In today’s manufacturing world, your clients’ processes are adapting to an engineer-to-order mindset; their automation processes must be nimble and able to multi-task throughout their facility. Your clients’ AMRs, conveyors, and other machinery often need to handle multiple sizes and shapes of payloads, even within a single shift, in order to remain profitable and comply with the demands of the market.
For small-to-medium payloads up to 200 pounds, the lightweight, strong, and configurable conveyor attachments from Glide-Line are perfect for the nimble-ness that your clients’ changing processes need. We recently shared our four design features needed to create a lightweight conveyor. Here, we will elaborate, specifically with flexible payloads in mind.
To handle varying payloads using a lightweight conveyor for your AMR or AGV, Glide-Line has a number of standard conveyor features to apply to conveyors:
These customizable features are available as standard options, thanks to Glide-Line’s flexible manufacturing process. This is what we do day-in and day-out, so it also doesn’t increase the lead time.
Glide-Line’s conveyors are an efficiently-designed solution with a very high capacity relative to its compact size. The most powerful features include:
These standard features don’t cost a premium in time or money, nor do they increase the lead time.
Using our integrator tools, you’re also able to evaluate the application from a load and capacity perspective within the tool -- all on your own. We’re always available to discuss ideas and any other creative solutions, but it’s not necessary for you to get the information you need.
At Glide-Line, we work to maximize the efficiency of your robots by keeping our conveyor attachments lightweight and compact. Our payload-to-weight ratio is hard to beat thanks to our strong, yet light-weight conveyors that help you to maximize utilization of the robots. When you’re looking for a more agile AMR conveyor attachment that can handle the varying payloads your customers need, do away with heavy, clunky traditional conveyor solutions. Glide-Line is the conveyor manufacturer you’ve been looking for.
