Integration can be done without specialized engineering or customization when using Ultimation HD CDLR conveyors

Ultimation Industries' new controls package for Chain-Driven Live Roller (CDLR) conveyors helps manufacturers, distribution centers and others move heavy materials such as pallets, racks or industrial containers without the need for customization. Controls packages manage the speed, direction and buffering of items on a conveyor to optimize productivity.

"In the past, integrating controls into heavy-duty conveyor systems required specialized engineering expertise," said Kali Wahrman, general manager for Ultimation. "We've developed our new controls package to work seamlessly with our CDLRs without the need for customization. It is also available online for quick delivery."

"Ultimation's new controls package works seamlessly with the company's Chain-Driven Live Roller conveyors without the need for customization."

Ultimation is an MCE company that solves productivity challenges with special purpose machinery and industrial automation equipment systems as well as direct-to-consumer solutions for a broad range of end-markets, including energy, automotive, logistics and vertical farming.

Ultimation's new CDLR controls package offers both 120V and 480V AC input power options. It includes a gear motor controlled by a Lenze Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for speed adjustment and frequency inversion. The E-STOP is hardwired to the safe torque off (STO) component on the VFD for immediate emergency shutdown.

Here's how the new CDLR controls package works:

Dual photoeyes detect parts entering the system, and check for any parts positioned at the end of the conveyor.
If there are no parts detected at the end of the conveyor when a part enters the system, it will advance the part to the end of the conveyor.
If there are additional conveyor segments connected downstream, the controls check for parts in the following position.
The parts will follow the same process for any remaining conveyor segments, until reaching the final conveyor zone.
The system will wait for the push button or additional photoeye signal to advance parts from the final conveyor zone.
The controls package can be added as an option to an Ultimation CDLR conveyor system or purchased separately.
