System Overview
EMS (Electrified Monorail System) is built to ensure that product is always moved in the safest, quietest, cleanest and most efficient way possible. The ASI EMS system arrives at your facility pre-assembled and pre-tested for a quick system startup.
Designed and manufactured with onboard intelligence, ASI’s EMS controls permit rapid point-to-point product movement in your facility, quickly and easily allowing you to handle incoming material and saving you time and money. Also, ASI’s EMS provides for tight speed control in production areas and features state-of-the-art components, allowing for future expansion.
Simple to maintain, the ASI EMS system is constructed with minimal wires and zone cuts, and also features an intelligent tractor. For added efficiency, product radio-frequency identification can easily be added, providing for quality control tracking of your product and/or facilitating custom processes through automation. ASI offers both a contact and contactless (induction power) solution.
Best of all, the ASI EMS system is built in Kansas City, Missouri, which means that quick delivery of replacement parts is always just a phone call away.
Electrified Monorail System
Routing on your plant floor can be achieved on a quiet, clean and safe ASI EMS conveyor system. ASI Electrified Monorail System Carriers travel from station to station for component assembly and required torque of fasteners.
Power for the carrier trolley can be supplied with Induction power and communication eliminating all maintenance of typical conductor bars and brush systems. Non-contact communications with carrier controls to the main PLC is through the Wampfler iDAT communication modules.
On board PLC smart controls and variable speed for each carrier is achieved with open source controls that seamlessly interface the power unit and the main ASI System PLC controls. Coded rail throughout the system provides exact positioning of every carrier.
A family of sizes ranging from 1,500# to 7,500# trolley loads can be handled with our four generations of EMS rail. Safe movement for each carrier is achieved with optical sensors mounted on the front and rear of the carrier.
Carrier movement from station to station can be automatic or operator release as required by the process. Each carrier could include VFD or servo motor controlled lift and rotate features for ergonomic access by the operators.
