A logistics automatic conveyor system is a key part of automated equipment used in warehouses and factories. It moves goods by itself, making the process faster, safer, and cheaper than using manual labor. The system has different parts that work together. The main part is the conveyor system itself, which uses belts, rollers, or chains to carry items from one spot to another. It works with other machines like stackers and robots, all controlled by a central computer system. In short, the conveyor system is the simple, reliable foundation of the whole operation. It keeps goods moving smoothly, cuts down on costs and risks, and allows for fast, efficient logistics.
A conveyor system is the core transmission unit in automated logistics, integrating multiple functional machines into a continuous operation system. It primarily consists of:
1. Continuous Conveyance Equipment: Including roller conveyors, belt conveyors, and chain conveyors, forming the main transportation network.
2. Sorting & Diverting Equipment: Centered around sorters (e.g., swing-arm, swivel wheel, cross-belt, narrow-belt, sliding shoe), which use barcode/weight/size recognition to automate classification and routing, serving as the key component for intelligent dispatch. 3. Spatial Transfer & Shuttling Equipment: Such as elevators/lifts (for vertical movement between floors) and RGVs, AGVs , expanding the system’s three-dimensional operational space. Integrated via unified material handling interfaces, communication protocols, and control software, these subsystems work together to achieve fully automated receiving, conveying, sorting, and transferring, forming a flexible, efficient, and scalable modern logistics solution.
Conveyor Rollers are the core components of conveyors, functioning as the "joints and wheels" of the system. Their primary roles are to support, transmit power, and guide materials or conveyor belts. They are mainly categorized into two types based on their power source: 1. Motor Drive Rollers (MDRs) These are highly integrated power units with built-in motors and gearboxes. Compact design, simple installation, easy maintenance, and excellent sealing. Ideal for automated lines and sorting systems where space and cleanliness are priorities. 2. Free Rollers (Non-powered) These rollers have no internal motor and require external force to rotate. Gravity/Manual: Movement relies on the weight of items or manual pushing on inclined or horizontal sections. External Power: Driven by an external gear motor or a motor drive roller via belts, chains, or friction bands, synchronizing all idler rollers on the line.
