How Vibratory Laning Conveyors Improve Pick-and-Place Accuracy in Production Lines

Efficiency and precision are essential for maintaining high-quality output and meeting demanding production schedules. Vibratory laning conveyors stand out as a critical solution for improving pick-and-place accuracy in production lines. These specialised conveyors, such as those manufactured by us are designed to precisely lane products, ensuring consistent spacing and orientation, key factors in optimising automated and manual pick-and-place tasks.

What Are Vibratory Laning Conveyors?

Vibratory laning conveyors are advanced material handling systems that use controlled vibrations to move products along a defined path.  Vibratory conveyors, unlike conventional belt or roller conveyors, do not compact items down lanes, so the spacing and orientations between products is consistent with a vib conveyor. This accurate laning is essential in the downstream processes where robotic arms or human workforce has to be fast and accurate to pick the items required to be packaged, assembled, or processed further.

Increasing Pick-and-Place Accuracy

The essence of the vibratory laning conveyors is that it transforms chaos into order. Most production lines have products coming in lumps or at unevenly spaced intervals on the line. In the absence of alignment, it is possible that pick-and-place operations have mispicks, jams, or lower throughput.

Uniform Product Spacing: These conveyors can also be used to separate products by a certain amount of space by shaking products into specific lanes. Such sorting enables pick-and-place robots or human workers to run at full speed and without making mistakes because all products are in a foreseeable location.

Proper Orientation: Some products have to be oriented in order to be picked and placed properly. The vibratory laning conveyors can be designed such that they rotate or position the items to the right place further minimising the chances of misalignment and enhancing overall reliability of the process.

Less Downtime: Laning reduces the jam or misfeed which is a frequent cause of production stoppage. Vibratory laning conveyors can keep the production lines operating smoothly because the smooth flow of products prevents production line breakages and costly repairs or maintenance.

Sustaining Automation and Quality Control

With the rising rate of automation in factories, the need to have reliable product presentation becomes important. Robotic arms as well as automated pick-and-place systems need accurate positioning of their products to work efficiently. The vibratory laning conveyors offer the much needed consistency, and therefore can easily be integrated with vision systems and robotic controls. This does not only increase productivity but also quality control since when products are spaced and oriented in a uniform, they can be easily inspected and sorted.
