The fully modular and standardized VersaFlex flat top chain conveyor system is ideal for complex track designs within a three dimensional space. The different chain widths allow a fast configuration and a problem-free design of the system, alternatively also with workpiece carriers.

VersaFlex Features

• Economical realization of complex track designs
• Simple and fast configuration and commissioning
• Suitable for all industries and compatible with existing systems
• Modular system of standardized components
• Turnkey or as assembly kit
• User friendly and low maintenance
• Can be quickly adapted to new production and environmental conditions
• Saves energy and space
• Accessories, side rails etc. can be attached in the slots on the conveyor frame profile

Overview of the Modules

In addition to the conveying paths, numerous accessory components complete the construction kit to ensure design freedom when constructing the system. mk offers drives, bends and cleats as well as side rails and stands to suit the task and the goods to be conveyed. Various function modules are also available , such as stoppers for accumulating, buffering or separating products as well as switches for distributing the products to several conveying paths.

Leading conveyor system designer and manufacturer mk North America, Inc. has officially announced their launch of a website dedicated to their VersaMove Pallet Conveyor line! We are happy to introduce you to mkversamove.com.

The new website’s design allows for a simplified layout meant to streamline the planning and strategy process for engineers. Say goodbye to websites that have too many pages to click through to get to the information you want and need – and the promise of only displaying the products you are interested in.

New menu and navigation options also make it possible to intuitively move through different platform options, access the various system modules, as well as selecting different conveyor options if needed to complete the process.

New product pages for all available accessories and system modules have also been added. This is the first time the company has made online offerings of the system modules, like stops, locates and transfers for example. Previously, only catalogs could be used to find information on these critical pallet-handling system components. Now everything engineers need to enhance the system is available right on the site.

While this new site uses its platform to focus solely on pallet handling systems, the mk North America website allows for more information on aluminum conveyors, stainless steel conveyors, pallet-handling systems, and aluminum framing offerings.

Replacing QuickDesigner, mk North America’s CAD360! allows for industry-leading speed in the modeling process. Effortlessly model and download not only the simplest of conveyors, but also entire conveyor systems.

Users simply input the target values for length, width and height, select drive location and target options, and the model is generated on demand. All this while working via one web page without having to navigate to multiple pages or install software!

CAD360! allows for 2D and 3D models to be downloaded and includes the use of PDF and JPG files for sharing easily across departments and non-technical teams.

We couldn’t be more excited to introduce CAD360! to you.

Can a Hand Press be Smart?
Yes, it can!

By popular demand SCHMIDT has developed the SmartPress with Cycle Permissive and Part Presence Sensing Controls for SCHMIDT Manual Toggle Presses. The SmartPress features a modified SCHMIDT® Return Stroke Lock, pneumatic cylinder, pneumatic package and small PLC.

Certain conditions have to be met before the press can be cycled. After the operator has completed a full ram stroke the device releases the handle, so the ram can return to the home position.

You will profit from …

1. Each assembly contains 100% of its components
2. Greatly enhanced operator safety
3. Consistent cycle completion rates.

…all this for a low investment.
