A traffic clamp can be opened and closed while the product is in motion. The product clamp can also be closed prior to the product’s arrival to that point of the conveyor when a predetermined stoppage in the line is necessary.
The auto pneumatically adjustable guide rails move rapidly in tandem. This guide rail system is commonly referred to in the industry as “RCO Rail” for Rapid Change Over Rail. It is most commonly utilized in overhead conveyor systems where operators cannot access the conveyors to make rail-opening changes. However, RCOs are also utilized on floor-level conveyors where rapid conveyor changeovers are needed to accommodate different product widths, but there is no time for operators walk to through a conveyor system changing each individual guide-rail bracket. The pneumatics and clamps can be placed at intervals as required by the customer.
