Holjeron Company Profile

Controller generates motorized roller rocking motion

Ideal for tire manufacturing applications, ZoneLink3 Green Tire Controllers control internally powered, motor-driven conveyor rollers, including the supplier’s Microrollers and those made by other manufacturers. The CE-compliant controller is engineered specifically for the movement of uncured (green) tires of any size as they exit a tire-building machine and travel to the curing molds. To prevent the soft, sticky tires from adhering to the rollers and deforming should conveyor movement stop for any reason, the controller offers a configurable rocking mode that keeps the tires in motion—even while being accumulated within a zone. They can also be used in no-touch and zero pressure accumulation conveyor flow applications and can be implemented in new installations or retrofits of existing systems.

Key features include:

  • 6 PNP configurable auxiliary I/O points provide enhanced diagnostic and control functions.
  • Configurable green tire rocking logic (see below).
  • Programmed with built-in ZPA logic including slave, manual and train modes.
  • RJ-11 auto-sensing sensor ports allow easy installation of NPN or PNP sensors.
  • Advanced diagnostics detect missing or non-functional sensors and ZoneLink cables.
  • Speed adjustment is easy, thanks to a rotary speed selector.
  • A configurable “Seek Mode” at power-up determines if a load is in the zone, but not blocking the sensor.
  • Compatible with Interroll 6- and 8-pole motorized rollers with adapter cable (sold separately).
  • Snap-in mounting plate for easy tool-less installation.
  • Fully compatible with all ZoneLink Microroller Systems.
