Background:
Having proven the performance of Intech iCam Followers� on Belvac neckers, we are now able to offer our customers a ram that does not require any lubrication. Not on the ram, not on the cam followers, not on the cam. Additionally, the iCam Followers do not wear the cam, a significant step forward reducing maintenance and down time. The use of composite easy rolling cam followers, which absorb shock and vibration, opened up new ways to think about full cam contact. It allowed us to simplify the design and introduce one ram to work on all Belvac necker models. The new design together with advances in manufacturing to significantly reduce the ram�s price.
Savings Achieved with the Intech Ram Exchange Program:
No more lubrication on rams, cam followers or cam. Savings on grease, maintenance time and possible can contamination.
Low ram replacement cost. Exchange valid for used Intech or Belvac rams.
No more worn cams. Saving cost of replacement cam and approx. 10 to 15 hrs down time.
Saving on worn metal cam followers.
Prevention of premature cam and cam follower wear due to mal-functioning central lubrication system.
Saving time needed to clean grease from the turret to gain access.
Long wear times. Rams on stages 1 to 3 will last over three years. On stages 7 and higher may last six years and more. Savings on maintenance and down time.
No more repair and assembly of worn rams. Savings on maintenance.
Improved rejection rate to about 0.1%. The square rams guide better. No more lift and twist.
Up to 25% line speed increase is possible due to lighter ram assembly, corresponding lower inertia and easy rolling, lighter weight iCam Follower.
22 to 25% energy savings. We measured 25% less energy consumption on a 795 line equipped with Intech square rams compared with a line using the original Belvac rams.
Simple, proven design. Full cam contact is assured by slightly reduced cam followers' center distance. Shock load is absorbed by the cam follower tire.
With the new Intech Ram you can convert a 10 stage 595 to Super-K and eliminate lubrication and cam wear for under $300K!
