Heavy Duty Lift & Locate

The Heavy Duty Lift and Locate Unit delivers repeatable, positional accuracy within ±.05mm. The vertical lift position is fixed at 1.5mm above the belt, and the unit is designed to handle heavy loads for press operations such as swaging and ultrasonic welding. This unit utilizes a pneumatic shuttle that slips between the baseplate and the […]

Vertical Transport Unit Elevator

The flexibility of our conveyors was the key when developing this unit. Our solution combined three variations on our equipment to create the conveyor system their client was looking for. Our configurable designs allowed for the footprint of the over/under-style conveyor to be optimal for the space. 2) We integrated our zero contact individually-managed accumulation […]

Tandem Curve

Glide-Line curves are a mechanism to change the direction of a pallet. Pallets are conveyed around the curves by means of a solid, round urethane belt that is driven on v-groove pulleys. Small idler pulleys follow the track to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear. Due to the configurable nature of our systems, curves […]

Low Profile Lift & Locate

Low-Profile Lift and Locate Unit (LLLU) offers vertical lift positioning in a small footprint, and it is suitable for applications that require repeatable, positional accuracy within ±.05mm. Additional fit options are available on request for lower tolerance applications. The low-profile design allows the LLLU to be used in situations that have limited clearance below the […]

Lift & Transfer Unit

Lift Transfer Units move work piece pallets from one transport 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 […]

How the Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor Prevents Product Damage While Accumulating

Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor is a custom accumulation conveyor with an individual drive for every product zone. It eliminates product collision entirely while significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing wear and tear on the conveyor. By controlling each zone individually, we removed issues caused by product contact and have improved accumulation methods. Get more […]
