TELESCOPIC CONVEYOR

Image
  TELESCOPIC CONVEYOR ·          •            Telescopic conveyors are the best equipment   for warehouse units, either when it becomes necessary to increase their performance or when the available space is limited or, when it is not possible or economically workable to reconstruct the entire system.   TRANSPORTSYSTEM AUTOMATION ·          •            A telescopic conveyor is an Effective measures in package handling applications. After extension, it minimizes the need of manual handling of products by operators. When necessary, the dropping or reception spot can be moved directly to the side of the operator by joystick movement.   ·          ADVANTAGES: ·          • improved work ergonomics ·          • faster loading and unloading              • safe and reliable operation ·          APPLICATIONS •            Telescopic conveyors are mainly used for flexible unloading and loading of trucks and trailers to 13.5 m in length.

Definition: What is a Scissor Lift?

Image
  Definition: What is a Scissor Lift? A motorized vehicle with a working platform that can be raised straight up is known as a scissor lift. Criss-crossing metal supports that extend as the platform is Up -Down are the basic feature of scissor lifts that distinguishes them visually from other equipment used to work in higher elevations. The electric- or Hydraulic-powered Pack platform that is mounted on folding arms is used to provide elevated work areas or to help raise or lower unit loads. The objective is to access hard-to-reach areas in order to perform whatever work is required . Scissor lifts provide a mobility means of reaching areas that are very high. In the materials handling industry, these include tops of racks. These machines vary in size. Small lifts, four feet wide, are often used to help navigation within and between tight isles inside go-downs. Scissors lifts allow workers to work at areas high above ground level without any concern for a balance that they

Telescoping conveyor drive system

Image
  Telescopingconveyor drive system Abstract An extensible conveyor device is disclosed, comprising a fixed conveyor section, an extensible movable conveyor section relative to the fixed conveyor section, and a moving assembly configured to move the movable conveyor section relative to the fixed conveyor section. The moving assembly is attached to the second conveyor section and engages with the teeth of the first conveyor section to move with respect to the plurality of teeth attached to the first conveyor section. It is provided with a tooth engaging device configured in. The system for moving the first elongated structure relative to the second elongated structure is configured to attach to the second elongated structure with a plurality of substantially linearly arranged teeth for attaching to the first elongated structure. Includes a tooth engagement device. Includes a chain loop that engages the teeth such that the rotation of the loop moves the first elongated structure re

Manipulator (device)

Image
         Manipulator(device) In robotics, a manipulator is a device that is used by an operator to modify material without direct physical contact. These applications were originally used to use radioactive or bio hazardous materials, to use robotic weapons, or to access them. In recent times they have been used in a wide variety of applications in welding automation, robotic surgery and aerospace. It is an arm-like mechanism consisting of a series of sections, usually sliding or connected cross-slides, which grasp and move objects with many freedoms. In industrial ergonomics, a manipulator is a lift-assist device used to lift, tact, and process workers who are too heavy, too hot, too large, or otherwise difficult to handle by hand for single workers. As opposed to vertical lift assist (cranes, panels, etc.), the handles have the ability to reach tight places and remove work pieces. A good example is to remove a large stamped part from the press and place it in a rack or similar c

Scissor lift

Image
  Scissor lift Scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevated work platform (MWP), used to provide temporary access to heights. They are usually used for temporary maintenance purposes and for construction work. Charles Larson of the United States patented the first scissor lift in 1963, but he did not invent it. It was invented by John W. Parker of California.   Unlike some other types of elevated platforms, scissor lift platforms can only move vertically, enhanced by folding support, attached to an ‘X’ pattern known as a pantograph. Pressure is applied to the outer side of the set of lowest supports, which increases the cross-crossing support and extends the platform.   Scissor lifts are usually diesel-powered. The platform will be lowered without the use of a power system except for hydraulic or pneumatic pressures.   A section can be placed on the outside to allow the platform to move as close to the required area as there is a limit to th

HIGH SPEED INDUSTRIAL DOORS: THE BASICS

Image
  HIGH SPEED INDUSTRIAL DOORS: THE BASICS Here are the basic bits of information that you need to know about high speed doors for your industrial application - what they are, why they are valuable for a variety of industries, and what characteristics you should look for. What are high speed doors? High speed doors are pretty much self-descriptive! They're faster versions of conventional door systems such as roller doors, sectional door , PVC fabric door, or roller shutter. In order to operate at speed, the design of the high speed door is critical to ensure longevity of parts, most efficient energy consumption, and reliability in high usage. High speed doors are typically designed to integrate with the traffic movements within your organisation, whether that be pedestrian traffic, forklifts, vehicles or automated conveyors. For this reason, it is critical to scope the design and selection of the high speed door and ancillary activation systems to best match the traffic ch

DOCK LEVELLER

Image
  DOCK   LEVELLER A dock leveler is used to move goods from the warehouse to the vehicle, this helps to adjust the height. This ensures a smooth transition. Height adjustable metal platform Dock lifts do a similar job and they prefer dock levelers more. Different Types of Dock levelers Hydraulic leveler Designed for high capacity hydraulic dock levelers, loading and unloading products in the loading dock is easier than mechanical processes. Mechanical levelers The mechanical dock leveler is easy to operate, durable, reliable and energy free. If at a later date you want to change the mechanical leveler to a hydraulic leveler, Pentalift can convert the leveler into a hydraulic conversion kit. Air levelers   The airdock leveler operates using an air driven system. If you are considering an air dock leveler, we recommend that you choose a hydraulic leveler instead. It is highly secure, the installation process is cheap, easy to clean, and has a lot of customization optio
