Plug-and-play

A conveyor system based on modules with integral mechanical and electrical connectivity that can be put into operation by end-users is available from European Conveyor Systems. Developed by Gebhardt Fördertechnik, System 600 is designed to provide flexibility in warehouses that need to respond to changing demands without installing a permanent dedicated conveyor system for every requirement.

The standard system uses energyefficient 24V drive motors and can carry containers of various types weighing up to 50kg. A 400V version is also available. No air supply is needed. Both types incorporate integral powered rollers, transfer function, RFID sensors, mechanical and electrical connections, and PLCbased controllers.
