Folding and Perforation: Metal Open Band End Processing


Today we show examples of end processing on metal open band.
In the picture below, end folding on your left and perforation on your right. 


Folding and Perforation at Metal Open Band End
These belts are thickness 0.2mm.  Steel grade is SUS 304H.
This is spring type of stainless steel.
It endures repeated bendings around rollers and pulleys.
So these metal belts are used for power transmission and covers for actuators and protection of certain parts in machines.

4 holes are for fixing this end.
Normally we sandwich this end by unit (Assy) plate block and fix ends.

Ends in the picture are folded.  This is quite rare.  Usually they are straight and not folded.
But we do lots of process and live up to customers' request.
Our minimum lot of open band is one belt.
