When it comes to coating, finishing, or precision handling of parts, not every conveyor system can get the job done right. That’s where Chain-On-Edge (COE) conveyors stand apart — and Precision Conveyor’s proven COE design leads the industry with solutions engineered specifically for the coating and finishing world.
If you’re looking for a way to move your parts more efficiently — while maintaining tight control, consistent quality, and repeatable results — here are the top five reasons a Chain-On-Edge system might be exactly what you need:
1. Unmatched Part Control
COE conveyors carry each part on an individual spindle or fixture, allowing for precise, repeatable positioning throughout the entire process. Parts can be rotated continuously, held at a fixed orientation, or even detented into multiple indexed positions as needed during coating, robotic handling, or inspection. COE systems deliver tight control you can trust, no matter how complex the process.
2. Perfect for Coating and Finishing
Uniform finishes require consistent movement — and Chain-On-Edge is designed specifically for it. Controlled rotation or fixed positioning ensures even application of liquids, powders, adhesives, or coatings. Plus, the system’s smooth, reliable indexing eliminates the jerks and shakes that can ruin a perfect finish.
At Precision Conveyor, every system is engineered to meet the exacting standards of the coating and finishing industry — with durability and precision that generic conveyor systems simply can’t match.
The Precision Difference
Not all Chain-On-Edge conveyors are created equal. At Precision Conveyor Technologies, our COE systems are purpose-built for the coating and finishing industry — engineered for tight control, smooth rotation, and flawless part presentation.
3. Compact and Customizable Layouts
COE conveyors are a space-saving powerhouse. They can snake through ovens, through automation stations, and into liquid or powder spray booths — all without the drawbacks of traditional overhead conveyors. Overhead systems often require large turn diameters, wider part spacing to prevent collisions from swinging, and more floor-to-ceiling height, while Chain-On-Edge offers tight turns, close part spacing, and a much cleaner footprint.
4. Handles a Wide Range of Part Sizes and Weights
From tiny aerospace fasteners to heavy industrial components, Chain-On-Edge conveyors are built to handle it. Systems can be tailored for lightweight precision parts or rugged heavy-duty loads — even up to hundreds of pounds if needed.
Precision Conveyor’s flexible COE designs allow you to scale your system to your exact product needs — whether it’s small, medium, or extremely heavy-duty.
5. Built for Automation and Efficiency
COE systems are automation-ready. You can easily integrate robotic loading/unloading, vision systems, spray booths, ovens, and inspection stations. Every movement can be tracked, monitored, and controlled, boosting productivity, consistency, and quality, while reducing labor costs over time.
