We have talked on our suction conveyor very often.
It is good at transporting paper and films.Yet its belt surface is always flat due to a flat belt and suction.
It is just like platen, rotating platen.
In general belt surface fluctuation in Z direction is within 50 microns while the belt is rotating.
This is the best tool for continuous inspection by camera or laser.
Please look at belt surface in this video.
