Interroll has released its new plug-and-play conveyor platform for automated production environments.
With the new Light Conveyor Platform (LCP), Interroll says it is expanding its range of products with a platformbased material-flow solution that significantly increases the productivity of manufacturing processes.
Designed as a plug-and-play modular system, the LCP allows all system integrators to implement scalable belt conveyor sections very easily in order to quickly meet customer-specific automation requirements for material flow.
Efficient material feed and discharge play a crucial role in realizing the productivity potential of manufacturing cells, assembly and packaging stations. At the same time, rapidly changing process environments in many other industries require flexible conveyor solutions that can easily adapt to new requirements.
This is what the Interroll’s new material flow solution for system integrators and plant engineers achieves: Corresponding LCP-based belt conveyors can be easily assembled from factorypreassembled and predefined modules without any engineering effort, and can be put into operation quickly and safely via an autonomous machine control system, optionally without an additional programmable logic controller (PLC). Depending on customer requirements and application, however, connection to an external PLC with user-specific programming is also possible.
Interroll’s LCP is designed to transport smaller conveyed goods, as well as boxes or polybags weighing up to 50 kilograms. The conveyors, which can also handle inclines or declines, are driven by compact and energyefficient drum motors that have an efficiency of over 85 percent, keeping energy consumption and energy costs very low.
The fully modular system can be planned and assembled very easily and conveniently on the PC monitor using Interroll’s popular Layouter tool.
