Power Shuttle Car – PSC (Parallel Application)

The Innoveyance Power Shuttle Car (Parallel Application) automatically transfers loads between conveyor lines arranged parallel to the car’s travel, indexing line-to-line under automatic control. It is the configuration for high-flow routing among parallel machines or lanes.

Automated transfer across parallel lines

With lines running parallel to its rail, the shuttle aligns to any position and runs its on-board conveyor to receive or discharge loads — all under plant control. It consolidates many possible line-to-line moves into one fast, repeatable device.

Built for flow and uptime

Position control and positive drive deliver accurate, repeatable indexing at production rates. The on-board deck is matched to the connecting conveyors and load class for clean handoffs.

Heavy-duty, US-engineered

Rugged structure and proven drives carry full loads in continuous duty. Every system is engineered, built, and supported in the United States, so lead times, customization, and service stay close to your plant — not an ocean away.

Category: Cars

The Power Shuttle Car — Parallel Application transfers loads between parallel lines. An optional variable frequency controller provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, and slow-down and over-travel limits are provided.

Support Wheels: Four 8ʺ poly-type wheel assemblies in precision flange-mounted bearings. The floor surface must be smooth and level to ensure proper operation and prolong wheel life.

Features

Safety Features: Optional pressure-sensitive safety bumpers at both ends. A warning light and audible signal with automatic decibel tone indicate the car is in motion, and emergency-stop buttons are located at the control station (when applicable).
Sideframe: 5ʺ x 6.7# structural channel with 1/4ʺ x 2-1/2ʺ drop-in roller support bar. Rollers are 10 gauge, 2-1/2ʺ diameter on 3ʺ centers on 11/16ʺ hex shafts; heavy-duty greased, shielded, sealed bearings rated 750# per roller.
Guidance: In-floor center guide track with a 1-3/4ʺ opening in which two guide mechanisms ride.
Controls: Allen-Bradley Series 5 programmable controller in a floor-mounted control panel provides manual and (when applicable) automatic control.

Specifications

PSC Drive: 1 or 1-1/2 HP brakemotor with optional variable frequency controller, capable of 100 FPM high speed; single speeds of 30, 45, or 60 FPM.
Conveyor Drive: 1 HP totally enclosed, industrial-rated 1750 RPM motor.
Power: Festoon cable connects to a mast mounted to the car.
Preassembly: Unit is wired and (if applicable) plumbed to a junction box at the factory.
Conveyor Height: 12ʺ TOR minimum.
Capacity: 5,000 lbs. maximum.
Voltage: 230/460 volt, 60 hertz, 3 phase with 115 volt single-phase control voltage.

FAQs

Q: What is a parallel-application power shuttle car?

A: It is an automated rail-guided shuttle that serves conveyor lines arranged parallel to its travel, indexing to each line position and transferring loads with its on-board powered conveyor under automatic control.

Q: How does it differ from the perpendicular application?

A: In the parallel application, the served lines run parallel to the car's rail; in the perpendicular application, lines meet the car at a right angle. Innoveyance configures the shuttle to your plant layout.

Q: Is it made in the USA?

A: Yes. Innoveyance engineers, manufactures, and services the Power Shuttle Car in the United States.
