ARB Virtual Pocket
High Speed Merging Conveyor
Virtual Pocket Conveyors facilitate high-speed merges by assigning a designated “virtual pocket” to each infeed lane that feeds into the takeaway conveyor. This virtual pocket’s position is precisely established using an encoder, allowing the system to accurately track the availability of each pocket and efficiently manage incoming products for seamless and timely merges.
Key Features:
Greatly reduced need for electrical field devices to monitor merge locations and upstream/downstream availability. Few moving parts. Low maintenance. Conveyors can be designed to merge product from 2 lanes to 20 lanes.
- High takeaway rates
- Minimal electrical field devices = less field wiring and shorter installation times
- Very reliable even with mixed product sizes
