eSort Modular MDR Conveyor Uses Intelligent Distributed Controls

eSort Modular MDR Conveyor

mdr conveyoreSort Conveyor developed our modular MDR conveyor specifically for Omni channel Order fulfillment, receiving and reverse logistics. This MDR has distributed network controls that substantially reduce engineering timelines and installation schedules by utilizing next generation encoded rollers and control cards that are simple to program, implement and manage.

eSprt Conveyor controls allow for easy configuration and implementation, all conveyors including sorters are run off an Ethernet Network.

eSort SENERGY ROLLER

eSort Senergy roller has a unique gearbox design and powerful brushless DC motor that provides an extremely efficient means of delivering an amazing amount of torque and speed with the smallest amount of energy. Typically used in conveyors for Zero Pressure Accumulation or roller transportation.

eSort Senergy gearbox selection contains only 11 gearbox combinations to make ordering a breeze and inventory much more manageable. Senergy’s range and performance characteristics are rated for speeds between 6 to 969fpm and starting torque up to an amazing 215 in/lbs.

High Torque

DC brushless motor provides much higher running torque compared to the same size AC motor which enables the eSort Senergy roller to handle heavier loads or reduce the required number of Motor Rollers.

Dynamic brake

DC brushless motor provides electrical brake method called Dynamic brake or Regenerative brake.
This feature provides instantaneous stop unless the product slips over the tube surface, thus there are no mechanical brake device or pneumatic cylinder are required for many cases.

Wide speed range

DC brushless motor provides wide speed range (e.g. SENERGY, Speed code 35 – Eco mode, diameter 50.0 mm provides from 5.0 to 49.8 m/min) and speed can be selected by the driver card setting.

Functionality and Logic control

eSorts’ cutting-edge controls provide useful functions, not only dynamic brake or variable speed, but also constant speed control (maintaining running speed regardless of load conditions), Acceleration & Deceleration timer setting, etc…

Intelligent Accumulation and eSort control cards provide advanced system functions for features such as ZPA (Zero Pressure Accumulation) while dramatically reducing wiring and PLC programming.

eSort MDR Conveyor Suits Any Application

Advanced Networked Controls

eSort control cards provide many innovative -standard- features for

Zero Pressure Accumulation or applications utilizing low voltage brushless motors. The card controls 2 motor drives in Zero Pressure Accumulation mode. Integrator’s that use PLC or PC controls for MDR systems can take advantage of the Ethernet communications which connects to any major PLC brand for complete control of eSort Control cards. eSort’s ConveyLogix program transforms the control cards into a fully functional PLC with ladder logic, function block or script with the ability to control sorters, diverts, transfers and merges.
