Conveyor & Material Handling Controls
Belt, roller and sortation lines that keep product moving, with controls that find a jam before it becomes a pile-up.
Most conveyor problems are control problems: gaps that are too tight, a merge that starves one lane, a restart that needs three people. We fix the logic and the sensing, and we build new lines the same way.
Work ranges from a single transfer between two machines to accumulation and sortation across a packaging hall or a warehouse.
What we do
- Controls for belt, roller and modular plastic conveyors
- Merge, divert, accumulation and sortation logic
- Photo-eye, encoder and barcode or label scanning integration
- Speed matching and soft starts with variable frequency drives
- Jam detection, safe restart and zone e-stop design
- Integration with scales, labelers, wrappers and palletizers
What you get
- Fewer manual clears per shift
- A line one person can restart
- Throughput numbers you can read from the HMI
Questions about conveyor & material handling controls
Do you supply the conveyor itself?
We specify and source conveyor with fabrication and equipment partners when a project needs it, and we always own the controls, sensing and commissioning.
Can you add a scanner or a divert to an existing line?
Yes. Adding tracking, a scan point or a reject to a running line is common retrofit work and is planned around your downtime.
Our line stops and nobody knows why. Where do you start?
With the stop history. We log every stop with its cause for a few shifts, then fix the top three before touching anything else.
