Conveyors & Line Automation
Modular conveyors, accumulation tables, PCB handling and cobot cells that link machines into a line.
Also called belt conveyors, roller conveyors, PCB handling systems and cobot cells.
What these machines do
Machines only perform as well as the handling between them. Conveyors and handling modules set the pitch, speed and orientation each station needs, and buffer short stops so the line keeps running.
Belt and modular-chain conveyors carry primary packs; powered rollers move cases and totes with zero-pressure accumulation. Turntables feed and collect containers. For electronics, magazine loaders and edge-belt conveyors present PCBs to an inline laser marker. Collaborative robots tend marking stations and pack-off points alongside operators.
Typical options
- Variable-speed drives
- Side-transfer and merge units
- Stainless washdown construction
- PLC line control with HMI
