Getting to Know: The Lift and Transfer Unit

Lift Transfer Unit What is a Lift and Transfer Unit? Simply put,theLift Transfer Unitpicks the product up off the conveyor by 8 mm to clear the pallet guide and to complete a right angle transfer from one conveyor to another. Each unit contains a pair of belts that lift to engage the pallet perpendicular to the direction of flow. The lift action raises the pallet up and over the guide rail so it can be conveyed onto the adjacent transport conveyor. Units are bi-directional and can be set up to manage two-, three-,and four-waytraffic control conditions.

Built to your specifications, our highly configurable Lift Transfer Units are customizable to your client’s process, is available at any size in 1mm increments, and has options for drives (including a 24 volt DC option). It’s streamlined using the latest technology.

So, hit the turn signal,cause your pallet can now change lanes!

We build the Lift Transfer Unit to the client’s specifications to meet their exact design criteria, but depending on the layout and the customer’s needs, we’ve also offered customization on the top plate. For example, we have altered pallet top plates so they could be ported or modified to be used as a workstation and a transfer and not just a standard stand-alone transfer.

We’re able to locate the pallets accurately within five thousandths of an inch, allowing the pallet and the LTU to assist in automation operations.

The conveyor belt itself is also configurable. We use T5 timing-style conveyor belts for positive drive. We have several belt materials available to service a wide range of pallet handling conditions, including antistatic materials available suitable for operation in static-sensitive areas or with static sensitive payloads. The conveyor utilizes all ball-bearing-supported rolling elements for long, maintenance-free operation.
