-gap filter, trapping any particles which may have escaped the filter system.
• Superior stiffness for faster settling time and higher yield

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Conveyor Air Bearings as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
