JBW was retained to provide design engineering services for a material handling/conveying system. The conveyor system's purpose was to collect, index, label, and move bundles of siding as they exited a heat tunnel and deliver them to an operator with a Dalmec Lift Assist Arm after a 90-degree transfer.

​

The challenge that presented itself was designing a process to allow the product to stack up while the operator was away and index the product once the operator returned and lifted the first bundle.

​

The conveyors speed and size were specified based on product bundle size and flow rate. A controls narrative was written by JBW to clearly communicate the operational intent of the system to the end user and programmer.
