Vertical Transfer Units (VTUs) transfer pallets from one level to another. This unit utilizes a section of transport conveyor as an elevator platform and benefits from a vertical servo-driven actuator for positioning. The elevator platform conveyor can operate in either direction, enabling the VTU to accept and discharge pallets from both sides, and the servo […]
Glide-Line – Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor, a gentler, more reliable and energy efficient conveyor solution by eliminating 100% of product contact and backpressure caused by accumulation. With traditional conveyors, there is often backpressure from upstream pallets, motors running continuously, unnecessary wear and tear on the entire system and continuously running the conveyors which wastes energy. […]
This zero contact zoned conveyor is designed to handle appliances directly on the conveyor belt (with no pallet on the conveyor system). Watch and Learn more as Kevin Mauger, President of Glide-Line, explains the what, how and when of the conveyor. https://www.glide-line.com/zero-pressure-conveyor-for-appliance-handling […]

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 […]
DART Drop and Rotate Transfer Unit is a revolutionary innovation for pallet and work piece handling designed to simplify layouts and reduce cost. This specialized hub has been specifically design to maximize layouts and save complexity and cost. The DART system is a powered conveyor that can rotate from 1 degree to 360 degrees to […]
The Conveyor Rotator is a revolutionary innovation for pallet and work piece handling designed to simplify layouts and reduce cost. This specialized hub has been specifically design to maximize layouts and save complexity and cost. The CV Rotator system is a powered conveyor that can rotate from 1 degree to 360 degrees to accomplish almost […]
The Glide-Line 360 is a custom conveyor system that can be configured in literally hundreds of thousands of ways to meet your needs. It can shuttle, divert, merge, sort, stack, lift, lower, transfer, and turn – or any combination thereof – in one system. The best part? It doesn’t cost additional time or money, because […]
The Glide-Line™ Lift Gate offers an ideal operator pass-through solution for conveyor lines that inhibit access to areas of equipment. The ergonomic, pneumatically-assisted lever action is ideal for safe ingress and egress of workers in a production cell. […]
Glide line offers a wide variety of pallet stops to suit the traffic handling demands of your application. They are broken into 3 general categories: Dampened Pallet Stops, Non-Dampened Pallet Stops and Anti-Rebound Pallet Stops. All stops can be configured to be pneumatically single or double acting, to stop work-piece pallets so an operation can […]
Conveyors are typically doing the moving in your automation assembly. But Glide-Line’s LRU and DART applications are stepping outside the norm. We’re simplifying the process of shifting pallets and panels by moving the conveyors themselves. Learn more at Glide-Line.com. […]
