From design to installation, Amber Industries completed a AT100 power and free system for a major composites supplier. The MCM Autotrack range of power & free conveyors (AT50, AT100, AT500M and AT600) are specifically designed with the flexibility to allow product loads to be directed along different routes within an overall conveyor system. This means that each specific product type can be identified (electronically or with mechanical flags) and automatically routed to specific destinations, e.g. process plant lines, assembly lines, storage zones, inspection and unload stations etc., in any desired sequence.

2nd July 2019 - Powered Roller Conveyor System Installation Completed

Products can be accumulated on lineshaft conveyors with a queue of items can be allowed to form to create an in-line buffer store without stopping the upstream movement of products on the conveyor system. This is possible because a property of the lineshaft drive mechanism design is that it only generates low levels of line pressure. This is the amount of force acting between touching products in the queue. When products are stopped on the conveyor by a mechanical stop, the friction between the product and the rollers beneath then causes the rollers to stop rotating and the corresponding O-rings to slip on their spools, without affecting any other rollers elsewhere on the conveyor.
