Indexing Conveyors

Indexing, pallet, or slat conveyors are non-accumulating conveyors with slats or pallets fixed to roller chains operated by a gear motor. They are frequently set up for manual loading and robotic unloading processes in assembly lines and machining centers. These conveyors are ideal for robotic unloading/unloading applications because the cycle time is known and controlled.

Indexing conveyors are perfect for use in automated cells as they offer precise load/unload locations to interface with robotic equipment. As experts in the field of conveyor construction, MC3 has the skill and expertise to provide precision indexing conveyors for your business. 

Indexing Conveyor Functions

A production line’s overall functionality can be improved by using indexing conveyors, which have a range of applications. They enable manual and automated assembly by providing exact production location and positioning. 

Powered by a gear motor, the non-accumulating functionality of these conveyors causes the entire system to halt if the leading component cannot exit the conveyor. Indexing conveyors are frequently set up for robotic-to-robotic, robotic-to-manual, and manual-to-automated unloading procedures in manufacturing facilities and assembly lines.

Pallets are moved forward on positioning indexing conveyors, separating or arranging components along the conveyor at predetermined distances. A product, assembly, or component on the conveyor is secured as it moves down the line during processing, thanks to fixtures on the pallet.

An indexing conveyor is made to move items in a sequence of steps instead of a continuous flow to give other equipment on the line time to complete tasks such as machining, welding or assembly. Often, sensors that monitor the flow and automatically control timing and operation are used to detect the indexing position of objects on belts. Indexing conveyors are particularly well suited for a high-speed assembly of tiny components. 

Indexing Conveyors Features

Indexing conveyors have a wide range of features. Automation and machining applications, among others, allow workers to operate from either or both sides of the conveyor. 

The features of positioning conveyors include:

  • Customizable controls
  • Drip pans
  • Finger safeguarding
  • Safety gates
  • Part nest/part locators
  • Mild or stainless steel construction
  • Single or multi-lanes
  • Wear-resistant tracks
