Conveyor Applications

Start with the work your conveyor needs to do

Move parts between automated stations, fit a conveyor into a machine, pause products for an operation or present them for inspection. Explore the application closest to your process, including wet operation and cleaning.

Between automated stations

Automation

Move parts between automated operations, including assembly, robotic handoff and inspection. Conveyor movement connects with the work at each station.

Parts removal and transfer problems

For parts leaving a mold or stamping die, the first task is receiving the released material and carrying it to the right destination. Explore finished-part and runner handling in Plastics & Injection Molding, or under-die collection and scrap removal in Metalworking & Stamping.

If the immediate problem is a part tipping, catching or losing orientation between conveyors, the Transfer & Product Control Guide provides another starting point.

Help choosing a conveyor

The Conveyor Selection Guide explains the main conveyor choices. Conveyor Technologies can help select and configure the conveyor, even when several applications overlap. A brief description is enough to start. Ask for Engineering Help.
