Modular Conveyor System for Automated Assembly Lines

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Modular Conveyor System

Definition

The Modular Conveyor System is a configurable material handling component used within automated assembly lines, particularly in the leather and related product manufacturing industry. It is designed to transport components such as soles, uppers, and insoles between different assembly stations, enabling sequential processing, synchronization with robotic arms, and efficient workflow. The system consists of motor-driven belts or rollers that move items along a predefined path. Modules can be added, removed, or reconfigured to adapt to different product sizes or assembly stages. Sensors and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) coordinate movement with other assembly line components. The system is built from materials including aluminum alloy, stainless steel, polyurethane belts, and polymer rollers. Key parameters include a rated load capacity of 50–200 kg/m, belt speed adjustable from 0.1–1.5 m/s, conveyor width from 300–1200 mm in 100 mm increments, and conveyor length configurable in 0.5 m sections from 1–50 m. Positioning accuracy is ±0.5 mm for stop positions with sensors. Motor power ranges from 0.25–4.0 kW, and supply voltage is 380–480 V AC (three-phase, 50/60 Hz) per IEC 60038. Operating temperature is -10 to 40 °C for standard components. Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, with IP65 for washdown environments. Frame material is stainless steel 304–316 per ASTM A240, with 316 for corrosive environments. Belt material is PU–PVC, with PU for food contact and PVC for general use. Noise level is ≤70 dB(A) at 1 m distance under no load per ISO 11201. Weight per meter is 50–150 kg including frame and belt. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The system uses motor-driven belts or rollers to move footwear components along a predefined path. Modules can be added, removed, or reconfigured to adapt to different product sizes or assembly stages. Sensors and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) coordinate movement with other assembly line components. The conveyor speed is adjustable via a variable frequency drive, and positioning accuracy is maintained at stop positions with sensors. The system operates within specified load, speed, and environmental limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum load capacity of the Modular Conveyor System?

The rated load capacity is 50–200 kg per meter of conveyor length. The actual capacity depends on the specific configuration and must be verified with the manufacturer for your application.

Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

Yes, the belt speed is adjustable from 0.1 to 1.5 m/s via a variable frequency drive. The exact speed range and control method should be confirmed with the supplier.

What materials are used in the construction?

The frame is made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel (304 or 316), belts are polyurethane or PVC, and rollers are polymer. Material selection depends on the application and environment.

What is the positioning accuracy?

The positioning accuracy is ±0.5 mm for stop positions with sensors. This ensures precise placement of components for assembly operations.
