Unlocking Precision and Efficiency: A Deep Dive into Sankyo Automation's IC80 Series

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing landscape, precision and efficiency are paramount. At Sankyo Automation, we are committed to delivering solutions that meet these demands. Our IC80 Series Precision Link Conveyors exemplify this commitment, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability for linear assembly applications.

Unmatched Precision and Speed

The IC80 Series is engineered to achieve feed pitch accuracy within ±0.1 mm (±0.0039 inches), ensuring consistent and precise positioning for your assembly processes. Capable of operating at high speeds, these conveyors enhance productivity without compromising accuracy.

Zero Backlash Design

A standout feature of the IC80 Series is its zero-backlash design. Each link is preloaded in the X, Y, and Z axes, eliminating any play or movement that could affect performance. This design ensures smooth and reliable operation, even under demanding conditions.

Robust Load Capacity

Each chain link in the IC80 Series boasts a static force capacity based on load distance from link face and the conveyor orientation that provide the strength needed to handle substantial loads. This robust construction makes the IC80 Series suitable for a wide range of assembly tasks, from delicate components to heavier assemblies.

Versatile Applications

The IC80 Series is ideal for linear inline assembly processes requiring precise positioning. Its modular design allows for reconfigurable lengths, accommodating various product sizes and production requirements. Whether serving as the main chassis for assembling multiple components or integrating into existing systems, the IC80 Series offers the flexibility and reliability you need.

Customizable Options

To meet diverse manufacturing needs, the IC80 Series offers several customizable options:

- Link Sizes: Choose from 80, 120, 160, and 240 mm (3.14, 4.72, 6.29, and 9.44 inches) link sizes to match your specific application requirements.

- Drive Mechanisms: Select between fixed motion indexing drives or programmable servo motor drives, depending on your operational needs.
