Conveyor-Component Models Online

    April 27, 2006
    The developer of VarioFlow conveyor systems has added 2D and 3D models to its Web site for use in designing conveyors.

    The models come in more than 30 formats, including SolidWorks, Pro/E, Inventor, Catia, and widely used 2D formats. Users configure drives for right or left-handed installation with or without motors. Drives, returns, curves, and straight-conveyor sections include the conveyor chain, making it easy to position components in a layout drawing.
