Therma-Tron-X’s Automated Conveyor Carrier (ACC) material handling systems incorporate a wireless network to send instructions to individual carriers throughout a paint line. Carriers are hung on an overhead I-Beam rail and propelled using an adjustable friction drive wheel. The company says the systems are equipped with automatic charging stations located along the path and units can be swapped out with spares for easy maintenance. It is said the ACC systems are much cleaner and quieter than traditional conveyors, and can be programmed to perform various tasks at various locations.
