When automating your production line for automotive parts or components, gentle product handling is a must. Shuttleworth understands the unique challenges facing the automotive industry and the need for gentle product handling solutions for these applications. Our Slip-Torque chain drive technology is the ideal solution for the automotive industry and is suitable for Class 100 (ISO Class 5) clean environments.
Gentle Product Handling/Accuracy
Positioning parts through the use of automated handling devices provide consistent product control in your line. With Slip-Torque technology, your most fragile parts are handled with care and precision both before and after the sintering process in powdered metal applications. Our close roller shaft centers offer maximum product stability throughout.
Accumulation
When conveying multiple products in multiple lanes, our low line pressure accumulators are the best choice. Our accumulators offer mass or inline accumulation for manual or robotic handling operations using low line pressure to minimize product damage.
