Ultimation Industries releases video on how to build overhead conveyor system

A new video from Roseville, Mich.-based Ultimation Industries LLC shows how to build an overhead conveyor system that takes advantage of generally unused vertical space above the working area.

Overhead conveyors can be used to move products, create buffers, and deliver products in sequence in a production process. The most common type of overhead conveyor uses a chain in either an enclosed track or open below an I-beam, driven by a motor with a gearbox. The products to be moved are suspended from trolleys attached to the chain. Some systems can handle individual loads up to 250 lbs., making them suitable for high-volume production runs or assembly operations.
