Why did we create the Glide-Line 360 extension of our product line?

INFINITE FLEXIBILITY. STANDARD PRICING.
The pallet shuttle allows traffic to be merged or sorted. For example, pallets can be merged from three lanes into one lane, or they can be sorted from one lane into three.
In it, we cover conveyor rules we’ve broken, 6 customer stories about flexible conveyor solutions achieved without additional cost, innovations capable of meeting or exceeding your expectations of a traditional conveyor system, and more.
The rotate & shuttle allows a pallet to be moved from location to another while at the same time manipulating the orientation of the pallet.
Creating a bypass on a conveyor line assists with improved throughput and efficiency in your customer’s process. A bypass lift, or conveyor pallet vertical transfer shuttle, can be used. A vertical transfer lift is similar to a double elevator, with the main benefits being increased throughput and space savings.
This solution has a small lift and transfer conveyor running the length of a trunk line. It can accept product at one or more locations and drop off at multiple locations along the same trunk.
A VTU base unit can be used to create multiple levels of conveyors or shelves for uses as a buffer system.
The VTU aids in transfer versatility from one line to another line above or below (aka “over/under”).
A Lift and Rotate Unit, or LRU, to convey and orient products for visual inspection. A programmable, step-servo-driven rotating pallet solution or its counterpart, our equally programmable conveyor-shifting floor-mounted solution (the Drop and Rotate Unit), has allowed our integrator clients to change the game of automated visual inspection.
This solution makes a section of conveyor mobile in a single axis so that panels can be received on one or more conveyor lanes and distributed to other lanes.
The Glide-Line 360 solution feels a bit like the internet. For a person who has never used the internet, it’s very hard to describe what it is; the internet cannot be defined or boxed very easily. But once that person has a chance to experience the vast, configurable tool that is the worldwide web, it’s so useful and impactful they can’t imagine life without it after that.
Roller Lift Transfer Units employ a series of rollers to lift and engage the payload perpendicular to the direction of flow. The lifting action raises the payload from the in feed conveyor so it can be moved onto the adjacent transport conveyor. The unit is bi-directional and can be set up to manage two-, three-, and four-way traffic control conditions.
By utilizing 360 on independent conveyor strands, we can automatically adjust the width between strands as the application demands. This can be done on one or both strands.
When you need to save space and time in your automation assembly, combine movements in your conveyors using Glide-Line’s LRU and DART conveyor mechanisms. We’re simplifying the process of shifting pallets and panels by moving the conveyors themselves
By utilizing 360 on independent conveyor strands, we can automatically adjust the width between strands as the application demands. This can be done on one or both strands.
The Glide-Line 360 Kit can transform a standard conveyor into a belted linear actuator. The kit makes multiple accurate axis of control possible, by benefiting from several important design features of the Glide-Line conveyor. Learn more in the unit's application guide.
Glide-Line 360 can shuttle, divert, merge, sort, stack, lift, lower, transfer, and turn – or any combination thereof – in one system.
All of the benefits of our revolutionary 360, but built specifically to handle products directly.
When you're comparing the extreme configurability of the Glide-Line 360 to traditional conveyor solutions, it's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. That's because the Glide-Line 360 is an outside-the-box solution to conveying; it doesn't follow traditional conveyor rules, and that's what makes it so flexible for our integrator clients to use in their conveyor system solutions.
The Glide-Line 360 is a custom solution, standardized.
