Two typical applications of MDR are transportation and zero pressure accumulation. Therefore, with the “Run only on Demand” feature, the rollers are off when no product is detected which results in saving energy. When used to control zones they provide zero pressure accumulation (ZPA) conveying.
Motorized roller conveyor systems and overhead conveyors are often used together with warehouse robots or Autonomous Mobile Robots. Warehouse robots can pick up and drop off loads from your existing conveyors and provide a flexible way to link all your conveyor styles together for maximum productivity and space utilization.
