mk North America, a leading manufacturer of conveyor systems and other material handling solutions, announces the introduction of a new addition to its product line — the TKU 2040 indexing chain conveyor.
Made with mk’s t-slot aluminum extrusions, the TKU 2040 represents “the next generation in attachment chain conveyors,” according to mk Marketing Manager, Kate Nadeau.
Intended to expand on mk’s KTF-P 2010 chain conveyor, the TKU 2040 is specially designed for indexing applications and boasts twin roller chains with the option of workpiece profile pallets or v-shaped fixtures in brass or polyoxymethylene (POM) to hold the products being conveyed.
Optimized for fixed-cycle operation, the TKU 2040 is ideal for automated production applications such as integration with machining stations, marking stations, RFID tagging, painting stations and others.
