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 systems, such as Safe-Rail and Zig-Zag. Once a Safe-Rail monorail or a Zig-Zag chain conveyor system is in place, standard in-stock parts can be added to create a Twin-Trak power and free system. 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.
COMPONENTS
- Uses same standard components as Zig-Zag
- Uses same standard components as Safe-Rail
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.
