Of course, there is also the option of having your entire conveyor system planned by our CAD service. We're more than happy to answer your questions on this in person. This is why it's important to consider the maximum and minimum product sizes that will be used on the conveyor. If items are too small for the roller conveyor, it can be an advantage to use totes for smaller products. It is also common to see companies using baseboards for items, to cover a larger surface area. Once the correct gravity roller conveyors have been selected, it will need to be mounted on a set of suitable support frames. This means that the investment always pays off when matters related to conveyance tend to be of secondary importance in your company, while assembly or goods processing take priority. This makes ball units tables one of the indispensable elements for optimised process logistics:

The weight of the heaviest good to be transported : 3 = required load-bearing capacity of the individual ball unit Another key characteristic of roller table motors is the ability to dissipate heat. This relates to the load, acceleration and frequency of starts, plus – importantly – a factor to account for the thermal consequences of stalls. Within the industry, this is referred to as the ‘B value’ and is always quoted on technical specifications because of its fundamental importance. In this case, you shouldn't just think about the number of metres, but instead, also factor in the free space required to the left and right of the belt, or space for intersections and distribution points to other elements and components of the conveyor technology. Roller conveyors are the most simple and affordable type of material handling equipment when considering an investment in roller conveyor systems. Weight capacity: Make sure the table can support the weight of the material you will be working with.

Rollerways and Measuring

We also carry a range of standard sizes, offering gravity roller conveyors for sale 'off the shelf', as we understand that in some circumstances lead times are critical. A ball unit table is an extension unit for roller conveyors, conveyor belts and other products from our range of products for conveyor technology. Its function is as simple as it is clever: instead of moving transport goods in one direction only, the items can be moved in any direction at the same level on the ball units with individual bearings. You'll always profit from this when the goods don't just need to be moved from one place to another, but also need further work: We have a custom-built manufacturing facility, where we are in control of our own gravity roller conveyor manufacturing, design, steel processing, finishing, and assembling of conveyors from start to finish. Roller tables can also be used as a standalone piece of equipment for tasks such as assembling or sanding large projects. They can be adjusted to the desired height, making it easier for the operator to work on the project without having to bend or stoop. This can be particularly apparent when using smaller diameter PVC conveyor rollers. To combat this, heavy-duty conveyor rollers can be used with greater tube walls, bearing load capacities, and axle diameters.

Just like they are for the belts, the weight and dimensions of the goods to be transported are the decisive criteria. The weight of the heaviest good is important for the required load-bearing capacity of the individual ball units. You can calculate this factor as follows: Size: Choose a table that is appropriate for the size of your workshop and the types of projects you will be working on. Roller conveyors are most effective when a company installs ones that operate only by using the force of gravity on a gradient between two and five percent. This allows them to unfold all the advantages they offer in an optimal way:

The wider a roller tube becomes the weight distributed over the roller causes deflection in the material. This means that the conveyor bearings will not be working to their full load capacity. For many years AC motors have been preferred for roller table applications because they require less maintenance than DC motors and the use of inverter drives is well-proven in the field. In cases like this, the gravity-based solutions will prevail everywhere that your employees need access to a transported good – for example, to unload or load an item, prepare it for shipment, or use it for other purposes.

These are the reasons why many companies with the corresponding volume of goods only ever use roller conveyors as conveyor technology. If your goods need to cover longer distances, or you require the help of a motor for transport, then you can, of course, also integrate roller conveyors into a multi-dimensional system comprised of conveyor belts, roller conveyors and similar components. Roller tables require special motors with a high dynamic constant, plus a robust overall design to withstand the extreme heat and dirt of a steel mill. Such motors are used throughout the rolling mill on general conveying duties, but on the reversing mill and associated approach tables, the operating duties are extreme with constant stop/starts and instant reversal of directions.

kaiserkraft offers you ball unit tables as modules, allowing you to put together your conveyor system to cater to your individual space requirements and alignment. As standard, we offer versions that allow you to extend light-duty and skate wheel conveyors, as well as models for the transport of heavy goods in combination with roller conveyors. The dimensions and properties of the goods you usually need to convey form the focus of your selection – which, incidentally, also applies for skate wheel conveyors and ball unit tables. We offer our conveyor technology as a modular system. This ensures you have the highest possible level of flexibility and can determine your need for straight sections, curves or connecting passages individually. The straight elements are then used for form the core of the conveyor belts, and therefore also form the basis of your needs assessment. Integrated into a system of roller conveyors and similar technology, they reduce the duration of transport and, at the same time, also minimise the space required for the conveyor system – and ultimately allows it to go around corners without problems. The ball unit table is the perfect connecting piece at branches and intersections in a conveyor system with a multidimensional configuration.

Roller tables are commonly used in conjunction with other woodworking equipment such as table saws, planers, sanders and cross cut saws (to name a few!). They can be used to help support the weight of long pieces of lumber or sheet goods as they are fed through these machines, making it easier for the operator to handle the material and reducing the risk of damage. Low-intensity maintenance due to motor-free operation, and inexpensive replacement of individual rollers or modular elements We can offer frames to provide a natural fall over a required distance. Where distances become too great, powered conveyors should be considered.The required fall on the roller conveyor will depend on the weight of the product traveling down the conveyor.
