ACC conveyance system from Therma-Tron-X employs battery-powered, automated carriers

TTX’s ACC is an overhead conveyance system comprising automated carriers that provide reliable, consistent point-to-point movement of small to heavy parts. These individually programmed vehicles are designed for efficiency, safety, ease of maintenance, and flexibility. They are battery-powered and run wirelessly on a simple I-beam without chain.

The system incorporates a wireless Ethernet network that will send instructions to each conveyance system. The carriers are propelled along the I-beam using a spring-loaded traction drive wheel. The I-beam and carrier drive are sized accordingly by weight, and capacities are from 10 to 12,000 lbs.
