Material Handling & Conveyor Equipment
Turn, flip, align, register, divert, and route products so they reach the correct process, orientation, and production path.
Available systems range from compact bump turns and turnovers to roller-registration conveyors, reject diverts, and application-specific sortation equipment.
Explore Material Handling & End-of-Line Automation SolutionsEquipment is grouped by the change it makes to the product so orientation, registration, and routing can be evaluated separately.
Bump turns, incline turns, turnover bases, and switchable turn conveyors.
Walco Systems
Equipment for rotating, elevating, or flipping flat products between production processes.
240BT Bump Turn, 350INC Incline Bump Turn, 575ITO Turnover, 200RT Turnover
Models
LineMods
A flexible conveyor that can change between straight-through and product-turning operation for production-line routing and orientation.
Kirk-Rudy
An interface conveyor that bridges equipment-height differences and rotates products for downstream printing, tabbing, or other production processes.
Kirk-Rudy
An inline turnover system for flipping catalogs, envelopes, sheets, and other flat products so a second side can be printed, labeled, tipped, or inspected.
Traversing aligners and roller-registration conveyors for squaring and edge justification.
Walco Systems
An inline alignment system for squaring and edge-justifying products before printing, labeling, inspection, or another position-sensitive operation.
Kirk-Rudy
Roller-registration systems for aligning and controlling products before inkjet printing, labeling, attaching, inspection, or other production operations.
KR730, KR840R
Models
Powered divert gates, divert modules, and custom routing and sortation configurations.
Walco Systems
Powered divert systems for removing defective, incorrect, or selected products from a continuous production flow.
Kirk-Rudy
A divert module for removing selected products from a continuous flow based on signals from printing, barcode, pattern-matching, or camera systems.
Five areas usually determine the turning, registration, or routing method.
Document the product size, thickness, surface, and the orientation required by the next process.
Determine whether the product must rotate, invert, square against an edge, or simply change lanes.
Review line speed and the spacing available between products for the turn, registration, or divert to occur.
Identify what triggers a divert, where rejected product goes, and how the event should be recorded.
Review signal sources, control interfaces, guarding, and the machine receiving the product.
Transport and buffer products and cases between production stages.

Explore Service & SupportA bump turn rotates a product as it travels, usually to change its orientation before the next machine. The turn can be configured to the left or right depending on the layout and the process that follows.
A turn rotates the product within the same plane so a different edge leads. A turnover flips the product so the opposite side faces up for printing, labeling, tipping, or inspection.
A registration conveyor uses angled rollers or a traversing mechanism to move the product against a fixed reference edge, squaring and justifying it so a position-sensitive process can be performed accurately.
In many configurations a barcode reader, pattern-matching camera, or line control can signal a divert module to remove or redirect a selected product. The signal path, timing, and product spacing must be reviewed for the specific line.
Describe how the product arrives, how it must be positioned, and where selected items need to go, and ATP can help identify an appropriate transfer or sortation approach.
