PulseRoller Continues Growth, Two Years After Entering European Market

Since entering the European market in early 2014, PulseRoller has been steadily impressing the materials handling world one customer at a time. PulseRoller is the brand name for a complete family of 24-volt DC, motorized drive roller products and controls that has been steadily gaining a fan base in the conveyor OEM, packaging OEM, and overall materials handling market.

"Entering the market less than 2 years ago" says David Sellers, Marketing for PulseRoller. "I think that it's phenomenal that we are already seeing over 500% growth."

What's driving the growth?

Customers Need More Affordable Options so They Can Stay Competitive

In order to stay competitive, companies are having to offer lower price points, shorter deliveries or both. In order to do that, they must eliminate waste and cut costs during development and while integrating conveyor systems for material handling systems and packaging equipment.  

For example, a typical Zero Pressure accumulation system may take several days to commission if you have to set dip switches, wiring digital I/O to specific zones, configure and program zone communications and much more.  ConveyLinx cuts much of the cost during development and installation by automatically recognizing and configuring a full linear zero pressure conveyor system with the click of a mouse.  No programming each module, no need to configure addresses, motor direction, sensor types, or many other requirements typically found in other technologies.  

For complex applications it’s possible to replace small servo-type applications utilizing PULSE Drives and controls.  A typical servo application provides very precise control over an application within fractions of a millimeter but cost thousands of dollars. PULSE offers a method that costs less than $300 per axis of motion with less than a millimeter of precision.  There are several different software tools available for engineering and commissioning a ConveyLinx system. EasyRoll is used for simple Zero Pressure configuration; for complex systems ConveyLogix can be used to write your own custom program or connect any major brand PLC to the Ethernet network for total control of ConveyLinx.  

Customers Need Advanced, Modern Solutions

The very custom nature of industrial conveyor systems causes them to often be large, expensive, and time-consuming to install. To expand the life of the system, customers need the most advanced, up-to-date components including rollers and controls. From a technology perspective, PulseRoller ConveyLinx controller is proven to be years ahead of competitive solutions. Yet, it is comparably priced to most of the standard low-level, ZPA-only solutions.
