An important aspect ofautomated material handlingfor many of our integrator clients is the ability to precisely control the motions of each conveyor mechanism. For example, ourservo-driven Lift and RotateUnitis designed to rotate to any angle needed up to 360 degrees. Rotation can be programmed exactly, giving them virtually unlimited control over their device. Whether their goal is visual inspection, etching preparation, winding, or another assembly operation, you’re able to stop the Lift and Rotate at any angle to meet their needs.
About the Servo-Driven Lift & Rotate
TheLift and Rotate Unit from Glide-Lineis a programmable, stepper- or servo-driven rotating pallet solution with consistent rotation within a revolution. The movement is more than simple oscillation back and forth with a pneumatic motor. The turning servo-driven LRU conveyor pallet moves within a revolution at any angle in unlimited increments and even varying speeds. It’s programmable to accomplish defined, accurate, precision pallet stops within a process. There are three main applications:
Present a product for visual inspection in front of one camera at multiple angles
Access a certain product feature to complete a function
Change orientation as the product goes down the production line
Instead of designing, engineering, and paying for multiple cameras, multiple stations, multiple screw machines, or multiple label applicators (examples of a few workarounds we’ve seen), the LRU can be utilized instead, condensing the system space, making the system more flexible and at much lower cost.
Move a Product Through Programmable Rotation Stops
No matter the number of stops needed within a rotation, a servo-powered rotating conveyor pallet from Glide-Line can make them, inunlimited increments. The pallet can be programmed to stop in one degree (or less!) increments for 360 degrees if that’s what’s needed. You’re not locked into 20-degree course positions; instead, you’re able to design the automation system in the way that works best for the assembly, inspection, and overall process.
Smooth Acceleration & Deceleration
servo-driven Lift & Rotate Unit’s acceleration and deceleration are also smooth at each of those rotation stops thanks to the electric-powered motor. Speed is programmable based on the client’s goals and the product needs to keep it steady and secure. This unique aspect is especially important for fragile products in your clients’ automated material handling process.
