SmartMove Conveyors Introduces High Performance Digital Brushless DC Drive

An innovative conveyor system that features an all new digital brushless DC drive which displays motor speed, conveyor speed and load factors is being introduced by SmartMove Conveyors of Fall River, Massachusetts.

SmartMove's patented direct drive incorporates Oriental Motor's new BLF series into one platform that allows operators to digitally set their operating speeds. Programmable up to 8 pre-set speeds that can be set by external controls, the standard conveyor will operate from 2.5 fpm with settings up to 125 fpm at the push of a button. PLC can be connected to provide starting, stopping, speed, acceleration, and deceleration controls

"We have been using Oriental drives for over 10 years and they have always proven to be very reliable and energy efficient," says VP Gregory Ferguson of SmartMove Conveyors. "Now we can offer our customers exciting new enhancements that will include a wider speed range and the ability to connect to programmable controllers."

Benefits of the system include: simple setup for lower cost; multiple speed setting capabilities; minimal maintenance; versatile mounting - the unit can be mounted on either side of the conveyor, and "penny pinching" power consumption of only 60 watts at 115Volts.

Suitable for applications that include assembly, packaging, inspection, sorting and testing. SmartMove conveyors are offered in a variety of sizes with belting from 6" to 30" wide (by 3" increments), lengths from 2'to 60', and multi-level configurations, that are easy to order and safe to operate.

Priced according to belt width and overall length. Units are shipped fully assembled. Literature and pricing are available upon request or by visiting our website at www.4smartmove.com. For immediate assistance contact us directly at (800) 581-2876.
