 Custom Ecoflow Conveyor System
Advanced Motion & Controls custom designed and fabricated this 100ft full-line conveyor system used in the production of high end electronic equipment. This unique application featured pneumatic pop-up transfer balls at each work station which allows operators to easily manoeuver the extremely heavy product. With ease the operator can gently lower the product into a comfortable fixed position on the workstation surface. This unique solution incorporated a full range of products including Bosch Ecoflow components, Teseo hard line air fixtures and a multitude of SMC pneumatic components
This process uses specially designed conveyor carts that hold several pallets with the base frame of the product. These carts are first manually wheeled to one end of the conveyor where the product is then loaded onto the line and awaits the first operation. Operators will then manoeuver the pallet onto one of the workstations with the transfer balls engaged. Once the operator has his/her desired position for the pallet, the transfer balls disengage and the product stays rigid on the workstation. After the operator completes assembly, the transfer balls are engaged and the pallet is then moved along to the next workstation. After six operations, the product is complete making a full circle and then transferred back on to the conveyor carts for packaging.
