Cimtrak® Shuttle Gate
Cimtrak® Edge Belt Shuttle Gates allow products to be conveyed across an opening in a production line. This allows operators to pass between machines in a line instead of walking around the end of the line. The shuttle remains retracted until a board is ready to transfer. The average cycle time is seven seconds.
