…depends on supply chains operating at the highest-levels of precision possible. Materials arrive on-site just before manufacturing commences, enabling production operations to stay lean and squeeze maximum output out of available space, but leaving little slack time or margin for error. This paradigm pressures each piece of the supply chain to hold up its end of the bargain, from shipping vessels to materials handling equipment. The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges to global supply chains, with lockdowns and public health effects wreaking havoc and causing delays for finely tuned manufacturing operations. But that was just the beginning – semiconductor and…

…directly into the actuator’s aluminum carrier. The rack offers precision tooth forms identical to the static belt it replaces and is molded from an equally rugged polyurethane - with a 50 Shore D hardness and minimum 4,500 psi tensile strength. The design now allows integrators to splice ServoBelt sections just as they would with a traditional rack-and-pinion, using a simple tool similar to a tooth rack. Bell-Everman said it also offers significantly more resistance to tear-out forces than the earlier design. The latest generation of ServoBelt includes the new molded belt trays, along with QR codes to take personnel directly…
