Model: SL-FCD
When a production line needs to continue on an adjacent route, this conveyor shifts flat panels sideways without changing their orientation. Three coordinated sections raise the workpiece, carry it laterally, then return it to the receiving conveyor for onward processing, keeping cross-line transfer integrated with the production flow.

Application Scenarios:
When your production route needs to continue on an adjacent line, the parallel transfer conveyor moves flat workpieces sideways while keeping their original orientation. The incoming roller section raises the panel, the central belt section carries it across the transfer zone, and the receiving roller section lowers it back to the working height for the next process. The panel changes routes without requiring manual lifting or rotation.
A cross-line section works best when its position follows the actual factory route rather than a fixed straight-line arrangement. Before confirming the configuration, you can match the equipment to:
The standard SL-FCD1300 handles panels up to 1280 mm wide with a minimum processing length of 500 mm. Custom dimensions can accommodate layouts where standard spacing does not match the surrounding equipment.
The transfer sequence changes the workpiece position rather than turning the panel itself. This allows the receiving line to continue processing the same face and orientation while the production route moves sideways.
Roller sections support the panel during entry and discharge, while the intermediate belt section performs the lateral movement. The coordinated lifting and transfer sequence keeps the workpiece supported as it passes from one production path to another.
You can use the cross-line section where one processing route branches into another, where limited floor length prevents the line from continuing straight, or where workpieces need to move to a neighboring process.
It can also work with the wider automatic conveyor system when your line combines loading, centering, turning, lifting, or other transfer functions.
For coating operations, the same layout can route workpieces between different coating lines or move selected panels toward a separate processing section. The existing machine design also supports applications where defective workpieces leave the main route for rework or where products share an upstream primer process before entering different topcoat lines.
The standard configuration uses right-to-left conveying, while the listed operating range reaches 0–25 m/min. Air pressure is specified at 0.4–0.6 MPa and full power at 3 kW.
If your panel size, line spacing, or equipment arrangement differs from the standard setup, you can adjust the conveyor dimensions around the actual route. This keeps the cross-line movement aligned with the surrounding process instead of adding a separate handling stage.
Custom automatic parallel translation conveyors of different sizes are available for various products, and the parameters will vary accordingly. Please contact us.
When the actual on-site length cannot meet the installation and operating requirements of the complete production line, this machine can effectively address this issue by adjusting the product conveying direction via transferring products to adjacent production lines. It can save production space while ensuring the continuous operation of the production line.
The automatic parallel translation conveyor also has a variety of process functions, such as transferring defective products midway along the production line for timely rework. When different products need to share a primer coating line, this machine can transfer them to the corresponding topcoat coating line, saving manpower and production time.
This machine has a wide range of applications, including producing wooden doors, furniture panels, decorative materials, metal sheets, and ceramic sheets. It can complete tasks with high quality and quantity. It can transport a single workpiece or multiple workpieces in parallel. Compared with the time-consuming, labor-intensive manual moving of workpieces, it is more efficient and lower-cost.
It adopts solid rollers matched with belt transmission. The solid roller structure delivers strong load-bearing capacity and excellent wear resistance. It operates reliably under continuous operation, effectively preventing deformation during lowering and conveying. It also ensures smooth transport and full protection of workpieces.
It uses a high-elasticity yellow polyurethane strip conveyor belt, which offers excellent solvent resistance, wear resistance, tensile strength and anti-slip properties. The strip structure distributes the force over the contact surface. During lifting and translation, the workpiece can be securely attached to the conveyor belt to prevent slippage.
Equipped along the machine sides, the edge collision cushion serves as an effective protective component. It can absorb impact force when workpieces contact the machine body, preventing edge damage and protecting the appearance of the finished products. Meanwhile, it also ensures the safe and stable operation of the entire machine.
Our automatic parallel translation conveyors are equipped with segmented opening and closing couplings, eliminating the need for complex disassembly tasks. This allows operators to easily and quickly replace the base belt. This effectively shortens maintenance downtime, improves work efficiency, and avoids production cycle delays.
