Frequently Asked Questions

Rollers

All of our motor driven rollers are custom made to order. We make part numbers based upon the specifications provided to us to create a roller that will fit seamlessly into your application. Talk to an Itoh Denki representative today to discover what part number is right for your application!

Because we custom make all our rollers, we do not have any full rollers assembled and sitting on our shelves. Rollers are manufactured from scratch each time an order comes into us. We do, however, stock driver cards and other accessories such as extension cables and mounting hardware.

Every Itoh Denki roller has a label located on the cable side that gives its exact Itoh Denki part number.

KF is our call out for mounting brackets not being priced in with the price of the roller. The KF call out is the only call out that is not included on the label located on the cable side of the roller.

The max cable length that we allow is 3000mm.

Driver Cards

Yes. The IB-E03B and the IB-E04F.

Yes. You will need at least the basic connector kit for your IB-E cards to function. We do offer an IB-E I.O kit as well, which is optional.

Both kits and their components can be found in our product catalog.

The IB-E03B is a 10 pin card. Most of our rollers have standard 9 pin connectors (unless the roller is a break roller which switches the pin out from 9 to 10), meaning you will either have to:

A.) order 9/10 pin extension cables to be able to plug your rollers into your cards or
B.) add a Z cable (EX Z060, Z100,Z200,Z300) onto your roller part number to change the pin out on your roller from a 9 to a 10 pin.

All of the technical information about our rollers and cards can be found in our product catalog.

Discuss with your Itoh Denki sales representative what part numbers will work best for your application’s needs. Your sales representative will either provide you with a quote or will instruct you to get quoted and purchase through one of our distributor channels.

If a roller that you have not previously ordered is on your PO, your order will be sent to our engineering department to create an approval drawing of the exact specifications you ordered.
You will need to sign off on the approval drawing if it matches your specifications and return the signed drawing to us.
- Please note that orders will not be processed until a signed approval drawing is received.
After receiving the signed approval drawing, we can process your order as long as no other updates need to be made (part number changes, pricing changes, etc.)

All orders should be sent to orderdesk@itohdenki.com.

We accept all major credit cards, with the exception of Discover. If you are making your first purchase with us, then you will either need to pay by credit card or prepayment.

Terms are available, but are not guaranteed and need to be approved by our accounting department before the credit application process can begin.

After your order is entered and scheduled, an order acknowledgement will be sent to the purchasing agent on the order.

Please make sure to review your order acknowledgement for not only the shipping information, but quantity, part number, and pricing information as well. If there are any discrepancies please contact orderdesk@itohdenki.com. Acknowledgements are usually sent 24-48 hours after receipt of order.

Tracking information will be sent to the purchasing agent on the PO that was sent to orderdesk@itohdenki.com on the day the order ships.

Approval Drawings

An approval drawing is a document that we complete for each new Itoh Denki motorized conveyor roller, or module that a customer purchases.

We complete approval drawings for each new roller or module ordered by a customer because each of our rollers are made to order and we want to make sure that we are building the parts you need to specifications that you require.

When an order for a new roller or module is sent to orderdesk@itohdenki.com, the customer service department will send the order down to our engineering department for an approval drawing to be completed.

Our engineering department will complete the drawing for the part number listed on your PO and then will send the approval drawing to the purchasing agent listed on the order or the quote. The drawing needs to be signed off on and sent back to us before we will enter the order.

Please note, we will not enter an order without receiving a signed approval drawing back. Therefore, if you have accessories on the same order as a new roller or module that needs a drawing, we will not enter the accessories until we receive the approval drawing for those parts. If you foresee this being an issue, a separate PO could always be cut for the accessory items separate from the rollers and modules that need approval drawings.

An approval drawing only needs to be completed for new rollers or modules ordered. If the roller or module was ordered previously and you are looking to reorder the same parts with no changes, then we can use the previous signed approval drawing.

If you are looking to make changes to an roller or module ordered previously, please let us know upon order placement or when requesting your quote.
