Glide-Line’s Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor is a custom accumulation conveyor with an individual drive for every product zone. It eliminates product collision entirely while significantly improving efficiency and reducing wear and tear on the conveyor. By controlling each zone individually, we removed issues caused by product contact and have improved accumulation methods. Get more information below.
Watch the video to compare how the Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor works compared to a traditional conveyor when it comes to control and accumulation. If you’re not convinced this is the best innovation in accumulation since Henry Ford invented the assembly line in 1913, we’ll eat our socks.
This innovation in product accumulation eliminates product collision entirely by placing each product on its own pallet and in its own zone. Controlling the movement of those individual zones prevents pallets from jarring throughout the line or during accumulation.
When the belt isn’t needlessly running, the conveyor doesn’t have friction working against it as products accumulate. This reduces the overall wear on the conveyor.
Since the conveyor sections are only running when they actually need to move somewhere, energy isn’t wasted on immobile products. Plus, the belt isn’t fighting to overcome friction.
“As a provider of mechanical hardware solutions, item North America/MB Kit Systems Inc. sees multiple requests for complex material handling solutions. Clearly, Glide-Line always seems to know what customers need and the new Glide-Line 360 has unlimited solutions for a wide range of applications.”
Rick Sabo, VP Sales & Marketing - NA/MB Kit Systems
“IMPACT! was easy to launch and update. It quickly led me in the direction I needed to define my design. I love having dead accurate CAD files with high detail. IMPACT takes it one step further in that I don’t have to re-download every time I have to make a change. I love having native Solidworks files to integrate into my designs.”
DeWayne Merritt, a 16 year Mechanical Tool Design Engineer for AutoLiv
