An air-film "floats" a horizontal pneumatically powered reciprocating transportation bed, which is capable of indexing groups of containers simultaneously. IndexAir lower and carry rack linefeed systems provide total or zone accumulation with zero pressure and complete footprint support.

IndexAir Linear conveyors interface with fork trucks, automated wire guided vehicles, robotic pick or place, jogs, tilts, lifts and turntables.

IndexAir Linear Conveyor Features
And Benefits

• Maintains assembly line up-time
• Conserves valuable plant space and reduces congestion
• Safe, quiet, clean and ergonomically designed
• Low maintenance requirements due to no mechanical bearings or rotating parts and no lubrication points
• Handles unique load footprints which are difficult for conventional conveyors

• Zero pressure zone accumulation maintains a 6" space between all racks being conveyed
• Fully automatic operation by PLC with manual override controls
• Low profile, rugged construction, no pits required, overall height of only 13"

• Minimizes container handling time and fork lift travel and increases efficiency
• Wide weight range capability handles weights up to 1500 lbs/linear foot of conveyor.

• Ensures no relative motion occurs between IndexAir transfer bed and the unit loads, thus eliminating load jams, product damage and equipment damage
• Shock absorbing carrier allows the shock to be largely absorbed by SailRail patented compliant runners and pneumatic lift tubes to isolate mechanical impact stresses

• Modular design incorporates the very best of functional reliablity, performance and flexibility
• Highest quality materials, manufacturing equipment and workmanship as well as dedicated engineering and project management teams will ensure complete turnkey project satisfaction
