Pneumatic Vertical Transfer Units (VTUs) transfer pallets from one level to another. This unit utilizes a section of transport conveyor as the platform and is actuated up / down (z-axis) by an electric motor - typically stepper or servo. By driving the VTU with a servo or stepper, the VTU can be motion controlled for both smooth acceleration / deceleration as well as multiple stopping positions. The VTU platform conveyor can operate in either direction, enabling the VTU to accept and discharge pallets from both sides. The unit is supplied as a stand-alone module.
