Conveyor 22 has developed an easy and cost-effective solution for moving the complete conveyor unit among manufacturing machines. It has been successfully delivered to Lindab Profile AB in Förslöv.

Stamping presses are commonly equipped with one or more conveyors for getting the surplus and finished part out. A permanently installed conveyor in a fixed position can be complicate and difficult to reposition, wasting valuable time and resources. For example, rebuilding the whole conveyor system when changing tools or not using the conveyor while the machine is out of production. The accumulated cost of handling such a fixed conveyor system is high.

As an additional method of mounting the conveyor on a manufacturing machine, the Steady Stand is an alternative attachment to fasten the conveyor with feeding trays and other extra features. Thus, the usage of output device becomes infinitely flexible and efficient.

Several satisfied customers are already using Steady Stand in their production lines. On this occasion, we designed a low-profile model “Steady Stand 500” and equipped it to fit beneath Lindab Profile’s stamping press: Conveyor Black Line 141, Steady Stand 500 with 3-wheel adapter ensuring stability on uneven surfaces and tray support with sliding parts. The control box is mounted directly on the Steady Stand and the cable between conveyor and control box is stored within the stand. Steady Stand 500 is concrete-filled, weighing 150 kg and has lockable wheels.

We want the stamping press industry to maximize the use of our conveyors and make their production faster, more efficient and profitable.

Exhibiting in Elmia Subcontractor for third time, Conveyor 22 had a fantastic week with our business partners ABB, IVISYS and El-yta as well as many visitors.

In our stand, we presented the linear conveyors Black & Clean Line, new vertical conveyor Up Line and YuMi robot cell from the corporation project between Conveyor 22 and ABB. Visitors were able to understand the integration of linear and vertical conveyors working as a whole conveying system through YuMi’s assembling. Moreover, we also designed two applications in order to demonstrate individual functions; coin circulation for Black & Clean Line and bead circulation for Up Line. Many visitors stopped at our stand and started interesting discussions with us.

Vision company IVISYS brought our coin circulation into their stand to corporate the new vision system. Many visitors were interested in this combination of linear conveyors and mobile vision. Our supplier El-yta, a surface treatment company, also presented our Black Line in their stand as one of their processed products. We are pleased that Conveyor 22 satisfied its business partners and created potential business opportunities for them.

Conveyor 22 has reached many goals in Elmia Subcontractor 2016 where we presented our new product portfolio to the market, received many new national and international business contacts and developed deeper relations with our business partners. We would like to specially thank ABB, IVISYS and El-yta for your cooperation with Conveyor 22, as well as new and old customers for your continuous interest in our electric technology.

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.

In the Scanautomatic fair 2016, ABB and Conveyor 22 together present an easy and cost-effective solution for collaborative robotic application.

Conveyor 22 designed this robot cell for ABB, intended to present an application possibility for their industrial robot YuMi to mount mechanical components. We display a visualized platform that imitates a complete assembly line around YuMi and shows its capability to perform a quality job. In the robot cell YuMi interacts with our linear conveyors in a compact and flexible way of transporting, separating, organizing, storing, picking, assembling and sorting.

YuMi assembles two components. Left feeding tray organizes the screws and ends with sensor and storing slit, which enables YuMi’s left hand to pick from a fixed position. Right feeding tray is designed to turn and separate the nuts, which allows YuMi’s right hand to identify them through the gripper’s vision camera before picking. Assembled details and extra unpicked parts are left into the middle feeding tray, which is made of different layers and tracks in order to recycle all details. The conveying system circulate all components by using different feeding trays, three horizontal conveyors Black Line 141 and two vertical conveyors Up Line jointly controlled by the robot’s control system.

We are glad that this robot cell has received great attention from the visitors and it will also be exhibited in Annual Suppliers’ Forum SLD2016, together with ABB. Scanautomatic 2016 gave us many new business contacts, both national and international. We would like to specially thank ABB for their pioneering leadership through cooperating with Conveyor 22, as well as new and old customers for your continuous interest in our conveyors.

Greetings: Anne-Maj, Lars and Muzi, Conveyor 22

In the Elima Automation fair, Concept AB is presenting the new visionfeeder with two Black Line 141 transporters built into the system. The new versionfeeder combines several different conveyors, two vision cameras and a small robot, and is intented to serve a large robot cell. This system is develped as a standard module in Concept portfoilo.

Our electric linear conveyor provides solution for this system, as it can transport the materials in same speed regardless of weight differences without frequency adjustment. This feature provides a unique possibility for robotic automation applications.

ElimIa Automation in Jönköping is the leading fair on industrial automation for the Swedish manufacturing industries. Conveyor 22 with its team has visited this fantastic fair and gained great experience.

In the fair, our electric linear conveyors have been presented among three different stands with our clients. Concept AB demonstrated its new vision feeder with our two Black Line 141 transporters built into the system. AH Automation and Aluflex also showed our conveyors to their visitors. We are happy to see that the exclusive features from our electric linear conveyors brought us potential opportunities to cooperate with the automation industry.

The fair gave us many new business contacts, both national and international. We would like to specially thank Concept AB, AH Automation and Aluflex for their trusts on our technology. We also thank customers, old and new, for your continuing interest in our conveyors.

After extensive testing and in response to customer feedback, Conveyor 22 electric linear conveyors can transport different items at the same speed regardless of the weights and volume plus static electricity generation has been significantly reduced. Make our linear conveyors the perfect replacement for old vibrators.

The unique movement of the Conveyor 22 transporters distributes and spreads the material while transporting it. The linear movement is more gentle and smooth than traditional vibrators. The transport speed is always constant and completely independent of weight difference. There is no need for frequency adjustments based on various weights.

The electric linear conveyors from Conveyor 22 transport items with only a horizontal movement instead of slightly throwing the items vertically as vibrators do. The unique motion from electric linear conveyors has effectively reduced static electricity generation due to faster separation and less friction. Traditional vibrators provide much more unstable movement due to fast vibrations. The motion results in more frequent and stronger friction among the transporting items due to the horizontal and vertical vibrations and easily generates a build up of static electricity.

Conveyor 22 now launch Conveyor Lift 230/1100 based on the previous model Conveyor Lift 110/278. The lifts are designed to facilitate the industries with special need for frequent changing on manufacturing equipments.

Adjustable lift in height (Z) with a stroke level of 230 mm. The lift can easily be mounted on the stamping press or manufacturing equipment. The Conveyor Lift 230/1100 is able to handle either Quick Bar 2000 mm or aluminium bar up to 2500 mm. After implementation of the conveyor lift, the conveyor bolted to the lift can be cranked down below the stamping press table’s surface. Thus there are no more manually repeat installations of the transporters when replacing manufacturing equipment.

Tool change is simplified – setup time is shortened!
