金宝搏信赖网Custom Industrial Conveyors
Givens Automation and Machine has provided a wide range of industrial conveyor solutions from gravity roller conveyors for small parts, to larger automated over-under conveyors for large automotive racks.Whatever your needs are, we can create a unique solution that integrates into your layout and process.
Over-Under Conveyors
Over-Under conveyors make use of an overhead return lane for dunnage to conserve floor space in a factory or industrial production facility.A large scissor lift moves the empty dunnage from the feed lane up to the return lane on top.
We can provide large heavy-duty over-under conveyor systems that can withstand a busy production environment for a long life cycle.
Line Side Production Conveyors
Line side conveyors help deliver sequence materials from a warehouse to the production line.Our range of conveyor systems can be tailored for simple or complex production processes, depending on your production planning needs such as a simple roller rack for boxes, to automated part feeders.
Automated Material Feeders
Automatedmaterial feederscan be a major improvement for correct part picking, part inspection, or general job flow efficiency in a production facility.Some examples of process improvements that we can integrate using industrial material feeders are:
- Vision inspection for parts
- Feeding out one of several part variants, depending on the job in station
- Conveyors on carts: carts are swapped out instead of refilling at the line
- Return dunnage for empty boxes or pucks
- Pick lights and touch to pick lights
- Light curtains to signal correct part picking
Warehouse Conveyor Systems
Warehouse conveyors are typically used to move large volumes of products in bulk packaging.They help to sort and sequence parts and to keep production parts moving to the front of the floor space to make the most out of the room available in a production facility.
In most cases, warehouse conveyors rely on gravity rollers since they are low maintenance, take less floor space, and allows for quick movement.
Project Highlights
Feed Conveyor for Robot Arm
For this custom conveyor system, the customer needed to be able to feed a robot EOAT with parts, one at a time, while maintaining a safe distance from the robot arm.To solve this problem, we created a short section of conveyor with a tunnel over-top to keep the operators' arms away from the robot and out of the robot cell.
The parts needed to be spaced out from each other to be picked by the robot, so we created a pneumatic teeter totter to only allow one part forward at a time.A pneumatic elevator then lifted the part up to present it to the robot for an easy and fast pickup.
Like most of our other projects, this one was designed, built, and installed by our own employees.No third parties.
Fuel Tank Over Under System
This system was designed to unload automotive fuel tanks quickly and efficiently from dunnage racks and send them away to the assembly line.A forklift would bring in the full dunnage rack and place it on the lower section of conveyor rail and drive away with a freshly emptied one from the top conveyor.When the operator was ready to receive that dunnage, it would automatically roll forward onto the lowered scissor lift.The operator would then pick the tanks out of the dunnage and place them on another process conveyor.Once the dunnage was empty, the scissor lift would raise and power the dunnage off onto the top rack, where it would get picked up by another forklift and taken away.
We have made several of these systems for various customers over the years.One example had five over under systems in a row, all unloading incoming engines for the entire auto assembly plant.That one featured one of our automated cranes that would automatically drive to the next engine pick point, removing work for the operator and shortening cycle time.
