SS Drive Tape for Plasma Cutting Machines

The Prolific offers stainless steel Drive Tape for use on Plasma Cutting Machines. Compared to alternative drive methods, stainless steel tape for industrial plasma cutting machines reduces vibration, improves accuracy, and keeps manufacturing environment cleaner. Higher load bearing ability and low mass help improve productivity by positioning the cutting head more quickly while enabling more aggressive speed changes. Customisable for specific applications, stainless steel tape doesn't stretch, provides greater design flexibility, and allows greater cutting head travel distances. Designed to minimise friction, it eliminates mechanical wear that compromises accuracy and positioning in typical lead screw, ball screw, and rack and pinion systems. Smooth surface eliminates particulate debris common to other mechanical systems. Belt Technologies Europe designs and manufactures stainless steel drive tapes for linear positioning applications. Drive tapes are usually affixed with specialised end attachments for easy and strong terminations. Perforations can be added for increased positional accuracy in conjunction with patented timing pulleys. Metal drive tapes do not generate particulates, require no lubrication, virtually non-stretchable and will give you the same precision positioning for the life of the steel tape.
