"OPEN-SIDE" STAND DESIGN Conveyor Technologies enhances the fast changeover, high up-time capabilities of its family of low-profile conveyors with a unique "open-side" stand design enabling endless belt change in two minutes or less on small to medium-size conveyors. The quick-change configuration, utilizing the high strength and rigidity of the steel conveyor frame and mount, allows cantilever-style mounting to just one side of the stand. This permits legs on the stand's opposite side to stop short of the conveyor frame, eliminating obstructions to slide-off/slide-on belt removal and installation. The conveyor does not have to be dis-assembled from the stand for belt change.

PART MARKING AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM The "Mark and Read" system combines the marking of a two-dimensional Data Matrix code with the reading and verification of that code. Parts can be marked with dot peen or a laser, while the tracking is handled through the use of cameras. The vision system makes it possible to track a marked piece using Data Matrix codes throughout the manufacturing cycle, and when required, throughout the entire product life cycle up to the point the product is scrapped. The information read from the 2D code is transmitted and saved to a database in real-time at each step in the pro duction process. The large amount of information that can be stored in the 2D code creates a portable database that is permanently attached to the part.
