Conveyor Control Systems by G-Flex
The control systems we offer have been developed in response to the real needs of production facilities where conveyor operation requires reliability, flexibility and full control. Their structure is the result of fourteen years of practical experience in industrial automation and close collaboration with end users. Based on proven technologies, the system covers all key areas, from safe drive control to intuitive operation and advanced diagnostics.
Safety
The system is driven by a PLC controller with integrated Fail-Safe functionality, combining standard control with safety features in a single cohesive unit. This integration reduces the need for additional components and simplifies installation while meeting stringent industry standards. The modular design allows the system to be expanded and adapted as requirements evolve.
Reliability
Communication between system components is built on a redundant PROFINET network architecture. Its role is to ensure uninterrupted operation even in the event of local cable or device failure. Carefully selected switches and the network’s topology increase resistance to interference and ensure high system availability.
Performance
The SEW MOVIGEAR® drives used in the system combine the motor, gear unit and frequency inverter into one compact housing. Their high energy efficiency (IE5 class), ability to handle overloads and wide speed control range make them ideal for demanding conveyor applications. The fanless and smooth-surfaced housing supports hygienic operation, while integrated I/O simplifies sensor connection directly at the drive.
Ergonomics
The operator interface is based on a modern HMI panel, enabling intuitive system management. Users can monitor the real-time status of devices and the network, access technical documentation, simulate signals, reconfigure I/O addresses and switch between manual and automatic modes. The graphical visualization of the entire conveyor line, along with dynamic status display, allows fast issue identification and response. The recipe system enables quick parameter switching for various production scenarios.
Modern solutions
Illuminated emergency stop buttons complete the system, improving safety and visibility. Changing light colors help operators quickly locate an activated button, even in large and complex installations.
A Future-Ready Solution
This is not a set of standalone components but a fully integrated system, designed for durability, scalability and ease of use. It supports companies that demand more than just functionality, delivering reliability, consistency and operator comfort at every stage of the process.
