Roller, double-speed chain, slat and belt conveyors — selected around your part geometry, cycle time and operating conditions, with control systems and vision inspection integrated. From a single conveyor section to a fully interlocked line.
Different part shapes and operating conditions call for different conveying methods. We build all four, so our recommendation is based on fit — not on what we happen to sell.
The workhorse for pallets, totes and cartons — anything with a flat bottom surface. Supports zero-pressure accumulation.
The standard approach for pallet circulation in assembly shops — stations hold parts without stopping the line.
The durable choice for heavy loads and harsh conditions — parts sit directly on the slats.
The most versatile and lowest-cost continuous conveying method, ideal for loose and small parts.
This is the comparison we actually use when specifying a system for a customer.
| Method | Suited to | Accumulation | Environment | Relative cost | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roller | Pallets, totes, flat-bottom fixtures | Strong (zero-pressure friction) | Moderate | Medium | Warehouse transport, assembly mainline, AGV interface stations |
| Double-speed chain | Any part carried on a pallet | Strong (independent station hold) | Moderate | Medium-high | Multi-station assembly, burn-in testing, mixed-model production |
| Slat chain | Heavier parts placed directly on the chain | Moderate | Strong (oil, chips, heat) | High | Machining lines, castings, engine assembly |
| Belt | Loose, small and irregular parts | Limited | Depends on belt material | Low | Sorting, inspection transport, pre-packaging |
※ Final selection also depends on cycle time, floor layout, cleanliness requirements and budget. Send us your site conditions for a specific recommendation.
A conveyor is not just about moving parts from A to B — the real value is in the functional stations along it and how the whole line interlocks.
Lift transfers, turntables and pusher mechanisms for combining lines and reorienting parts.
Pneumatic stops, locating pins and clamping to hold repeatable station accuracy.
Inline inspection stations built into the line, judging in real time and rejecting defects automatically.
Load/unload, palletizing and assembly robots signal-linked to the line for unattended handoff.
Barcode or RFID reading for full-process traceability and MES upload.
Control panel design and build, PLC programming, HMI screens and line-wide interlock safety logic.
Site footage is being added. Contact us for a detailed write-up on any of these applications.
Double-speed chain carries pallets; each station holds independently for assembly, with cycle time allocated by work content.
Belt or roller transport paired with vision inspection stations; defects are rejected and collected by category.
Slat conveyors withstand oil and chips, linking machine tools with robotic load/unload for reduced manning.
Accumulation roller conveyors buffer material and hand off automatically to AGVs or an ASRS.
Conveyors handle station-to-station; AGVs handle area-to-area. Together they make a complete material flow.
Conveyors move parts within a line; AGVs deliver material across areas and floors. Because we build both, interfaces, signals and cycle times are aligned once — you don't coordinate multiple suppliers. See AGV selection, custom carrier retrofitting, PLC/MES interfacing and vision-guided load handling.
