Zone Buffering

Zone Buffering is a transport system that provides contact free accumulation of product along conveyor lines. It features "intelligent zones"-each with its own sensor and motor controller-that effectively buffer products from one another. Products advance to the next zone only if that zone is unoccupied, protecting them from impacts with metering stops or backed-up product.

Additional features include forward/reverse operation, optically isolated PNP or NPN inputs and outputs, optional Intellizone PLC connector, choice of zone lengths and easy setup. All controls and zone connections are builtin-just supply 24 VDC.

Quickdraw conveyors feature self contained sensors, logic and motor controls integrated directly into the compact conveyor rail, while Zone Buffering technology delivers plug and go operation without a PLC. Patented slip driven rollers, clean roller design, and sealed bearings maintain Cleanroom requirements.
