DirectLine Modules
The Prodel DirectLine module family is an inline asynchronous pallet transfer system. The pallets sizes available for this system are 25x28cm or 30x40cm (10"x11" or 12"x 16" 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.

System Features
  • Inline assembly operations; ideal for serial assembly tasks with approximately the same cycle time.
  • DirectLine modules, though more compact than offline AFP modules, are fully compatible with AFP and allow for creation of combination lines.
  • Special corner modules allow for creation of U-shaped, L-shaped, "open", or "closed" layouts.
  • Full access to mechanical and electrical components.
  • 25x28 pallet can handle a sixteen (16) pound pay load.
  • 30x40 pallet can handle a twenty (20) pound pay load.
  • Clean room compatible with class 100 Federal Standard 209 Class D limits or ISO 5.
  • Electrostatic dissipate features for assembly of delicate electronics.

System Requirements
  • 480V - 3Ø electrical power
  • 120V - 1Ø electrical power
  • Minimum of 70 PSI dry air
