Material handling is a broad subject that involves the transfer of cargo on conveyors during manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. Conveyors are widely used to move quantities of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. They are often the most cost-effective means of safely transporting large volumes of product, and they lend themselves to automated operation. There are two material handling subcategories in belt conveyors: unit handling ...

Automated assembly systems can be classified into two major categories: synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous systems are ideal for high-volume assembly of small products with long life cycles. Think spark plugs or syringes. Synchronous systems are driven by a central camshaft that rotates at a constant speed. Each assembly station is associated with one or more cams on the shaft. As the cams rotate, they trigger ...
