What is an asynchronous pallet conveyor?
A conveyor on which each workpiece pallet moves independently. Pallets can stop, wait, queue, be released and be routed without holding up the rest of the line.
What is the difference between STEIN 300 and STEIN 400?
STEIN 300 handles pallets from 6.2 inches and workpieces up to 55 lb. STEIN 400 handles pallets from 9.4 inches and heavy workpieces up to 176 lb (80 kg).
Is there an all-electric version?
Yes. STEIN 300e uses electrically driven stoppers, transfers and centering units instead of pneumatics.
Can a STEIN line be extended later?
Yes. STEIN builds lines in standard modular sections, so they can be extended or reconfigured instead of replaced.
Do I need a PLC programmer to run a STEIN line?
STEIN CONTROL is designed to run the line without special PLC programming skills, and it routes pallets using RFID.
When should I use a link conveyor instead?
When every station cycles in about the same time, the line is fixed and positional accuracy at the station is critical. EAC also represents Camco precision link conveyors.
