Skid
Conveyors generally carry products on fixtures with
two longitudinal runners called skids. Skids are conveyed
both longitudinally (direction of travel parallel to
skid rails) and transversely (direction of travel perpendicular
to skid rails). The types of conveyor sections utilized
include Vertical/Drop Lifts, Two-Strand, Accumulating
Roller Flight, Cross Transfer, Powered Roller Lift Tables,
Hold Tables, Powered Roller Bed, Powered Roller Stand,
Turntables, Pivot tables, Shuttle Carriage, Scissors
Lift and Skid Stacker/Destacker.
Two-strand
chain is utilized in production areas such as spray
operations and in paint and oven applications.
Belt
style two strands are used in production areas, such
as general assembly operations, pre-paint processing,
etc.
Roller
flight conveyors are available in either chain or belt
technology and provide accumulation capability by the
design of its raised roller. Cross transfers move the
skid sideways lining it up with other conveyors.
Powered
roller lift tables lift the skid off of the cross transfer
and move the skid to the adjoining conveyors.
