Maximum productivity under extreme conditions

When high-performance thermal cutting machines cut through metal in fractions of a second, extreme temperatures, fine dust, and hot waste are generated. Smooth removal of these residues is essential to maintaining maximum productivity. This is precisely where the new WBCV apron conveyor from Kabelschlepp comes in: With its innovative "double-layer technology," the conveyor system meets all the requirements of modern high-performance lasers.

With the increasing performance of oxy-fuel cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, and laser cutting machines, conventional conveyor belts are increasingly reaching their limits. Kabelschlepp is responding to this challenge with a completely new design. The WBCV apron conveyor combines thermal and mechanical stability through a two-layer construction. Heat shields on the top ensure optimal heat dissipation and can be easily replaced when worn. The supporting substructure guarantees maximum stability – even with large belt widths of up to 2.5 meters. Thanks to this design, the belt can operate reliably even under the toughest conditions and contributes to uninterrupted production of laser cutting machines.

The advantages of this new technology for the user are obvious:

• High thermal stability thanks to cleverly decoupled heat shields (cover layer) – thermal expansion is possible without stress. Due to the imbricated structure of the belt, even large hot parts cause only minimal heat input.
• No long downtimes due to damaged heat shields – these can be replaced individually as "sacrificial plates."
• Spark- and slag-tight – the apron conveyor design has no gaps in the direction of travel. This prevents the penetration of hot particles.
• High rigidity thanks to the composite construction – even large belt widths are accessible for service or maintenance work.
• Compact AND robust – the intelligent design combines high stability and durability with minimal space requirements.
• Easy integration – the WBCV apron conveyor is compatible with existing platform and machine interfaces.
• Increased productivity – continuous discharge of residual materials eliminates the cumbersome emptying of drawer systems.

Optimized for the future of laser cutting technology

"As the market leader in conveyor systems for laser cutting machines, Kabelschlepp has been supplying system solutions for a wide variety of 2D, 3D, and punch laser combination machines for decades," explains Uwe Becher, Senior Manager Sales Conveyor and Protection Systems at Kabelschlepp. "With the WBCV conveyor generation, we are setting new standards and marking another milestone in the development of conveyor systems that meet the increasing demands of extreme laser power."
