Reportedly simplifying sourcing, installation and setup of power and free conveyor stops used with its TS-style assembly conveyors, the co. debuts its VE2/MP stopgate. The model combines the functionality of an earlier gate with a pneumatic solenoid valve, an embedded microprocessor, three proximity sensors and an array of LED indicators to provide extensive operations control and feedback in a self-contained package. The VE2/MP includes a pair of 3-pin connector plugs that provide six I/O connections for greater control and feedback capability.
