@wastedsaw There certainly is. You can use several approaches, all of which involve the use of electrical controls and pneumatics. A product being carried can have a barcode, RF ID tag, or other such identifier attached and when the item reaches a decision point (a switch, or a stop) the item's ID is relayed to the brains of the system (a PLC, computer or logic device) and a signal is sent back to theconveyor to say "stop that product here" or "divert that product now" .
Exciting. I could use this kind of tracking system on my both powder coating cabins and I can have them placed parallel and increase OEE levels of the paintshop. The question is, for each set of tracks, how much weight they can withstand? and what is the maximum possible gap between two tracks?I have parts starting from palm sized with a couple of hundreds of grams, to wide an long (100cmx300cm) up to 15 kilograms.
Hi, our conveyors have industrial ratings suitable for the automotive industry. The load carrying trolleys have 100 kg per trolley rating which is more than robust enough for your application. The yellow bar (called a loadbar) is attached to 2 trolleys which would give you 200 kgs per loadbar (or 100 kg per trolley x 2 = 200 kg)!
Hello Pacline Overhead Conveyors At my company we are having issues with trollies being pushed by the trolley behind. My opinion is that the tail of the flapper is starting to get a flat-spot (versus smooth radius) making disengagement from the drive dog more difficult when it hits the leading trolley. Results in an audible "CLICK" This has caused chain tension at lock-out points and eventual failure (overload) at VFD controller. Please advise if you have other ideas. P
Hi Frank, sorry for the late response. You can e-mail us at sales@pacline.com with some information about your project and an engineer will get in contact with you from there! Thanks.
Hi Jose, for safety, the Power and Free conveyor is designed so that the trolley cannot accumulate on inclines and declines, therefore the inclines and declines have tight track (no accumulation) where the pusher dog is engaged further into the trolley flappers so that the trolley cannot disengage from the power chain pusher dog. Hope this answers your question!
We are on the lookout for a Partner who can have a Technical TieUp for Manufacturing LIFT required in POWER & FREE O/H Conveyor & FOUR WHEEL TROLLEY on which Hanger is suspended.If interested please revert immediatly. Regards, Samir Samarth
