Revolutionary Modular Diverter, Sorter Modules

An revolutionary high-capacity, multi-directional diverter and a compact 90° diverter and sorter module will take centre stage on Itoh Denki’s stand (no. C017) on the 2023 Semaine de l’Innovation du Transport et de la Logistique (SITL) occasion in Paris from 28-30 March.

The Multi-Angle Ball Sorter (MABS) boasts patented rotating ball switch know-how, which permits merchandise to be diverted to at any angle on each the left and proper. It may well deal with as much as 4,300 items per hour of as much as 30kg in weight and is appropriate for integration into any kind of conveyor system. It’s powered solely by 24V DC know-how, serving to to optimise security in comparison with pneumatically powered methods.

Accessible in a complete of 5 sizes, MABS will be quickly reconfigured to swimsuit the necessities of adjusting set-ups, with as much as eight items in a position to function in tandem the place bigger switch zones are wanted. MABS’ excessive throughput, versatility and compact footprint make it excellent for an unlimited vary of warehousing, e-commerce and intralogistics purposes.

Additionally on present would be the F-RAT NX compact – the one diverter of its kind available on the market which is ready to switch merchandise at a 90° angle on either side of the conveyor line with no need to boost the product between the entry and exit. Not solely does this make for smoother transfers, however conveyor design is simplified too. Once more powered by 24V DC energy, the necessity for pneumatic methods is negated, whereas the F-RAT is available in a spread of sizes.

MABS and F-RAT NX will be mixed with ZPA (zero stress accumulation) conveyors to ship exact positioning of merchandise and easy switch. These attributes make them excellent for any software requiring excessive throughput alongside optimised high quality and security.

Etienne Vuillard of Itoh Denki defined: “The trendy warehouse and distribution facility calls for not simply excessive throughput, however unstinting efficiency in terms of security and total high quality of dealing with. Alongside this, necessities from the sortation line by way of quantity and product kind can change quickly. This implies modular, DC-powered methods, in a position to be quickly reconfigured, are prone to be enticing to specifiers and system designers. Itoh Denki has been a pioneer of modular sorting and diverting know-how for a few years and each the MABS and F-RAT mix the qualities for which we have now develop into famend – pace, versatility, accuracy and security. The SITL occasion will welcome main decision-makers within the sector from throughout France, and past, and we anticipate robust curiosity in each ranges from guests to our stand in search of to maximise productiveness and luxuriate in a speedy return on their funding.”

Itoh Denki is a pioneer and chief in motorised roller-based conveyor and sorting options for automated intralogistics.
