The SmartPace conveyor enhances packaged product orientation by receiving items and properly spacing them on the conveyor. The conveyor uses HMI interface to control the spacing, speed and orientation of products. What this advantage gives to users is the ability to merge multiple lanes together without product stops or gates – the entire process is smooth and seamless.

Here’s how the SmartPace conveyor works:

  • Randomly spaced parts enter the conveyor
  • Photoeye detects product spacing
  • The conveyor’s servo motor control automatically varies the conveyor speed and conveyor junction placement to generate an evenly spaced part
