We came across this video that shows one of our 125 Series cleated belt conveyors used to transfer reams of paper into a shrink wrapping machine from Pro Pack Group.
We love seeing video of our conveyors in action. If you have videos you’d be willing to share, drop me a line at cthompson at qcindustries dot com.

One of our long-time customers, Tella Tool, is featured in the January edition (PDF link) of Metalforming Magazine. Our 250 Series Center Drive Conveyors form an integral part of their portable automated inspection stations, which have virtually eliminated the defective parts that were being delivered to Tella’s customers.
The inspection stations were designed by distributor Gem Automation to visually inspect automotive frame rails for improperly inserted nuts and bolts. The bad parts are pushed off the line into a locked box for later disposal. The stations can be moved quickly from press to press and configured to detect a wide variety of parts and features.

But we were able to get where we needed to be.”
Our offices will be closed December 22 – January 1 for the holidays. If you have an urgent need during this period, please call our main number (513-753-6000) and leave a message. One of our on-call sales specialists will return your call as soon as possible.
We wish your company, you and your families the best this holiday season and look forward to an even more prosperous 2008 for everyone!

Halloween is always a special holiday for us at QC Industries. We go all out with a costume contest, pumpkin carving contest and a special lunch. It’s always a fun day to get to see a different side of our coworkers than we normally get to see. I’m always amazed at some of the creative costume ideas people come up with. Congratulations to our costume contest winner, Rich May (one of our Customer Support Specialists) for his Captain Jack Sparrow costume.
We hope you and your family have a safe and happy Halloween!

Microsoft has released an update to their Live Search Maps product. For the first time our headquarters are included in the Bird’s Eye Imagery. You can see 360° views of our building and others in the area.
They obviously flew over our area on a very cold day. There’s a little snow left on our roof and the pond is partially frozen.
See if you can find your office in their new imagery and post a link in the comments. You can get a link by clicking the share button at the top of the maps and choosing “send in email.” We’d love to see where our readers are working.

How can a trade show reach one of the largest 200 Trade shows in the US ranked by Tradeshow Week? Apparently it’s easy — get bought by Cannon Communications.
Canon Communications continues to launch successful shows and the Assembly Technology, National Manufacturing Week and Quality Expo 2007 show was just another example. When asked at the show I mentioned our success. If you won’t take my word for it, why else have 980 or 70% of 1400 exhibitors already signed up to exhibit at next years show? Yes the formula is in place and hopefully with a healthy economy these types of results continue. I must say that with us showing our new InnerDrive and Flextrac conveyors and our new Conveyor Configurator software we were very pleased by those results!

QC Industries’ 125 Series Belt Conveyors are used to move the product through the labeling system. The small footprint of our conveyors make them ideal for applications like this, where overall footprint is of the utmost importance.

del.icio.us | Digg it | reddit | StumbleUpon | Yahoo MyWeb |This shop towel bagger from Automated Packaging is one of our favorite packaging applications because it uses three different styles of our conveyors. The infeed to the operator is a 125 Series conveyor and the outfeed is an InnerDrive conveyor that feeds onto a 125Z Series L conveyor.
This was the winner of our Best Use of a Conveyor contest last year.
Automated Packaging has been a valued partner for many years. Be sure to visit them at Pack Expo Las Vegas in booth #C-1723.
