Keymas has conveying under control June 1st 2005 Cummins Engine Co recently awarded Keymas Control & Automation the contract to design and supply a closed loop powered conveying system to transport and control the flow of special containers carrying piston and con-rod assemblies between various workstations.
The new system replaced a straight line conveyor, predominantly gravity feed, and a more labour intensive operation. The powered conveyor circuit now makes light work of moving products throughout the various stages of assembly. Pistons are selected from a Kardex carousel, assembled to the con-rod and loaded to special containers and conveyed on lineshaft driven powered rollers to a series of manually operated pneumatically controlled blade stops.
