460 VAC Zone Accumulator Conveyor Control Platform
Key Features and Technological Superiority
The 460VAC Accumulator Conveyor Control Platform is engineered with advanced MDR-like control, accommodating higher horsepower requirements without the complexity and costs typically associated with conventional control of product accumulation.
With a plug-and-play setup, the system requires no programming nor 3rd party PLCs, making installation quick and effortless.
This system integrates seamlessly with existing linear conveyor setups such as chain conveyor, chain driven live roller, or belt conveyor. This system communicates effectively both upstream and downstream. It is tailored for end-of-line accumulation for AMRs, AGVs, and forklifts, ensuring a smoother, more efficient workflow.
Cost-Effective and Energy Efficient
One of the outstanding advantages of the 460VAC Accumulator Conveyor Control Platform is its cost efficiency, offering significant savings of $10,000 over other zone accumulation conveyors and controllers. In addition to the cost savings, the flexible system includes energy-saving features such as sleep and wake-up functionalities, which help reduce energy consumption during downtimes.
Enhanced Safety and Flexibility
This 460VAC Accumulator Conveyor system incorporates dual channel safety and built-in jam protection, ensuring a safe operating environment. It also boasts modular flexibility with pre-engineered controls, allowing for easy expansion and reconfiguration without additional programming.
Applications
This system is perfect for a variety of applications including:
- AMR/AGV pickup/drop-off points
- Shipping staging lines
- Work and assembly cells
- End of line accumulation
Easy, Plug-and-Play Zone Control with Industrial Kinetics Zero Back Pressure Accumulation System (iZAC)
The control system of the 460VAC Accumulator Conveyor is the Industrial Kinetics Zero Back Pressure Accumulation System (iZAC).
This cost-effective control system ensures seamless, back-pressure-free product flow through its easy to configure zone controllers and integrated photo sensors. With features like Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) and Slug Release modes, the iZAC system offers flexible operation to suit your production needs.
Features and Benefits:
Efficient Motor Control - The iZAC system provides a straightforward, cost-effective solution for managing multiple motors in a linear configuration. Each motor-controlled conveyor section holds and moves production units seamlessly, ensuring smooth, back-pressure-free product flow.
Advanced Zone Controllers - Each conveyor section is equipped with a zone controller featuring an AC drive and integrated logic to manage zero pressure accumulation functions. These controllers ensure sequential and orderly product movement across the system.
Integrated Photo Sensors - The system includes zone photo sensors to detect the presence of products on the conveyor. These sensors help manage the movement and accumulation of items, preventing unnecessary stops and ensuring continuous flow.
Flexible Power Management - Power is distributed efficiently across the system using power and control cables. The system's main power supply and control unit (PSCU) provide centralized power management, with auxiliary PSCUs available for extended configurations.
Two Operating Modes:
ZPA Mode (Zero Pressure Accumulation) which ensures products move one at a time from the most upstream to the most downstream conveyor, maintaining a set spacing without back pressure.
Slug Release Mode which allows for the simultaneous discharge of products across all conveyors, ideal for clearing jams or bulk processing.
Ease of Installation and Use:
The system includes simple steps for connecting AC power module, zone controllers, photo sensors, and motors. Power-up checklists and diagnostic indicators simplify the installation process. Workstation mode options allows customization for specific tasks, such as inspections or loading/unloading, with easy-to-use hardware like foot switches, pushbuttons, and pull cord switches.
Safety and Compliance:
The iZAC system built to industry standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation. It includes features like emergency stop circuits and safety relays to enhance operator safety.
Versatility and Expandability:
Accessory Integration- The system supports various optional accessories, including wake-up photo eyes and backup photo eyes, to enhance functionality based on specific needs.
Scalability: Additional power supply units can be integrated for larger setups, providing flexibility to scale the system as required.
