As automation becomes more prevalent in manufacturing, the role of automated conveying systems is becoming more important. Conveying systems represent one way to make manufacturing more efficient, and they’re one of the most widely used means of factory automation, making production faster and more competitive for manufacturers. Manufacturers looking for a controlled-flow accumulation conveyor should look no further than our ZonAcc Non-Pressure Accumulation Conveying System. Unique to UMD Automated Systems, it’s a patented multi-use conveyor system that offers capabilities you won’t find in other conveying systems. We think you’ll appreciate these features, so we’ve highlighted some of them below and within this video:
Unlike traditional conveyors commonly used in manufacturing, ZonAcc positive drive conveyors provide efficient, non-contact or zero-pressure accumulation. It’s a stand-alone conveying system and does not require any additional components. More specifically, what this means for manufacturers is that there’s less set-up time and there are less expenses.
In addition to saving manufacturers time and money, the ZonAcc conveying system will also save you from any headaches caused by line pressure issues. Through our technology, we’re able to achieve positive conveyance and still accumulate, while eliminating line pressure issues.
Another bonus: Without line pressure, you also eliminate product waste, increasing the savings manufacturers discover with the ZonAcc conveying system. When you eliminate the line pressure of traditional accumulation systems, you can eliminate conveyor-related scrap and disfigured products.
Overall, the ZonAcc system is considered a low-cost conveyor, because the accumulation system controls are internal. Plus, the conveying system is also known for its versatility. It can be used to release one product at a time, or it can release many products at once. And the ZonAcc conveying system is capable of handling larger and much heavier objects (i.e., pallets) than traditional conveyors.
Additionally, the ZonAcc system is modular in nature, making areas that need repair easy to reach, if and when they’re required.
We like to say our ZonAcc Non-Pressure Accumulation Conveying System is an ideal “gentle-yet-robust” choice for manufacturers. Its features are unique to the industry, offering capabilities that no other conveying system can fully achieve.
