Electrified
Monorail Systems (a.k.a. Automated Electrified Monorail)
contain individually motorized carriers that draw energy
from a track mounted unit.
Typical
applications include production areas or delivery systems
that require accumulation. This type of system allows
for a wide range of conveyor speeds varying from 8 to
400 fpm, allowing the carrier to accelerate, decelerate,
creep into an exact position for automated workstations,
reverse travel, travel on defined production centers,
travel at very high speeds, accumulate, etc.
In
addition, the Electrified Monorail System can have an
on board computer ensuring decision making for alternate
routings without relying on the preferred centralized
conveyor system.
