Description

The IMB is a twin-rail overhead conveyor built on the Power & Free principle: the bars disengage from the drive chain, which makes it possible to vary the number of bars in line and in storage according to the current workload. This management flexibility sets the installation apart from a simple monorail. The conveyor carries two-dimensional as well as three-dimensional items and accepts a wide variety of carriers. An automatic system manages the stopping, lowering and exchange of bars between the various lines in the workshop. Identification and workflow tracking rely on RFID technology. An inverter sets the chain speed. A safety system monitors the installation continuously and stops it if a fault occurs. Every conveyor is given a bespoke design by Finiture.
