A3D Modules
The Prodel A3D module family is the newest, fastest, and most versatile system. It has been designed specifically to operate in challenging environments or for highly automated processes. Oil or dust does not affect its unique flat belt driving system. It can be used as either an inline or offline asynchronous pallet transfer system. The pallet size available for this system is 30x35cm (12"x 14" approximately). There are several different modules to choose from for either manual or automated operations. These modules, once placed on a support structure, compose the assembly line.

Manual stations are available with a number or ergonomic options such as articulating platforms, foot rests, adjustable center tables plus much more. Automatic module integration can vary from simple components such as pneumatics for pick and place or pressing operations to a sophisticated Cartesian, Six Axis, or SCARA robot. Linear motors may be used instead of ball screws for high-speed axis motion.

Right, the A3D system is shown in an offline configuration. Modules are shifted to the right side of the base structure and. The two single path modules used to return pallets are placed on the left side of the line, but are not seen from this angle.

 A3D Assembly System

By using the Prodel handling dolly, lines are easily reconfigured. All electrical and pneumatic supplies are quick disconnect. Modules can be removed and replaced in minutes.

System Requirements

  • 208-240V - 1Ø or 3Ø electrical power
  • Minimum of 70 PSI dry air
System Features
  • System can be used for inline or offline assembly depending on configuration.
  • Special corner modules allow for creation of "open" or "closed" layouts.
  • Multi-directional, self regulated pallets circulation speed from .6ft/sec to 6ft/sec.
    This reduces the number of pallets required by 30 to 50%.
  • Up to a forty four (44) pound pallet pay load.
  • Up to eleven (11) tons of pressing capable on the pallet at a station.
  • Conveyor is unaffected in dusty or oily environments.
  • Clean room compatible with class 100 Federal Standard 209 Class D limits or ISO 5.
  • Electrostatic dissipative features for assembly of dedicated electronics.
