BENEFITS
AND ADVANTAGES OF THE CDS PRECISION LINK CONVEYOR
There
are many technical benefits and advantages which make the CDS
Precision Link Conveyor the best value in the market place.
For many years, Cam
Driven Systems (CDS) has manufactured their own proprietary design of
solid cam followers. These have proportionally larger diameter studs and
thicker roller shells than needle-type cam followers of similar size. CDS
cam followers are solid friction followers with no needle bearings.
The most common failure of most indexers on the market is the
wearing out and eventual failure of the needle bearings inside the cam
follower. The CDS
cam follower design has eliminated this problem, and provide a much
thicker outside wall, which will better absorb extreme shocks or
overloads.
Cam
followers with needle bearings, as used by most
competitors, have a thinner outside wall thickness in order to house the
needles. This thinner outside wall is also more prone to cracking over
time or by machine overloads and jams. The CDS
design is meant to have the cam followers last much longer.
In
addition, CDS designs their units so that there are always two cam
followers engaged throughout the entire operation. This provides
more accuracy and rigidity for their units.
CDS indexers have a rated capacity based on a
conservative safety factor of 1.75, compared to 1.3 used by most other
manufacturers.
Quality Assurance
CDS is an ISO 9001:2000 certified facility.
All manufacturing processes are closely monitored for process
compliance. CDS
uses Zeiss Centermax CMM for in process shop floor inspection of machining
processes.
Warranty
Period
CDS will provide a two (2) year
warranty on all products that they manufacture.
