MLS Series Wheeled Load Skates

Limited space and minimal headroom are typical challenges when moving equipment. The MLS-Series is compact. It's low-height design is ideal for minimal lift heights and to accommodate limited clearance above loads. It's also versatile. The MLSS models provides good directional movement. Meanwhile the MLSR models feature 360-degree movement ideal for tight spaces.

Custom Modifications for Standard Rollers and Bumpers

The products can be custom modified in various dimensions, shapes and sizes to meet the specific application requirements. For example, the outside diameter (O.D.) of a roller could be turned down, or a bumper of a certain width could be produced. These modifications eliminate the typical design and production time necessary for a custom roller or bumper to be tooled up and molded.

Auto-Take Up System

the PRAB Auto-Take Up automatically monitors tension using load cells on chain conveyors, including steel belt conveyors, drag conveyors, the PRAB ScrapVeyor, and more. The system is wired to a PLC control panel, which monitors tension and automatically tightens the belt to eliminate manual adjustments and downtime. It can be added to new conveyors or retrofitted onto existing models. If retrofitted onto an existing conveyor, the system can be operated using that conveyor's original control panel. Automatic adjustments can be scheduled to be completed during low production times or shift changes.

EMH Magnetic Gripper

Electro-permanent magnets like the EMH can grip many different parts with no change over, making these end effectors more flexible than other designs. Electro-permanent magnets have high power density and compact size which improves the available payload for the robot to which it is mounted. Operation of electro-permanent magnets is energy efficient by design as the magnet uses power only when switching from active to inactive and does not consume power otherwise.

Bundle Breaker

The PRAB Bundle Breaker installs in a conveyor's in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, shredding stringy wads of chips, turnings, and bundles apart to allow for effective processing in downstream equipment. The PRAB Bundle Breaker may be added to an existing conveyor or incorporated into a new PRAB metal scrap processing system.
