The company Montech is presenting what it claims is an Industry 4.0-capable conveyor belt that can be operated via a smart touch panel. The menu-guided operation is intuitive and self-explanatory. In autonomous mode, the operator can set the start/stop, speed, acceleration ramp and direction of travel of the TB40 conveyor belt. These parameters are also available in positioning mode. Furthermore, the operator can enter a travel cycle with travel distance and dwell time in positioning mode. Positioning mode can be continuous or reversing. In addition, the operating unit contains a status overview of the drive, which displays the current current, temperature and error messages, for example. A support page and an overview of the conveyor belt's technical data are also available on the touch panel. If required, the operating unit can be equipped with a Bluetooth or WLAN module.
