Pallet Transport Conveyor
Twin Strand Pallet Conveying
The Twin Strand Transport Conveyor is a material handling solution of two or more strands, transporting panel-like products or large, platform-type fixtures from workstation to workstation. With the addition of our Roller Lift Transfer Unit, transport conveyors can be connected in many ways to suit a variety of assembly system requirements.

Lift Transfer Unit
Accuracy with a Small Footprint
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 are bi-directional and can be set up to manage two, three, and four-way traffic control conditions.

Curve Conveyor
Smooth Pallet Curving
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 can be configured as options of 30, 45, 60, 90, and 180 degrees, other custom options are available upon request.
Tandem Curves:
One variation of a curve is a Tandem Curve which allow pallets to transfer to/from parallel conveyor lanes, maintaining the leading edge of the pallet as it travels. The unit provides an economical approach to lane transfers, and if slaved can save several drives required for a traditional solution. Gap between parallel conveyors can range between 45mm and 350mm in 1mm increments.
Videos
Specifications
- Curves are suitable for pallets with 1.5:1 length to width ratio
- Curves are suitable for pallets that are up to 400mm x 400mm
- Curves are suitable for loads up to 44 lbs (20 kg)
Features
Curves are typically slave driven off adjacent conveyor by extending the o-ring belt into the upstream or downstream conveyor. The upstream conveyor utilizes a power take off shaft through a secondary drive box on the main conveyor and this shaft drives the v-grooved o-ring belt pulley.
Options
- Self-powered curve options available upon request
- Various angles to suit your needs, configurable from 15 to 270 degrees
Pallet Stops
Fully Configurable Lift Positioning
Glide line offers a wide variety of pallet stops to suit the traffic handling demands of your application. They are broken into 4 general categories:
- Dampened Pallet Stops
- Non-Dampened Pallet Stops
- Anti-Rebound Pallet Stops
- Drop-Away Stops
Videos
All stops can be configured to be pneumatically single or double acting, to stop work-piece pallets so an operation can be performed. Dampened Stops offer a pneumatic cushioning force to the work piece that slows the impact of the pallet against the stop. The cushioning force can be adjusted to suit specific application needs. Larger stops and higher cushioning forces are available upon request.
Anti-Rebound pallet stops can be utilized as a unidirectional stop gate to prevent pallets from moving if the conveyor belt reverses direction in the application.
Drop-Away pallet stops are designed to work at an LTU (Lift and Transfer Unit) intersection where pallets are required to traverse in multiple directions.
Specifications
- Flexibility in the design and can also accomplish the same result with the lift and position kit (minus the cross bars).
- Station or conveyor mounted.
- Hydraulic shock absorbers for vertical motion.
- Standard stroke lift range 1mm to 200mm
- Short stroke lift range 1mm to 75mm
- Precision lift height adjustment +/- 10mm
- Lateral and vertical location repeatability within .05mm.
- 40mm bore lift cylinder.
- Lift capacity – 150 Lbs. @ 80 psi.
- Pallet length range – 160mm – 1040mm in 1mm increments.
- Pallet width range – 160mm – 1040mm in 1mm increments.
- G1/8 ports
Features
- Pneumatic lift actuation.
- Station or conveyor mounted.
Options
- Guard package
- Mid and High tolerance locating pins available
