Based on modules

The X85 pallet system is a complete system for handling of individual products on product carriers (pallets). An automated system is built on configurable standard mod­ules.

Standard modules makes it very easy and fast to cre­ate simple as well as advanced layouts for routing, bal­ancing, buffering and positioning of pallets. RFID identification in the pallets enables one piece track and trace and logistic control for the production line.

A standard line cabinet with power bus and communi­cation bus systems provides fast installation and high flexibility for future changes.

Divert/merge devices

Divert/merge devices are used for routing products by dividing or combining flows of products. Usually there is a main conveyor, a "highway", and separate subordinated conveyors, "satellites".

On the satellites, products can be subjected to vari­ous operations such as turning, grinding, assembly or testing, without disturbing the main flow. After the opera­tions, the products can return to the highway.

A combination of a highway and one or more satellites is often called a cell. Using divert/merge modules, it is pos­sible to build cell junctions which facilitate transfer of a pallet from one cell to another. See figure.
