Buffering systems: PWC buffer belt

Proven and easy buffering and decoupling

The PWC buffer is a linear buffer belt that transports part workpiece carriers (PWC) by means of a friction lock. Thanks to its forced-guided paths, even PWCs with off-center centers of gravity can be moved safely. It serves as a stand-alone device or as an intelligent link between two machines or between man and machine.
