workstations, flow racks, carts and AGVs has introduced a new low-profile version of its

wide Placon gravity rollers and conveyor mounts.

The Low-Profile Placon rollers, of which there are two types, are 80% of the

height of the standard wide Placon conveyor. Its rail base is 32 mm to the top of the roller

compared to 40 mm for its standard variety. The new series helps minimize the vertical

space needed for conveyors and can allow the user to fit more lanes in a given height or

to squeeze rollers into a tight space.

The standard new system incorporates 18 mm dia. rollers with a 19 mm dia.

center to center, and can be configured up to 3 meters long. Other roller spacing is

available upon request.

Placon precision rollers spin freely, quietly and provide stability, extra support

and smooth flow for handling totes with non-smooth or soft bottoms and open cell

designs as well as unpackaged parts. Two versions are available, black plastic rollers

(PWL2 series) or stainless covered rollers (KWL2 series). The rollers are suitable for

both standard and ESD applications. The stainless rollers provide enhanced durability

when flowing sharp metal or otherwise abrasive parts or containers.

The mounts for 28 mm pipe and joint are plated steel with two types; a basic

mount (EF-2092C) and mount with built-in drop stop (EF-2092DW). Custom mounts are

available.

Applications for the rollers and mounts include factory and warehouse, as well as
