An Accuglide™ conveyor with mechanical sensor rollers can be upgraded by replacing the existing pivoting sensor roller assemblies, air-valves, and piping with Accuglide ZoneFlex™ (ZF) components. Photo-eye accumulation provides more accurate detection of lower weight items, leads to less operating noise, and has fewer wear items than the mechanical sensor rollers.
Can power a maximum of 30 modules if located on one end. Extension Cable 1 meter 23508001 23505701 Optional: Order when distance 2 meter 23508002 23505702 between modules exceeds 6-feet. 3 meter 23508003 23505703 4 meter 23508004 23505704 Accuglide ZoneFlex | Retrofit Guide | 29349913 April 6, 2016...
