robotics.

A Complete Family of Modules

Dematic MCS uses a universal side frame for all modules.

This design feature allows for easier reconfiguration as your
operation changes. MCS is made up of over 40 standard
conveyor models that allow you to configure the most opti-
mised conveyor network for your application. The conveyor
types available to build your system include transportation,
accumulation, curves, inclines/declines, right angle transfers,
steerable wheel sorters, and sorter induction.

More Drive Options

Motorised roller conveyor
Dematic MCS is configured using AC drive motors, DC low
voltage motor driven rollers, or a combination of both. With
this dual offering, the most appropriate drive system can be
applied to your conveyor system layout. For example, with
long runs of conveyor, it is most cost effective to use one AC
motor instead of multiple motor driven rollers. Or, a right angle
transfer module can be inserted into a single length of AC
driven accumulation conveyor by “snubbing down” the narrow
Kevlar ® drive belt, omitting the need for an AC drive motor on
either side of the transfer.

Quiet Rollers & Belted Sections

Dematic MCS is offered with quiet operating rollers and

belted conveying surfaces. Rollers feature double spring
action, plastic coated axles, and precision, “sealed for life” Integration with scanners
bearings. High strength, one piece vulcanised belting is
used in zone segments to allow precise carton control or for
applications that accommodate light weight or poly bagged
items. The segmented belt conveyor, driven by motor driven
rollers, features automatic tracking and tensioning.

Modular by Architecture, Function and Component

Modular Architecture

We designed Dematic MCS from the ground up to increase

operational flexibility. As business changes, users can make
changes to their conveyor system and not have to start over
with an all new conveyor network. To accommodate change,
MCS conveyor uses a universal side channel as the backbone
for all the conveyor models. Therefore, MCS gives you the
ability to “drop-in” new conveyor modules, re-configure the
modules, or add new modules. Also, MCS uses common
components throughout, which simplifies maintenance sup-
port and reduces your spare parts inventory.

Standard control modules, connected using CAN Bus, are

utilised to operate the conveyor network. Motor driven rollers
operate using standard motor controllers; parameters such
as conveyor speed, accumulation mode, and sleep mode are
adjustable. These parameters and others can be adjusted
using local or central controls.

Roller Transportation Conveyor

Transportation conveyors maximise material flow by actively

controlling spacing and accumulation, and enabling vertical
or inclined movement. Dematic designs all power conveyor
components, including transportation and accumulation
conveyors, directional change equipment, and sortation
devices and controls.

Dematic MCS lets you handle a wide variety of items – from

packages, cartons, cases to tote boxes, trays, stuffed envelopes
or poly bags. With an all belt surface, you can handle both large
and small items simultaneously. Even many irregularly shaped,
difficult to convey items can be handled with precision. So you
get more throughput, more flexibility and more productivity.
