CDLR: Right-Angle? Right Solution!
A loyal customer threw us a real doozy: convey 600lb pallets of slightly unstable product through a sharp 90-degree transfer, then accumulate the pallets for an autonomous forked AMR to pick-up – all while maintaining the 4½” elevation, without digging a pit through their factory floor.
This sounds like a job for Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR)!
We rolled up our engineering sleeves and got to work. Stainless steel rollers? Check. Super-tough ProCoat chain loops? You bet. And for the frame? Powder-coated perfection!
Powering the action? Washdown-rated 24VDC motors from Itoh-Denki with their smart Ethernet/IP, 2-zone, Zero-Pressure, control cards. This ain’t no ordinary conveyor system, folks.
The 90-degree transfer? We met that challenge with an L-shaped puller arm, driven by a 460VAC beast of a motor. No pneumatic cylinders here – we needed precise speed control for the smoothest transition possible.
Before we shipped this masterpiece, we built and tested the entire system right here in our facility. Why? Because we don’t just design, we deliver.
This isn’t just a conveyor, it’s a testament to innovation, precision, and a whole lot of LEWCO “can-do” attitude.
