Material Handling
Automated Conveyor Systems
Vertex designs unique automation conveyor system, and integrate standard conveyors to meet your automated material handling requirements. Our conveyors provide reliable presentation, automatic operation, increased quality, and increased throughput.
When designing nesting, we are able to accurately locate parts and prevent damage to critical surfaces. CDLR/roller conveyors are usually powered, but also can be designed to gravity feed. Powered units can utilize slip sleeves that allow accumulation. Belt conveyors are often utilized to provide a large flat surface area to convey parts into and out of automated work cells.
Automated Feeders
Vertex designs and integrates many different types of automated feeders presenting parts for assembly or secondary operations. Reliable presentation, automatic operation, quality, and speed are benefits of an automated system.
Vertex is also experienced with automated dispensing of glues and sealants, and will make your applications flow smoothly. We integrate automated bowl feeders, as well as screw, nut, and rivet feeders. Automated bowl feeders are used to present parts oriented to specific operations or to pick and place. Screw, nut, and rivet feeders are used to present parts to other automated manufacturing equipment.
Automated Gantry Systems
Automated gantries are easily customizable from our templates of pre-existing designs to meet your material handling automation requirements.
Vertex has developed a wide range of applications in this segment. Either rack and pinion or screw-driven axes can be powered by servo or VFD motors.
Axes can also be powered pneumatically or hydraulically. Engineered end-of-arm tooling is designed to handle single or multiple parts accurately without damaging critical surfaces.
Robotic Material Handling Integration
Vertex designs robotic systems that will interface with your most unique and demanding material handling applications. Robotic handling is flexible, robust, and easily configured to meet specific needs. We utilize robotic simulation in our integration engineering to eliminate handling interferences and to verify that cycle times can be achieved as desired.
Robotic end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) and end effectors are designed to automatically handle single or multiple parts accurately without damage to any critical surfaces.
