PosiGrip Accumulation Roller Conveyor Eliminated Contact
Description
PosiGrip is an accumulation conveyor that features non-contact, zero pressure accumulation that stages from the discharge end around virtually any degree of curve. The design is ideal for the computer and electric component, food & beverage, appliance, automotive, and glass industries when non-contact between products is crucial.
The accumulation zones are driven by motorized rollers, each with a drive card with settings to allow easy adjustment of speed. The drive roller stops as the product reach the photo-eye at the discharge point of the zone, virtually ensuring no contact. Zones can be individually controlled for specific assembly areas and are available up to 75 in. long and 48 in. wide. When used with the PosiGrip roller curve, the curve allows for uninterrupted accumulation with no external sensors or logic required.
The patented PosiGrip roller drive gear teeth are formed directly into the rollers and powered by smooth, quiet synchronous belting in a positive drive. This provides superior drive force compared to line shaft and O-ring styles of conveyors. The rollers are driven by belts so there is no metal-to-metal contact resulting in quiet operation. It requires no lubrication and there are no separate sprockets, gears or welded drive components making it cleaner and easier to maintain than comparable conveyors. Ideal for any work condition, the PosiGrip runs smoothly in both clean and tough conditions.
Other advantages include low power consumption (zones only run when required), variable speed in individual zones (to create product spacing), and reduced installation time and field wiring costs due to pre-assembled and pre-wired modular sections).
