Two Specials in One

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

AS65 with Cutout Frame

Today we shipped a set of AS65 conveyors that contained two unique modifications from our specials engineering department: a cutout in the frame and a gang drive system. Our customer requested the cutout to allow a robot arm to pass under the conveyor; even our normal low profile wasn’t enough in this case. Our specials engineering team added a set of idlers on either side of the cutout to raise the belt tight against the frame.

The gang drive allows the two conveyors to operate using a single drive, and ensures that their indexing is synchronized. The part being conveyed straddles the top of both conveyors. A shaft (under the slotted guard) transfers power from the motorized conveyor to the non-motorized one.

Gang Driven AS65

We welcome special applications like this, and have a team of specials engineers dedicated to finding the right solution for any application.

Bird’s Eye View

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Birds Eye View of QC Industries HeadquartersMicrosoft 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.

Pack Expo LogoOn October 13th 1200 exhibitors from the Packaging Industry will be exhibiting in Las Vegas, NV. We have so many customers in the packaging industry we thought it would be nice to show some of the different uses of conveyors in the industry. Over the next two weeks we will blog about some related products that use conveyors, ones that you will certainly see in Sin City if you get a chance to attend.

2007 Tri-State Family Business of the Year Award

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Goering Center AwardThe Goering Center for Family & Private Business recently named QC Industries a finalist in the Innovation Category at this year’s Family Business of the Year award ceremony. This award recognizes the significant impact that family businesses have in our community and the world at large. The Goering Center says that family businesses are responsible for generating more than half our country’s GDP and a much higher percentage of actual employment of the domestic work force. Family businesses are truly the backbone of our economy.

This is QC Industries’ second recognition for innovation this year. In January we were honored for Innovative Business Practices by the Cincinnati/Clermont Chamber of Commerce.
