Skillet Conveyor

Skillet conveyors are large, moving platforms that support both the vehicle and the manufacturing team performing assembly operations. Known as a platform conveyor; the "skillets" are arranged in a positive contact, accumulated manner, creating the effect of a moving floor. This type of conveyor system provides a synergy between people, processes, and technology. The ergonomic design helps to reduce fatigue and improve production quality by allowing the vehicle height to be adjusted throughout the assembly process. Each pallet can be customised for each product, station, and operation. Some systems are so advanced, that as vehicles progress between the different stations, the conveyor system adjusts their height automatically to allow for improved quality and ergonomic ease of assembly. Depending on the process, team members may also be allowed to adjust the working level to their comfortable working height. Decking on these pallets is normally a fatigue relief material to further improve worker comfort and productivity. The advantages include: multiple product capacity; variable speed process capabilities; smooth, silent operation; advanced flexible logic control; ease of operation and low maintenance; stable load handling; smooth transfers; low installation cost; no lubrication systems required; and standard electrical components.
