How A Heavy Duty Station-Locating Device Solves Weight Distribution Challenges in Operations

Whether your client’s operation calls for stamping, forming, welding, or even swaging, the challenge of weight distribution for large products or pallets can be an issue when performing operations on a conveyor line. Instead of requiring a move to a workstation off the line, consider Glide-Line’s Heavy Duty Lift and Locate.

Size and Weight Limitations For My Pallet

What Are The Different Size and Weight Limitations For My Pallet on a Conveyor Elevator?

on Friday, October 19, 2018 By |Craig Newberry|0 Comments|Conveyor System DesignsConfigurable Conveyor Technology
Vertical transfer units (VTUs – otherwise known as pallet elevators) can perform functions that would otherwise require another piece – or multiple pieces – of equipment within a conveyor system. This solution saves the space that would have been taken up by ancillary equipment and makes the automated conveyor system more efficient to operate, assemble, and maintain. But one question we frequently receive about these vertical transfer units is about size and weight capacities.

How To Elevate Your Conveyor Lift Application Without Negatively Affecting Product Throughput

Your client's automation process may require product elevation for a number of reasons. Visual inspection, part additions, or using a buffer to accommodate a slower process further down the line are just a few examples where a vertical lift conveyor application may be necessary. But why install a bulky, expensive application when you can accomplish what your clients’ processes need within the lift itself? There are a number of other uses for an enhanced elevator (or vertical transport unit, VTU) on the line that you might not have considered in the past.

4 Customization Tips for Automated Assembly Conveyors

on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 By |Ron Schwar|0 Comments|Configurable Conveyor Technology
Customizing automated assembly conveyors can be compared to customizing a car. When talking to the dealer, you may have a specific feature in mind. If the dealer says the added feature requires customization, you’ll ask instead what’s standard – and then, see if a standard feature can be tweaked instead.

How to Customize Multi-Strand Conveyors & Easily Calculate the Cost of Your Conveyor System

on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 By |Ron Schwar|2 Comments|Configurable Conveyor Technology
Multi-strand (usually twin strand pallet-based) conveyors continue to be a cornerstone in today’s assembly automation conveyor systems. But many manufacturers have slowed or even stopped innovations to these popular tools, assuming that applications engineers will conform their designs to the existing production conveyor systems, rather than looking for better solutions that continue to evolve with today’s customer products and processes.
