Industrial conveyors employ a variety of constituent components, primarily motors. For conveyors operating at constant or variable speeds, motors are adept at controlling their velocity. In this case, the main drive motors simply alter the velocity as per requirement.
However, positioning control has different parameters and requires motors that can start or stop the conveyor with high precision. The first thing to consider here is the type of motor. For positioning applications, a step or servo motor is a great choice.
Furthermore, it requires specific features and accessories to accurately start or stop the conveyor at the desired position. Three such ways for positioning conveyors are addressed below.
