7.1.3.2. T-Zone Settings
In conveyor applications, transferring a carton at a right angle from one conveyor to another often requires
special lifting and lowering mechanisms. In certain applications, one conveyor can simply drive its carton off
of its downstream zone directly onto the upstream zone of another conveyor that is perpendicularly oriented.
This type configuration is commonly defined as a T-Zone arrangement. ConveyLinx contains the logic to
control a T-Zone arrangement without requiring any external control interface or programming.
Material handling considerations such as discharge conveyor speed and load weight have
to be analysed prior to implementing a T-Zone configuration. Be sure to verify your
mechanical design and carton characteristics before utilizing a T-Zone arrangement.
