What are the advantages of overhead conveyor systems in the assembly line?

Generally,the chains in the assembly conveyor line are mainly overhead conveyor chains. CamelConvey offers kinds of open overhead conveyor chains, like X348,X458,X678 chain and some enclosed track chains, like 5T, 7T or 8'' chain.

The biggest of these benefits is employee safety. By moving conveyor overhead, employees are able to work without the risk of moving materials hitting them or otherwise interfering with their work.

Another major benefit to using overhead conveyor systems is more efficient use of space. Instead of taking up significant floor space with a traditional conveyor system, an overhead system makes use of what would otherwise be unused space above the floor. This can allow operations to expand significantly while still operating within the same physical space.

Finally, overhead conveyor systems in the assembly line offer a degree of flexibility that allows them to be adapted to work within nearly any material handling operation. With all the different types of overhead conveyors mentioned earlier, along with more unique custom solutions, there's much more freedom to establish the perfect overhead conveyor than with conventional floor conveyors.
