Claw

Conveyor Belts ● Conveyer belts- These manipulators can be used to lift objects or move them horizontally. ● They consist of the tank tread kit (P/N: 276 -2168) or chain from the high strength (P/N: 276 -2252) or regular sprocket (P/N: 276 -2166) sets. ● They commonly included something to keep the objects from slipping on the belt. This could be physical structures such as the tank tread upgrade kit's (P/N: 276 -2214) conveyer flaps, zip ties, screws through the tack treads, or metal structures like the angle gusset attached to the tread. ● Many times the conveyer belt is integrated into a roller claw. ● All conveyer belts require at least one motor to activate
