Roller Conveyor Systems

Roller Conveyors consist of metal or plastic rollers inlaid into the worksurface or mounted in a frame system. They can be either manually operated (gravity feed) or power driven.

  • Typically selected when moving large objects such as boxes or tote bins, or more specifically when operator pacing is preferred.

Ordering Tips

  1. Consider vertical reach along with horizontal reach if the conveyor is located above worksurface.

  2. Allow sufficient work area to perform tasks and store tools.

  3. Download our Application Support Form for guidance. IAC engineers will assist in the selection and application of conveyor systems.

Ball Transfer Systems

Ball Transfer Systems use rotating balls seated individually within metal flanged cylinders that are on top or inset into a worksurface. The balls are made of stainless steel, and have a smooth uniform surface so they easily rotate in place. Each ball unit is capable of lifting up to 20 lbs.

There are two types of Ball Transfer Systems

  • Fixed: designed for simple transport of objects across the worksurface.

  • Pneumatic “pop-up” or “retractable”: designed for applications in which the worksurface sees duty for both transport and as a task work area.

Typical Ball Pattern Configurations

IAC uses Ball Transfer Systems that have been specifically designed for integration with workstations. Pattern configurations can be customized according to your needs and applications. Consult IAC with your specific requirements.
