Conveyors
Making things move

Leading-edge technologies in high-speed sortation, conveyor systems, carousels, palletizing, paperless pick products, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), cross-docking, baggage handling and security, controls, order processing software, RFID implementation, warehouse control systems (WCS), and total materials handling automation.

Accuzone®

The FKI Logistex Accuzone 24-volt powered roller conveyor provides zero pressure, zero contact accumulation and is one of the quietest conveyor systems available today. Its modular, “plug-n-convey” design uses brushless drive roller technology and allows for maximum layout flexibility as well as easy, low-cost start-up and maintenance.

This flexible design provides:

• Quiet operation of less than 72 dBA
• True zero contact, zero pressure accumulation
• Inherently safe by design
• No motor starters or high voltage cabinets to install
• No compressed air requirements
• As much as 50% energy savings compared to traditional conveyor systems

The heart of the Accuzone’s operation is in its electrical wiring and controls design. Accuzone is offered with two different methods of electrical control, which include simple low cost zone control for accumulation and singluation, as well as a fully programmable and interface-friendly DeviceNet controller. Accuzone’s wiring design also allows for easy integration into existing systems and future system expansion.

Accuzone is available in the following module configurations:

• Straight modules
• Straight belted modules (incline/decline and flat)
• Curve modules
• Merge modules
• Divert modules
• Right angle transfer modules

These modules may be configured as a complete system, or may be interfaced with traditional conveyor equipment.

Accuglide®

The FKI Logistex Accuglide powered roller conveyor provides quiet, positive transportation and zero-pressure accumulation of cartons, totes, etc. in accumulation lines that may include both straight and curve sections. Accuglide is available with operational modes that allow for maximum output at the lowest possible speed, and integrates 24-volt photo-eye sensors with zone control modules to optimize product detection and flow.

The integration of 24-volt photo-eye sensors and zone control modules into Accuglide’s design provides the following benefits:

• Easy zone control/power connections
• Quick and easy conveyor release mode configuration
• Sections delivered ready to install and run (sensors/control modules)
• Micro connector power/communication connections
• Safe low-voltage power supply requirements
• Photo-eyes factory installed and aligned
• Release rates available up to 95%
• Acceptance rates up to 100%
• Quiet non-contacting sensors
• No product minimum weight limitation
• Product minimum height 1" (25 mm)

Simple, efficient roller chain (RC50 w/extended pins) and urethane driver pad are pneumatically raised to engage and power the carrier rollers. They are lowered to disengage power from the rollers when sensors detect the presence of product within the next downstream zone.

Options include:

• Carrier rollers with ABEC precision bearings
• 2" (50 mm) & 3" (75 mm) carrier roller centers
• Brake-modules
• Standard, light-load and photo-eye sensors
• Power units providing speeds up to 240 fpm (1.2 m/sec)

All sections are fully-assembled and are easily joined in the field to provide economical installation and startup.
