Transfer Vehicles and Shuttle Cars
Transfer cars provide an economical means of moving pallet loads long distances, and merging several pallet conveyor lines into one line. Transfer cars are frequently used to distribute empty pallets in a large multi-line palletizing system, as well as combine the full pallet discharges of the palletizing system into a common stretch wrapper.
Bastian Robotics is an industry leader in providing high speed, high precision transfer cars.
How Transfer Vehicles and Shuttle Cars Work
Transfer cars can be powered in several ways: timing belt drives, friction wheels, and most commonly, gear and rack drives. Positioning is generally performed by using an encoded motor on the drive. Laser positioning is an option as well. Depending on the length and speed of the transfer car, power is distributed to the shuttle by either a cable track or by an overhead power rail.
