Multi-Conveyor (https://www.multi-conveyor.com) recently built this metered servo merge conveyor as part of a larger system to transport packaged food. The metering conveyor feeds a series of servo belt conveyors to gap two lanes of product into a single lane flow using DARB technology.
A series of photo-sensors were strategically placed to sense product for the precise gapping needed to create a seamless high-speed merge without collision. We’ve slowed the video down slightly so you can witness the demo product pause (or gap) as needed before continuing to the single file merge.
