Automated Conveyor Carrier
Flexible, Automated, Cutting Edge Material Handling
TTX offers the Automated Conveyor Carrier (ACC®) system.
The TTX ACC® is a flexible, safety engineered and cost-effective material handling solution.
There is no other overhead conveyor system like it!
ACC® units are:
battery powered, automatic, durable and multi-directional, providing reliable and consistent point-to-point movement of everything from small to heavy parts.
​
The TTX ACC®’s are designed
with green standards in mind
• Energy efficient
• Mass flow in the ovens is greatly reduced in comparison to traditional monorail and Power and Free systems
• Electrically controlled ACC® vehicles
• Material conservation
• Modular system that can be expanded as your company grows
• Resource efficient
• Speed, direction and energy can be modified per carrier and per load
• Charging happens while in use
• Environmentally friendly
• Autonomous electrically controlled vehicles
• Quiet, efficient design
​
The TTX ACC®’s are designed
with safety in mind
• To enhance the user interface each unit is equipped with
• Signal lights
• Audible alerts for situational awareness
• Safety scanners for collision avoidance
• Carriers run at a whisper noise level for user comfort
• Has the ability to change speed
• Individual carrier torque control
• Smooth and precise control
• Fully enclosed power source
• No exposed conductor bar
​
The TTX ACC®’s are designed to be flexible
• Multi-directional and multi speed
• Individual variable acceleration and deceleration control
• Multi-traction capability per vehicle, per process
• Easy integration of new parts
• Precise location accuracy
• Robot implementation
• Allows for non-traditional conveyor layouts
• Variable speed capability with no hardware modifications​
• Demand-oriented process times instead of fixed-cycle times
​
​
The TTX ACC®’s are designed
with growth potential
• ACC®’s are hung on an overhead I-beam with standard I-beam sizes
• As your business and production needs grow, so can the number of carriers
• Implement the right number of vehicles for the job
•Easier scalable capacity compared to the line concept
• Base track infrastructure is simple
• Track can be installed by almost everyone
• Installation time and cost is minimal compared with other forms of overhead conveyor
• Easy integration of new, specialized processes
The TTX ACC®’s are designed
to be maintenance friendly
• Reduced install time with simple standard track infrastructure
• Vehicles can be easily placed into or out of service for maintenance
• Maintenance can occur offline when in the ideal location and lighting
• Allows for easy system modification
• Commonality of parts reduce spare part requirements​
• Proven technology with 15+ years
• Standard ACC® vehicles with on board schematic placards
• ACC® vehicles are modularly built, tested and shipped to your facility
​
How they work
The TTX ACC®’s utilize an Adjustable Traction Drive Wheel
• Traction can be adjusted universally or intermittently depending on the task
• Adjusting traction to the task greatly increases operator safety over other forms of overhead conveyor
The ACC® system incorporates a wireless ethernet network that sends instructions to each vehicle via an access point provided by TTX. TTX will perform a Wi-Fi survey to determine requirements once the conveyor system is purchased. The ACC®’s are not an open air system. Each carrier travels through the system using a dedicated ACC®. When switching is required, the control system communicates to the ACC®’s sensors, via access points, to give carriers instructions on what to do at each decision. In order to minimize process time, the ACC® systems are equipped with automatic charging stations located along the path.
