Servo Vertical Transfer Unit.jpgPneumatic Vertical Transfer Units (VTUs) transfer pallets from one level to another. This unit utilizes a section of transport conveyor as the platform and is actuated up / down (z-axis) by an electric motor - typically stepper or servo. By driving the VTU with a servo or stepper, the VTU can be motion controlled for both smooth acceleration / deceleration as well as multiple stopping positions.  The VTU platform conveyor can operate in either direction, enabling the VTU to accept and discharge pallets from both sides. The unit is supplied as a stand-alone module.

 

Features:

  • Pneumatic (air) actuated Z-axis travel
  • Stand-alone module
  • Adjustable end of travel air cushions on vertical motion
  • Multi-directional powered elevator platform
  • Ability to provide smooth motion control due to electric drive
  • Ability to stop at multiple levels with accuracy

 

Specifications:

  • Stand-alone module
  • Multi-directional powered elevator platform
  • Max Speed – Relative to payload weight
  • Pallet length range – 160mm to 1040mm in 1mm increments
  • Pallet width range – 160mm to 1040mm in 1mm increments

 

 Options:

  • Guard package
  • Step-Servo motor package
