I beam overhead conveyors are available in various configurations and designs to suit different applications and load requirements. Here is a general product overview of I-beam overhead conveyors
1.Track Types: Open Track: Open track systems have an open design with a I shaped profile. They are more economical and offer easy access for maintenance and cleaning. It provides smooth and quiet operation.
2. Load Carriers:Trolleys: Trolleys are the primary load carriers in an I-beam overhead conveyor. They come in different styles and designs, such as push trolleys, power-and-free trolleys, and manual or motorized trolleys.
3. Drive Systems: Motor driven systems use electric motors and drive chains to propel the trolleys along the track. They provide consistent and controlled movement.
4. Control Systems:Some I beam overhead conveyors may have basic manual controls, allowing operators to start, stop, and adjust the speed manually.Advanced systems employ automation technologies such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for precise control over conveyor operation.
Track System: The track system consists of an overhead track that supports the trolleys and guides their movement. The track is typically made of steel can be configured in various layouts, including straight sections, curves, switches, and inclines.
Trolleys: The trolleys are the load carriers that run along the track. They are equipped with four wheels, two on each side, which provide stability and maneuverability. The wheels are designed to roll smoothly and quietly along the track.
Load Handling: it can handle up to 80 kg/hook. Load carriers can be customized to accommodate different load types, such as hooks, hangers, trays, or specialized fixtures. This flexibility makes it suitable for various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing.
Advantages: Flexibility: Individual loads can be stopped, diverted, and accumulated independently, allowing for more precise control and customization. Space Utilization: The overhead design helps maximize floor space by utilizing the vertical space.Versatility: The system can be designed to accommodate different load sizes, shapes, and weights, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The Enclosed Track Conveyor is a highly compact, medium capacity, chain conveyor with unique features to allow for maximum conveying flexibility in small spaces:
Low profile drives
Low profile track sections
Small radius rolled and hardened curves
Small radius sprocket turns
Small radius vertical curves, up to 90° if necessary
Enclosed Track Conveyors are designed to handle 50 lbs. (23 kg) from single pendants, which are standard on 6” centers. Coupling two pendants with a load bar allows up to 100 lb. loads. Distributed loads up to 30,000 lbs. can be conveyed on a 600 ft. system with only one drive.
