X CCS has recently completed the installation of a conveyor system for the transportation of trays that hold capacitors in the customer's Liberty, SC manufacturing facility. The system automates the movement of the capacitors through the testing and quality review process. Cornell Dubilier, a leading manufacturer of capacitors for the power electronics market, required a custom solution to meet their needs. According to Raymond Stamey, Senior Design Engineer at Cornell Dubilier, "CCS was able to design and build a conveyor system that met our unique functional and budget requirements." We take a lot of pride in helping customers improve efficiencies with automation technologies, and this project shows that focus. Building on our experience in custom-engineered solutions, CCS is proud to work with Cornell Dubilier and we congratulate them on the successful implementation of the system at their SC facility.

X CCS has recently completed the installation of a new mail tray processing system for Mail Presort, a large first class mailer located in TX. The system is built around several of CCS' core products, including the CarterRoll™ CL line of conveyor and our Automated Mailtray Processing System (AMPS™). According to Scott Hays, Vice President of Mail Presort, "CCS has helped us take advantage of the automation capabilities offered by today's material handling technologies in the mail industry. Their products help us receive maximum discounts from USPS for us and our customers." At CCS, we have a long history of helping the mail industry improve operations and lower costs by using automation technologies and products. Our goal is help customers increase efficiency and improve service, and our solutions are designed around that goal. CCS is proud to work with Mail Presort and we congratulate them on the successful implementation of the system at their TX facility.

X Building on our patented technology and experience in automated sleeving of mail trays, CCS' new ATS-R provides the same proven performance and reliability of our previous model at a lower cost. CCS' reputation for innovation and quality help us deliver products and equipment that meet the needs and requirements of our customers. According to Chris Assenmacher, CEO, "we are always looking for ways to better automate functions and activities at a cheaper price for our customers, and the ATS-R reflects that goal." Often a labor intensive process, the ATS-R provides a platform for large mailers to fully automate the sleeving process. The ATS-R utilizes and articulating robotic arm with a tool that forms, places and holds the sleeve on conveyor, which allows for the actual sleeving of the tray. The ATS-R can accommodate any size sleeve, and provides the ability to handle multiple sleeve sizes dynamically.

The CarterRoll™ CL line of commercial conveyor equipment from Carter Control Systems, Inc. has been expanded to include a Powered Merge/Divert Spiral Conveyor.  This new spiral conveyor possess accumulation capabilities, and allows packages to merge onto and divert off of the spiral at various elevations.  The result for users is greater flexibility for vertical storage and the ability to service several elevations simultaneously.  Duane Glass, President of Carter Controls, explains “our Merge/Divert Spiral still provides all of the advantages you have come to know from CCS accumulating spirals, combined with greater affordability.  For those customers looking to take advantage of limited space and not expand their facility footprint, the Merge/Divert Spiral is the perfect solution.”  The CarterRoll™ CL commercial line of equipment includes a full range of affordable, reliable, energy efficient conveyors that to meet every material handling need.

CarterRoll™ conveyors, typically configured with 30" zones, run only as needed to move product. This "on-demand/as-needed" approach conserves power, reduces wear and tear on the system, and reduces operating noise. Each zone, comprised of a set of idle rollers driven by a powered roller, is activated only if the next zone is empty. The zoned design also provides zero pressure accumulation capability and keeps products from touching one another during transport. Upstream zones automatically accumulate when downstream backups occur. Designs can include jam detection and visual indicators, as well as easy to install "plug-and-play" control modules. Also, the various conveyor design choices provide for an infinite number of configurations and flexibility in layout.
