    • Broad range of customization options, including unusual shapes, contours and configurations.
    • Precision grinding for tighter tolerances.
    • Holes, slots, and any CNC machined shape in the belt surface.
    • Combination of primary tooling and secondary machining can achieve any design objective.

    JOINING

    Gates TPU belts can be spliced in a host of different ways, allowing you to choose the option that fits your needs best. Belts can be quickly spliced with our industry leading PosiLace™ or other mechanical fasteners as well as the standard finger and butt welds.

    • PosiLace™ prevents the ingress of microbes, is easy to clean, allows for the use of belt scrapers, includes a unique self-locking pin, and enables the removal and replacement of the belt as often as desired. This pin fastened method meets low to medium load requirements without welding.
    • Thermally welding two prepared ends together allows for a seamless finish that minimizes the potential for bacteria growth. Several welding techniques are available including finger splicing, split tooth, and butt weld.
