Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a global expert in intelligent motion solutions, will showcase its latest conveyance and material handling technologies at PACK EXPO 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. Visit Booth N-2531 to experience live, integrated demonstrations from CMCO’s brands: Dorner, Garvey, montrac, and Duff-Norton.
Dorner is a global specialist in conveyor system design, manufacturing, and integration. Garvey is an industry authority in accumulation and automation solutions. montrac is a global innovator of modular monorail systems for transport and process automation. Duff-Norton is a global expert in linear motion solutions
Integrated Pallet Loop Demonstration
A highlight of the booth will be a fully integrated pallet system loop demonstrating the combined power of CMCO’s conveyance technologies. This system brings together:
· montrac intelligent shuttle system – A flexible, asynchronous transport system that uses independently controlled shuttles to optimize material flow and maximize production efficiency.
· Dorner DualMove Pallet Conveyor – A twin-belt pallet conveyor system that enables precise product positioning and routing for complex assembly and automation applications.
· Dorner ERT Pallet Conveyor – A precision pallet and tray handling conveyor that uses Edge Roller Technology for efficient non-contact zoning, accumulation, and product movement in assembly automation applications.
This multi-technology solution showcases how manufacturers can achieve flexible, scalable automation with independent product routing, efficient transfers, and optimized throughput across production lines.
CMCO Conveyance Solutions Accumulation Display
Dorner and Garvey will feature several key technologies in a loop for precision accumulation environments:
· Garvey Infinity™ Accumulation Table – A high-density, low-pressure accumulation system designed to maximize line efficiency while protecting product integrity. Infinity absorbs upstream and downstream disruptions, helping manufacturers maintain continuous production and increase overall throughput.
· Garvey Aluminum Bi-Flo™ Accumulation Table – A lightweight, sanitary accumulation solution that enables bi-directional product flow for greater flexibility in production line management.
· Dorner AquaGard GT – An innovative table top chain conveyor platform engineered to seamlessly connect accumulation, processing, and packaging operations.
· Dorner FlexMove Conveyors – Flexible chain conveyor solutions designed to accommodate complex layouts, elevation changes, and space constraints
