TLicense Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 To be honest it looks like a cheap copy of a MTS road a bit like the one worked on at Williams. Except they're £2.5million squids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Tried to find a picture. I only found this:- http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40708000/jpg/_40708023_williams_203x152gi.jpg&imgrefurl=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/4155219.stm&h=152&w=203&sz=12&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=7GwLtimUCaXEyM:&tbnh=79&tbnw=105&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwilliams%2B%2Bwind%2Btunnel%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26sa%3DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Where do you work dodgy? For a company called HABASIT BELTING. HQ in Swiss? Lots of distributors round the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Not heard of them specifically. We used to get all our belts through MTS though who could be a reseller. IIRC they were something like £120K! At Spyker we use a rubber vulcanised one. Costs £1600. Only down side is it's difficult to use under wheel loadcells with them.

TT-DEK Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Wow, thats cheap. The rubber one i would think, would have tracking problems? The belts we supplied were expensive, but not 120K? The fabric had to be just right, also the vulcanised joint had to be perfect. Very specialised belts for them W/Ts. You wouldn,t think so with what they actually do? We also do the people movers in most car plants now? They stand on these belts, mainly plastic now and move and work on cars at the conveyor speed?

TLicense Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 £120K is for the MTS steel belts. We have our rubber ones joined on site so we pay a small premium for them to take the press apart and transport it here and back. They track pretty well, we have quite a good control strategy. I don't know about being specialised. All we ask of ours is that the join is as flat as possible and that the backing doesn't rub off too quickly.
