What is a Lift and Transfer Unit? Simply put, the Lift Transfer Unit picks the product up off the conveyor by 8 mm to clear the pallet guide and to complete a right angle transfer from one 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 are bi-directional and can be set up to manage two-, three-, and four-way traffic control conditions.

In this eBook, we will show you how Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor solution can relieve many of your pain points while building the right conveyor system: How Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor Minimize Product Damage Why Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor's Embedded Controls Ensure Smooth Motion Securing Your Product: Specific Solutions For Your Product Type In many cases, traditional accumulation techniques are completely fine. But, in other circumstances, pallets bumping into each other are a big issue with traditional accumulation conveyor designs. This calls for a more sophisticated handling solution. Instead of relying on a traditional single-belt (or chain) method, controlled handling is another solution to consider - a solution that keeps products separate to prevent damage. With Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor’s indexing solution, significantly improved control can be achieved.

In this ebook, we explore how to think differently about automated product rotation by applying lift and drop applications directly to conveyors. Learn to combat: Inefficient throughput, Prohibitive costs, Herky jerky motion, and Overly complicated customizations Don't ditch product rotation or overpay for complex solutions. Learn how to address the big problems with automated rotation simply. Download the ebook now.

If you are like many engineers, you’ve probably been wondering - why doesn’t my current conveyor prevent product damage? Shouldn’t that be one of the primary functions of a conveyor?

In this ebook, we share how to combat surprises in your design change management process more easily, efficiently, and precisely. Combine steps and maximize the time you spend designing your project, and minimize time spent on changes and updates to your designs. Have you ever wanted to: Get the pricing, part numbers, and conveyor design changes done yourself and on your own time, without involving a sales rep? Use CAD models that have pre-configured SOLIDWORKS mates - and make changes to them in-context? Create a unique conveyor solution that's exactly right for you or your client, and doesn't cost more? You don’t have time to waste. Download this practical guide and find out how today.

Glide-Line’s completely configurable roller chain conveyor is the first of its kind, offering precise and dynamic control over the physics of the pallet carrying rollers.

Engineers who want to automate the movement of large, wide, or uniquely-shaped products know the challenges that traditionally come with this request: It can get expensive Configurability is near non-existent Product manipulation is very limited, if possible at all Synchronization between conveyors and devices is often an issue Thankfully, there’s a better way - and it solves all the challenges above, including cost concerns. In this ebook, we’ll walk you through our solutions for specific applications that are uniquely-shaped, “prohibitively” large and wide (according to our competitors), and that often pose problems for automation because they require gentle handling.

Today’s manufacturer demands a custom system that can be quickly designed and delivered. Glide-Line has built its business around meeting this demand, allowing us to provide lead times half those of our competitors. Our conveyor is highly modular and designed intelligently, allowing us to quickly deliver conveyors and devices customized to your clients’ needs.
