Zone control upgrades maximize accumulation conveyor uptime

摘要

The Accuglide chain driven conveyor and IntelliQ belt driven conveyor have been upgraded with new zone control features to enhance their ability to provide quiet, positive transportation and true zero-pressure accumula- tion. Upgrades include an enhanced sleep mode to reduce noise, energy usage and equipment wear; jam detection logic to identify flow interruptions and command zone shutdowns; and photo-eye visibility to eliminate cost of additional system-level eyes. For streamlined maintenance, visible status lights, device and system-level diagnostics are included, while an on-board independent logic controller stores commands to reduce programming and central computer communication.
