May 01, 2015

Dorner Mfg. continues its push into the assembly automation market with the debut of its new 2200 Series Precision Move Pallet System conveyor.

Dorner's 2200 Precision Move Pallet Systems are the latest advancement in pallet traffic management. With a unique pin tracking system to guide pallets through 90 turns, and a fast belt change capability without the need to remove the conveyor from the system, Dorner's 2200 Precision Move Pallet Systems are designed to increase efficiency and reduce downtime in various assembly automation processes. Coupled with fast delivery of less than 20 days, this conveyor platform is perfect for the assembly automation, manufacturing and packaging industries.

Ideal applications include:

• Automated Assembly

• Manual Assembly

• Product Testing and Inspection

The pallets on this conveyor range from 160mm to 480mm, giving the customer the flexibility to select the proper size to move the product. During operation, pallets move on twin dual strand timing-belt conveyors. This design provides many benefits to end users, including:

• Added load capacity in a small platform; up to 250 lbs accumulated Quick belt change without the need to remove conveyor from system

• Widths: 160, 240, 320, 400 and 480mm

• Lengths: up to 24' 7" (7,500mm)

• 20 days or less delivery time

• Clean Room Class 100 Certification on the conveyor

These engineering designs position the 2200 Series Precision Move Pallet conveyor as the go-to platform for applications in machine integration, robotic pick-n-place, precision indexing, accurate part positioning, timed conveying, and inspection. Performance specifications of the 2200 Series Precision Move Pallet conveyor include:
