Zip Chain enables high-speed, high-frequency operation Less labor required for installation — the plug-and-play design is ready to operate as soon as power is applied, drastically reducing time spent on design/assembly and installation. Tsubakimoto Chain Co., Ltd. (President: Yasushi Ohara, Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka) has introduced the Zip Master, an electric cantilever lifter incorporating Zip Chain that easily handles high-speed, high-frequency operation. This product is scheduled for introduction in June 2018. In the domestic lifter market, electrification is progressing due to improved driving accuracy as well as environmental considerations. This is especially true in the automobile, logistics, and semiconductor industries, where demand for high-speed electric lifters is growing to meet requirements for increased productivity and greater energy efficiency. Tsubaki’s new Zip Master employs the company’s unique proprietary Zip Chain drive system. The smoothly engaging chain mechanism achieves high-speed, high-frequency operation that exceeds the capabilities of devices employing conventional drive methods. The compact cantilever structure integrates a Zip Chain, guide and motor, which makes the device easy to install and simple to maintain. In addition, because the arm is mounted to accommodate the shape of the work, this device can handle various lifting applications including high-speed transfer of parts and even the high load requirements of car bodies and the like.
