Quebec City, QC -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/17/2015 -- Monorail conveyors (also known as suspended or overhead conveyors) are generally used in car and aerospace factories to transport large parts through assembly lines. Each individual conveyor is equipped with its own motor drive and controller so that they can move independently. It is extremely important that the distance between transported items be monitored to avoid any potential damage.
A LeddarTech customer, a monorail conveyor manufacturer, was experiencing issues with current detectors and was looking for a compact sensor that could be quickly integrated into existing systems so that products remain at a safe distance from each other while they are being moved.
Efficient detection and ranging are crucial to ensure quality of the merchandise always remains optimal and that there are no bumps or scratches that could result in scrap on the line or in the need for rework before moving on to the next stage of production.
