--Do you experience side-by-sides, jams, or reduced throughput on your existing accumulation conveyor when conveying lightweight products?

--Do you wish you could eliminate the need for troublesome mechanical sensor technology?

If lightweight products cannot push the mechanical roller sensors down as they are conveyed, products will not be detected, causing boxes to jam or create a side-by-side situation–resulting product damage. Mechanical sensors also require frequent replacement and adjustment, creating loss productivity on the conveyor line.

Upgrading your existing accumulation conveyor eliminates side-by-sides due to product hang-ups on mechanical sensors and reduces product damage from jams.

ZoneControl from SICK replaces existing problematic mechanical roller sensors with a photoelectric sensor. The upgrade can easily be installed on your existing conveyor with little or no interruption to your daily operation.

• Reliable detection - minimum forward pressuremeans reduced product jams and damage
• Electronic sensor rollers have a longer life - lower replacement costs
• No adjustment required - lower maintenance costs
• Simple, low cost solution - vs. replacing the conveyor
• More functionality - increased throughput and space utilization

Multiple mounting solutions mean more application flexibility. And, SICK has a the accessories and peripherals to accommodate nearly any conveyor configuration.
