Conveyor
Industrial conveyors have many different designs and uses. Common types are belt, roller, motorized roller and overhead conveyors. We categorize them as floor style (mounted on the floor) or overhead. Use them to move products, create buffers and deliver products in sequence for a production line.
- Moving products from point A to B (to avoid wasted time walking, or to reduce movements of forklifts, etc)
- To carry products that are too heavy to for team members to lift
- To move a product while operators are working on it (or adding to it). Like a final assembly conveyor at an auto plant
- To avoid injury to workers from repetitive movement. Or to prevent damage to products caused by movement
- To deliver products to a robot for processing. Or to receive products from a robot that are ready for the next step
