The Bosch Rexroth DRIVE KIT (3842537619) is a specialized component designed for facilitating the transport of workpiece pallets within an automated system. This drive kit is engineered to interface seamlessly with a belt section BS 1/T, which connects to the curve output or the return unit UM 1 of a section unit. By incorporating additional drive kits into the system, users can significantly enhance the movement of workpiece pallets, particularly at the beginning and end of curves. This kit is suitable for use in Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPA), ensuring safe operation in sensitive environments where static discharge could be problematic. The conveyor medium utilized is a round belt, chosen for its reliability and compatibility with the rest of the system. One key feature of this drive kit is its flexibility in terms of curve direction; it can be configured for either right (KR = R) or left (KR = L) curve direction, depending on the specific requirements of the application. The installation location AO denotes where on the curve—infeed or outfeed—the drive kit should be placed, which allows for precise setup and optimal function within various layouts. The DRIVE KIT is designed to work with Curve KE 1/O-90 units that lack their own drives and are responsible for 90° curve transport of workpiece pallets. To prevent congestion on these curves and overdrive belts, proper separation must be maintained to avoid any accumulation that could disrupt workflow. It's important to note that this drive kit does not support reversible operation. This means that once installed, it will facilitate movement in one predetermined direction only. This limitation should be taken into account during system design to ensure that it meets all operational requirements without necessitating reverse movements.
