Dorner’s Edge Roller Technology ERT®150 Conveyor ideal for small light load assembly automation

Listen to this article

The next evolution in Dorner’s Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly applications. It is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner’s ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards.

As implied by its name, the ERT150 uses rollers to move pallet conveyors smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor’s open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming.

Dorner ERT®150 imageThe ERT150 is ideally suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and automation assembly applications within industries including:

  • Medical and medical devices
  • Electronics
  • Consumer goods

The rollers are driven by a patent-pending, energy-efficient linear gearbox that gives customers added flexibility with motor positioning and zoning. This allows for zone and slip roller operation. Simply removing a lower gear creates independent zones. The non-contact zone control provides simplified traffic control that eliminates pallet stops and costly pneumatic valves. Conversely, slip rollers can be used for full-length runs with conventional pneumatic pallet stops. The rollers are easily accessible and can quickly be replaced without affecting the remaining portion of the conveyor.

Technical specifications of the new ERT150 include:

  • 24 mm (0.95 in.) diameter rollers on 32 mm (1.36 in.) centers
  • 80 mm (3.15 in.) to 480 mm (18.9 in.) wide
