Overhead Power and Free Conveyors are highly flexible and intelligent material handling systems designed for complex manufacturing environments. These conveyors offer the ability to transport, accumulate, divert, and stop individual carriers independently, enabling precise product flow control across multiple workstations.
This advanced conveyor system combines two tracks:
- Power Track: A continuously moving chain.
- Free Track: A non-powered track with trolleys/carriers that can engage or disengage from the power chain as needed.
Key Features
- Independent movement of carriers.
- Built-in accumulation zones without stopping the entire line.
- High-speed transport with selective stops.
- Dual-track system for power and free movement.
- Multiple workstations, loading/unloading points.
- Automatic routing and indexing
Application
- Automotive industry – Body-in-white, paint shop, general assembly.
- Appliance manufacturing – Line balancing for different model sizes
- Heavy equipment assembly – Engines, chassis, subassemblies
- Surface treatment – Pre-treatment, powder coating, painting lines
- General manufacturing – Multi-step process lines with accumulation
