Reduce product waste to products requiring rotation during assembly by lifting and rotating more smoothly. Using a servo-driven Lift and Rotate Unit, you’re able to control rotations precisely (including acceleration and deceleration), combine assembly processes, and minimize product contact. These three steps help to reduce high product waste from rotation in your clients’ automation processes.

Flexible multi-strand conveyor systems are at the heart of what we do here at Glide-Line. Using innovative ideas on how conveyors can be applied, maneuvered, programmed, and designed for maximum efficiency, we’re able to directly impact throughput and improve our clients’ customers’ bottom lines.

A lift and rotate unit is a standard, tried and true offering from traditional conveyor manufacturers. But Glide-Line has taken this standard offering and injected two doses of our signature creativity into the LRU to make it a flexible, creative solution in our modular conveyor automation lines.

Meeting efficiency demands for your client’s pallet conveyor automation system project often means seeking ways to cut down steps in the automation process or reduce the time it takes to complete those steps. The servo-driven Lift and Rotate Unit from Glide-Line can help do both.

Without requiring a conveyor tooling changeover or separate equipment, Glide-Line’s Lift and Rotate Unit is able to smoothly and continuously rotate your pallet precisely or oscillate it between two points with exact accuracy. This can satisfy a number of applications within an integrator’s automation system design. These are some common challenges solved by continuous product rotation on our Lift and Rotate Unit.

An important aspect of automated material handling for many of our integrator clients is the ability to precisely control the motions of each conveyor mechanism. For example, our servo-driven Lift and Rotate Unit is designed to rotate to any angle needed up to 360 degrees. Rotation can be programmed exactly, giving them virtually unlimited control over their device. Whether their goal is visual inspection, etching preparation, winding, or another assembly operation, you’re able to stop the Lift and Rotate at any angle to meet their needs.

A standard curve is useful in most situations for maneuvering relatively square, relatively small pallets around a curve, but what about short and wide, or long and narrow pallets and loads?
