Unlimited Power for Limited Spaces Richards-Wilcox Twin-Trak Conveyors combine power and free capability with a side-by-side track configuration. Twin-Trak offers the ideal medium- to high-capacity solution where limited overhead space is available for product storage and transportation.
Twin-Trak can be built from pre-existing Richards-Wilcox systems, such as Safe-RailŪ and Zig-ZagŪ. Once a Safe-Rail monorail or a Zig-Zag chain conveyor system is in place, standard in-stock Richards-Wilcox parts can be added to create a Twin-Trak power and free system.
FEATURES:
Eleven Standard Zig-Zag Components.
Twin-Trak uses the same standard components as Richards-Wilcox
chain conveyors.
Eight Standard Safe-Rail Components.
Twin-Trak uses the same standard components as Richard-Wilcox
standard monorails.
Control Systems.
Twin-Trak is available with a variety of state-of-the-art
control components, ranging from simple PLC-based controls
to complex PC-based routing and tracking systems.
Capacities.
Twin-Trak combines a 3/16" plate steel load track with carrier
handling up to 1,000 lbs. for maximum flexibility.
Switching.
Twin-Trak provides switching into and out of main line of
travel in greater frequency (at close load centers) than other
power and free designs.
*Made in the U.S.A.
TYPICAL TWIN-TRAK APPLICATIONS:
- Paint Finishing Systems
- Investment Cast Mold Delivery
- Extrusion Finishing
- Progressive Assembly
- WIP Buffer Storage
- Comber Lap Delivery
- Sliver Can Delivery
- Aerospace Refinishing
- Fiber Delivery
BENEFITS:
Optimizes Low Headroom.
Because of its side-by-side configuration, Twin-Trak can be
installed in facilities having insufficient headroom for other
power and free equipment.
Increases Throughput.
With controlled accumulation, Twin-Trak eliminates the typical
wait time associated with storage banks.
Utilizes Space Efficiently.
Twin-Trak minimizes floor space requirements by storing work-in-progress
overhead, calling it down in the quantity and order needed
at each operation.
Controls Production Rates.
Twin-Trak optimizes production by ensuring that the right
parts arrive at the correct operation in a continuous flow,
especially when rates of production differ between operations.
Maintains Quality.
Twin-Trak eliminates product rehandling and manual transporting
by integrating finishing and assembly processes into one material
handling system.
Boosts Efficiency.
Twin-Trak maintains a traveling record of work-in-progress,
logging information on where product has been and where defects
may have occurred.
