Bi-directional zoned motion for safe, flexible accumulation
The Powered Zone Roller (PZR) Conveyor is AMC’s modular, zero-contact accumulation system, designed to move and stage parts efficiently without the need for pallets or mechanical stops. Each conveyor is composed of multiple independent “zones,” with every zone powered by a bi-directional motor.
The system allows parts to accumulate without touching, as each zone only advances a part when the next downstream zone is clear. This intelligent zone control makes the PZR ideal for handling delicate or precision components where surface protection and gentle movement are critical.
The flexibility of application distinguishes the PZR from traditional floor conveyors. PZR conveyors are available in standardized lengths, enabling rapid layout assembly and reconfiguration. Application engineers can easily integrate PZR modules into larger systems—eliminating the need to custom-lengthen or shorten units during installation.
The PZR’s tread and drive design serves as the foundation for other systems in the PZR family, including turntables, shuttles, and rail-guided vehicles, allowing consistent performance and control across a variety of material handling solutions.
