The VarioFlow Modular Conveyor brochure helps in the design and implementation of flexible conveyor systems for material handling and packaging applications. Contains information about flexible chain styles and widths; profiles and guides for unique layouts; drives and gear motors for lower energy usage; UltraCurve technology to minimize friction; work-piece pallets for special applications, and other conveyor components. Also includes information on adaptive modularity for creating conveyor layouts that are easy to install and reconfigure. A selection guide helps readers match VarioFlow and VarioFlow S chain types to a given application.

These vertical thermal shock chambers incorporate a compact design, air-to-air, chamber with ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ zones for thermal shock testing. Hot zone has a temperature range of 70°C to 210°C; the cold zone has a temperature range of -75°C to 190°C. May be operated as an independent thermal cycling chamber. Offers interior workspace of 1 x 3', 3 x 3', and 9 x 3'. Features a CSZ EZT-560i touch-screen controller; incorporates data logging, data-file access via USB-compatible memory stick, Ethernet control and monitoring, alarm notification via email or phone text message, data-file backup, and full-system security. Also includes emergency-power switch, traveling cable port, casters and leveling legs.
