Original Press Release:
FKI Logistex adds New Features to 24-Volt Accuzone® Motorized Roller Accumulation and Transportation Conveyor
Industry-leading design now offers completely modular wiring, improved aesthetics, and integrated belt technology
(Cincinnati, OH) FKI Logistex® (www.fkilogistex.com), a global leader in integrated material handling solutions, announces the incorporation of several design updates to its industry-leading Accuzone® 24-volt motorized roller accumulation and transportation conveyor. The fully modular, plug-and-play Accuzone offers true zero-pressure, zero-contact accumulation, and is available in straight, curve, merge, divert, belted, and right-angle transfer modules.
Changes to the Accuzone design include the standard control system, now a standalone and programmable DeviceNet networked controller. The DeviceNet(TM) control system enables completely modular wiring and eliminates more than 20 electrical connections per 10-foot Accuzone section, allowing faster and easier assembly, troubleshooting, and interfacing with other equipment. The preexisting low-cost zone control wiring option will continue to be available for straight and curve modules.
Additional changes to Accuzone include the optimization of merge and divert module sizes for easier handling and configuration, and the addition of a cost-effective, aesthetically designed plastic side frame cover to encase wiring and controls.
FKI Logistex also now offers Accuzone in a variety of belted configurations. These new modules enable improved package handling, particularly on inclines and declines, and provide seamless integration with roller conveyor.
Accuzone's existing benefits remain, including its modular, 24-volt-based design which reduces installation time and requires no high-voltage motor wiring or compressed air. The Accuzone system is also fully self-manageable and runs only when product is being conveyed, a feature that produces energy savings as high as 50 percent compared to traditional conveyor systems.
