Guided holders that carry parts upright
Carousel Indexing Conveyor
For parts that need to stand up: guided holders carry each part upright from station to station, and the holders change quickly when the part does.
The Carousel Indexing Conveyor carries parts upright through manufacturing, packaging and automated processes. A compact layout combines guided holders with a retention system for quick holder changes. We select the length and holder arrangement for your parts.
Design it in CAD and export STEP files, or let our engineers design it.

Features
Engineered for the job it does every day.
Primary feature
Upright part presentation
Guided holders keep parts upright as they move between operations, for manufacturing or packaging steps that need the part in that orientation.
In practiceParts reach each station standing upright, in the orientation the operation needs.
Quick holder changes
A retention system lets the holders that touch the product be replaced quickly for different parts or operations.
In practiceSwitching to a different part means changing holders, not the conveyor.
Guides on both sides
Precision-machined, hard-anodized guides on both sides steer the holders along the conveyor path.
Compact layout
The carousel arrangement fits different station layouts through its three length choices, or a custom length.
Holders

Applications
Where it works, and how it fits.
The Transfer and Product Control Guide covers how parts enter, stay supported and leave the conveyor. Conveyor Stands covers mounting and support.
- Operations
- Manufacturing and packaging steps that need the part upright
- Automated stations
- Holders advance and pause at each position; part detection and controls coordinate the process
Loading and mounting
Configured with
One conveyor, one complete system.
We design the drive, guides and stand with the conveyor, from the same modular system, so the parts are designed to work together.
