Product Positioning
Product Positioning when stopping is often a necessity for processes such as inspection, assembly or feeding into equipment. This can be achieved in different ways depending upon the accuracy required. |

Servo drives can be mounted to the conveyor using standard or modified hardware.
- Accurately stops the conveyor to provide precise part location.
- Provides controlled acceleration and deceleration.
- Great for very accurate assembly operations.

A large timing belt can be used as the actual conveyor belt
in conjunction with a toothed conveyor pulley.
- Provides excellent belt movement control.
- Used for accurate part or fixture positioning.
- Can be used with a variety of drives, including servo drives for very accurate indexing and positioning.

Encoders can be mounted to the drive shaft of the conveyor.
- Senses shaft rotation or counts pulley revolutions.
- Can sense excessive drag on the conveyor belt.
- Counts revolutions for accurate control of the belt in feeding or indexing applications.
