Conveyor belts and systems for the automotive industry

Intralox’s SkidVeyor modular plastic belting solutions extend belt life compared to traditional flat belts on press shop conveyors (including stamping press outfeeds). Utilizing heavyweight Series 10000 belting, they enable greater load-carrying capacities, conveyor lengths, and belt life.

The S10000 belt’s modular structure significantly reduces downtime for upkeep and repairs. And because it eliminates lubrication, SkidVeyor belting minimizes contamination threats and maintenance needs.

Advantages of SkidVeyor belting solutions:

• Hard surface reduces belt wear and scratches, resulting in less product contamination
• Positive drive system eliminates mistracking and associated maintenance common with flat belts
• Optional Friction Top surface maintains product position for robotic vision systems
• Flat Top polymer surface reduces skid wear and noise, and eliminates cleaning

Intralox’s tire and wheel solutions solve conveyance problems in both tire and wheel assembly and final part delivery. Automotive manufacturers have significantly improved their operational efficiency with simplified, low-maintenance conveyor belts and equipment.

Applications we support in this area include alignment and centering, 90-degree turns, accumulation, straight runs, incline and decline, and radius curves.

Advantages of Intralox’s solutions for tire and wheel assembly:

• Eliminate rollers and bearings that require frequent lubrication, cleaning, repair, and replacement
• Modular construction ensures simple on-frame repairs that don't require special tools
• Positive drive system eliminates mistracking and associated edge damage common with flat belts
• Reduced noise levels improve ergonomics and worker comfort
• Simple and easy retrofitting, with reduced installation time and costs

Intralox’s solutions for seat delivery eliminate the issues found in traditional roller systems—such as breaking or jamming—to ensure effective, problem-free seat delivery and accumulation. Applications we support in this area include seat transfers and accumulation.

Advantages of Intralox’s solutions for automotive seat delivery:

• Custom made to fit onto existing roller conveyors, ensuring a quick and easy retrofit without drilling or precise location measurements
• Modular construction greatly reduces repair time and downtime risk compared to traditional technologies such as chain-driven live roller conveyors
• Acetal rollers on the roller belt surface rotate in the direction of belt travel to provide near-zero back pressure on accumulation lines

Intralox’s VehicleVeyor solutions for inspection areas reduce costs and increase plant efficiency while avoiding rust and corrosion in wet environments. This Series 10000 solution’s Non Skid Perforated surface reduces slipping to ensure worker safety, and its best-in-class belt strength allows you to carry heavier, concentrated loads.

Applications we support in this area include single-lane, dual-lane, and full-width conveyors.

Advantages of VehicleVeyor solutions for inspection lines:

• Non Skid Perforated belts reduce water carryover in water/leak test applications
• Lack of rust and corrosion reduces expensive repairs and unscheduled downtime
• Wider conveyor allows for moving both vehicle and workers simultaneously
