Dematic Model Lift and Transfer Conveyor

This exhibit is a scaled model of an automated Lift and Transfer Conveyor belt. This conveyor is capable of automatically accepting, then transferring pallets at 90 degree angles to other material handling systems. This project uses single board computers, microprocessors, sensors, electromechanical systems, and lasers. This conveyor is a part of a larger, automated warehouse system, owned by Dematic, which is full of different types of machines and used for educational purposes.

Dematic was the sponsor for this project.
