S-3000CB cross-belt sorter provides high-speed transportation and sortation of fragile products and hard-to-grip packages.
Used in applications from post and parcel to distribution and manufacturing. Scalable design and sortation process can be tailored to any size facility and any product or package.
With individual, motor-driven belted carriers, it features gentle, horizontal item discharge and induction for precise positioning and orientation. Accommodates a diverse mix of products and package types within an individual batch of sorted items.
Carriers accelerate to match induction speeds. Sort discharge can be optimized to a specific product rather than averaged across a range of product. Discharge from carriers is accurate, allowing for closer discharge chute centers and selective positioning of sorted items within a chute.
Operate at up to 472 ft/min. (2.4 m/s) at 65 dB(A).
Offers induction options from multiple small items to longer, heavier items. Can sort heavy items to one side of a discharge and smaller, fragile items to the other.
Standard sorters have a single cross-belt cart per carrier. An optional double-cart version is available.

Model 2200-245-125 Tip-Seal dispense valve dispenses low- to high-viscosity flowable materials. Is also used in high-speed stitching or repetitive on-off applications where short segments of material are deposited onto a surface.
The design is ideal for dispensing solvent-based, moisture-curing and stringy materials such as silicones or polyurethanes. The valve opens and closes its material passage at the tip of the nozzle to precisely start and stop material flow. Sealing at the tip also prevents material from hardening in the nozzle, oozing or dripping.
Pneumatically actuated, the valve has a carbide tip, titanium-coated shaft, hardened seat and wear-resistant fluid seals to extend valve life. The stroke adjuster can set the needle opening to change material-flow rates and bead-profile sizes.
The valve’s precision dowel and screw holes allow easy, accurate mounting. The 2.5” (63.5mm) tip length enables the valve to reach into parts and fixturing. Other tip lengths are available. Material is delivered to the valve by either a metering assembly or under regulated pressure from supply tanks or pumps.

Watlow offers heating solutions with its polyimide (Kapton) and etched foil silicone rubber flexible heaters and hybrid heaters. The thin, robust heaters allow heat to be placed precisely where it is needed because the heater circuit is patterned to meet exact customer specs. Flexible heater options are available for a variety of applications including high and low temperature, vacuum and aggressive environments.
Polyimide heaters are constructed of a thin, lightweight organic polymer film. Said to provide excellent tensile strength, tear resistance and dimensional stability. Features excellent physical and electrical properties which result in thermal stability over a wide temperature range. Ideal for applications requiring low outgassing in a vacuum, or resistance to radiation, fungus and chemicals. Polyimide is also resistant to solvents.
Operates in environments as low as -195°C. Applications include military and aerospace, medical, laboratory research, photographic equipment, optical equipment, LCD displays and computer equipment.
High-temperature etched foil heaters are designed for applications requiring operating temperatures up to 595°C. The heater, only 0.030” (0.76 mm) thick, is insulated with a mica sheet. Is fairly rigid and must be securely, uniformly clamped for support and good heat transfer during operation.
Etched foil silicone rubber heaters offer zoned heating which assure more uniform part temperatures by matching power density to the application demand. Due to the thin construction and low mass design, the unit heats up quickly. Available in circular or two-dimensional shapes. Can be factory vulcanized to the part that offers great bond strength and heat transfer.
Hybrid flexible heaters are silicone rubber heaters with a bonded polyimide power flex-lead. The thin, sturdy units withstand temperature excursions, factory vulcanizing, etc. with the added flexibility of the polyimide heater in the lead area. Can be designed in the exact shape and size needed allowing the part to conform to a piece of equipment. Are moisture- and chemical-resistant.
