Conveyor 22 presents an invention “Back-Track Tray” – to solve a common issue of returning details within automation applications.

The entire system consists of two conveyors, Up Line and Black Line 141 with two feeding trays, one delivering tray and one returning tray. The unique motion created by linear conveyor Black Line, together with the force of gravity, enables Back-Track Tray to transport the details backwards.

Firstly Delivery Tray moves the details forwards for the purposes of viewing, picking or placing in a fixed position. Then unpicked or defective parts are gently returned by Back-Track Tray to the magazine. Lastly Up Line returns the details to complete circulation.

Conveyor 22 now launches a new linear conveyor for vertical transportation, electric driven and double action step feeder, Up Line. Double action describes the operating principle that every step moves up and down alternately, resulting in high capacity.

Up Line orients and raises components over short to medium heights easily and gently, which minimizes wear and tear on the material being handled. Output height setting is 190 mm adjustable with a crank. Magazine is customized depending on the sizes of transported details and low filling height is user-friendly. This flexible step feeder is a good option, the noise level is low and the size is compact. Up Line, with its built-in inductive sensor, is perfect for automatic feeding and presentation of parts for any assembly, inspection or secondary application.

With the combination of Up Line and Black & Clean Line, Conveyor 22 is ready to deliver a more complete conveying system and fulfill more customers needs.
