Discover more about the launch of the new mk products below; all designed to offer businesses maximum flexibility and reliability in process automation.
Comprehensive relaunch of the GUF-P MINI small conveyor
mk has given its tried and trusted GUF-P MINI small conveyor an overhaul.
The GUF-P MINI small conveyor series offers versatile solutions for transporting small and light products in systems with limited installation space. With widths ranging from 50 to 300 mm and lengths from 350 to 3,000 mm, it provides flexibility and can be used in reverse, accumulated and cycle operations.
Thanks to its low installation height of circa 35 mm including belt, the GUF-P MINI is ideal for the immediate output of products in applications, such as injection moulding machines or automatic small parts stores.
The small conveyors are equipped with a head or lower belt drive tailored to a variety of speed and load requirements as standard. The right motor is available for every application, from asynchronous AC motors, to 24 V DC motor variants, and 48 V stepper motor options.
The crowned driving and idler rollers simplify belt adjustment and ensure that the conveyor belt runs in the centre of the conveyor frame.
The T-slots running along both sides with a 10 mm slot width enables easy integration of the conveyors into existing machine frames or attach stands, side rails, initiators and other accessories via standard T-nuts.
Fully electric expansion of the pallet system Versamove
mk has expanded its workpiece carrier system, Versamove, with fully electric functional units. For efficient and environmentally friendly process automation, the lift-and-transfer conveyor HQZ, the lift-and-rotate unit HDE, the lift-and-locate unit PE, and the stoppers SU/SD are now also available in fully electric variants. This completely eliminates the need for a compressed air supply and means they can be retrofitted into existing Versamove systems with ease.
Benefits of fully electric modules:
- Environmentally friendly
- Pre-assembled cabling (plug-and-play)
- Energy efficiency
- Quiet operation compared to pneumatic alternatives
- Low-maintenance
- Flexible control
- Quick commissioning
- No compressed air required
Versamove standard is the most compact of the Versamove systems. It offers fully electric functional units and affordable curve modules. Due to the specially developed 45 mm aluminium profile for the basic structure of the entire system, it is also compatible with other systems and workpiece carriers available on the market.
Versamove standard transports workpiece carriers from 240 x 240 to 400 x 400 mm, with custom dimensions or dimensions in 80 mm intervals possible. The system can move pallets weighing up to 40 kg. The special feature of this system is its affordable curve modules, which are equipped with a flattop chain or, for compact curves in tight spaces, with a round belt.
