B&R ACOPOStrak Review Summary
The feature that sets ACOPOStrak apart from other independent-shuttle tracks is its diverter. Shuttles are switched between tracks electromagnetically at full speed, with no moving parts, so product flows can be split and merged, bad parts ejected and stations bypassed. Shuttles run at up to 4 m/s, are held by permanent magnets and can be exchanged while the line runs. They come in 50 and 100 mm sizes for 1 to 2 kg, so this is a system for small, fast products. Accuracy is ±50 to 150 µm, and protection is IP65 or IP69K.
Pros
