Reduces Strain and Fatigue
Supports easier lateral picks and repetitive manual tasks.
Introducing the VectoRoller™, Omni Metalcraft RSL’s Innovative Solution for the Package Handling Industry
VectoRoller™ BENEFITS
Operational & System BENEFITS
Potential downstream effects of reduced lateral friction. Results vary by application.
- Designed to help reduce friction at the roller/package interface, addressing resistance at the source and supporting smoother lateral movement.
- May help lower push-pull effort during lateral handling tasks at pick, merge, and intercept zones.
- Reduced lateral resistance can contribute to smoother handling and alignment, which may help reduce skew-related issues in certain applications.
- Smoother lateral movement may help reduce scuffing or abrasion during conveyance, alignment, and accumulation, depending on package characteristics.
- Lower side-load resistance may help reduce stress on rollers, bearings, and guides in applications with frequent lateral product movement.
- In certain sortation and singulation layouts, reduced lateral resistance may allow for more compact conveyor designs by reducing the space required to move product laterally.
- Improved lateral performance can expand design options in applications where lateral package movement is frequent or difficult to manage.
VectoRoller™ INNOVATION
Omni Metalcraft RSL’s VectoRoller™ patent-pending design features proprietary wheels that can be mounted at rates of up to 2 wheels per inch of effective tube width, allowing lateral friction performance to be configured for a specific application.
