Automatic rollers for conveyors

October 8th, 2008 by admin

Automatic rollers need no people to divert the products. The advantage to this is that manpower can be conserved. How does an automatic roller divert items? Well, there are usually two ways: sensor installation or timing. If the speed of the conveyor is constant, people are able to predict where a product is at any given time. By programming the wheels to divert items at specific intervals, a company can automate the redirection process.There are also systems which make use of sensor rollers to detect if a product is nearing the point of the multidirectional top. At this indication, the top activates the rollers facing the right direction.
