TrueDrive™ Motorized Rollers
by Johnson Electric ®Power and Flexibility for Conveyance Applications
Johnson Electric’s new TrueDrive™ DZC simplifies warehouse operations and boosts productivity by 250%. All without o-rings, gearboxes, pneumatics or belts.
Instead of multi-roller zones connected by belts that often fail, a tiny drive motor is cost-effectively integrated into each roller. The result is ultra-precise control with tighter gaps between parcels and significantly higher throughput.
Flexible. Reliable. Economical.
Unlike conveyor belts, which can stretch and require time-consuming replacements, TrueDrive units deliver consistent, reliable performance for their entire lifecycle.
Why TrueDrive?
- Faster acceleration and more precise control
- Tighter parcel spacing for more efficient space use
- Increased energy efficiency, saving on costs
Dynamic Zone Control™ – Boost Throughput by 250%
- Rapid motion of up to 400 ft per minute (2 m per second) and a higher payload capacity of up to 80 lbs (36 kg) to drive greater throughput and superior uptime.
- Reduce maintenance and improve safety by eliminating o-rings, and enable predictive maintenance capabilities.
Low Installation &
Operational Costs
- Built-in drive system minimizes power usage.
- Integrated sensors estimate item weight for optimized energy usage.
Superior Reliability &
Easy Maintenance
- Two-pin barrel connectors enable quick roller replacement.
- DZC Max systems ensure 100% uptime even if a roller fails.
Bidirectional
Fuctionality
-
DZC systems can operate in either direction, reducing the number of conveyor lines needed to perform different operational workflows throughout the day.
TrueDrive Network Reduces Complexity
TrueDrive Network controller represents a quantum leap forward in MDR technology. Unlike conventional control cards, which are only capable of driving two or three MDR zones, the network controller can manage up to 16 zones simultaneously. The result is a less complex system that reduces your capital costs by up to 20%.
TrueDrive™ Product Solutions
Increase your throughput by 250% and eliminate o-rings by integrating drive motors into each individual roller.
Alternating motorized and idle rollers give you 125% higher throughput for the same cost as a traditional MDR system.
