A low-profile Flat Belt Conveyor is a type of conveyor system used for transporting various goods or materials.&nbsp;Unlike traditional conveyors, which often have bulky frames and elevated structures, a low-profile design features a compact and streamlined Aluminum construction. This type of conveyor typically consists of a flat belt made of various materials, which moves along a frame, facilitating the movement of items.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Modular Plastic Conveyors utilize individual plastic modules or links to create a continuous conveyor belt. This design allows for customization with diverse plastic modules for specific needs. This type of conveyor system is widely used in various industries for transporting goods, products, and materials within a production or distribution environment. The modular design of these conveyors offers several advantages over traditional conveyor systems.

A Timing Belt Conveyor is a specialized type of conveyor system that uses a toothed Timing Belt to move items along a predetermined path. It's designed to ensure precise and synchronous movement of products, making it particularly suitable for applications that require accurate positioning, indexing, and synchronization of items. Timing Belt Conveyors find applications in industries such as manufacturing, packaging, electronics, and automotive assembly.

Flat Top Chain Conveyors are material handling systems used to transport a wide range of products or goods within industrial settings. These conveyors consist of a flat, continuous chain that runs along a series of sprockets to move items from one point to another. The chain is made up of interconnected segments that create a solid and smooth conveying surface.
&nbsp;

Roller Chain Conveyors are widely used in industries to move heavy loads efficiently. They employ standard Roller Chains (#40, #50, #60) to facilitate product movement, showcasing durability and reliability in harsh environments. Notable features include their ability to handle bulky items, adapt to diverse load sizes, integrate with other systems, and serve various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, warehousing, and more.

<h2 style="font-size: 2rem;">What is an AMR or AGV Topper (Top Module)?</h2>
A topper, also known as a top module, is the load-handling attachment mounted on the AMR or AGV, such as a conveyor or lifter, that enables the robot to safely and repeatedly pick up, move, and set down goods. Without the topper, an AMR is just a mobile base. The topper adds functions such as conveying, lifting, queuing, and docking, making the robot useful in real material-flow tasks.
&nbsp;
<hr />
&nbsp;
<h2 style="font-size: 2rem;">Topper Types and When to Use Them</h2>
<h3 style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Conveyor Toppers (Roller and Belt)</h3>
Best for:&nbsp;Automated transfers of&nbsp;totes, cartons, carriers, bins, and&nbsp;pallets&nbsp;between the AMR and a conveyor or station.
<ul>

<h2 style="font-size: 2rem;">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
What is the difference between a topper and a top module? They are two names for the same thing, the load-handling module mounted on the AMR or AGV, such as a conveyor, lift, or pallet tool.
When should I choose roller versus belt on a conveyor topper? Usea &nbsp;roller for rigid bottom,s such as totes, trays, and pallet,s with zoned control. Choose belt for small, irregular, or soft-bottom items that need full-surface support.
How does docking stay safe and repeatable? The station and topper exchange a&nbsp;handshake&nbsp;(ready, permit, transfer, complete), confirm alignment and load presence, and time out to a safe state if needed, supported by guarding and E-Stops.
Can you match our AMR brand or model? Yes. Tell us your platform, product sizes, and weights, and station heights. We will specify the correct mount, power, and I/O.
Do you supply the stations too? Yes.

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
What is the difference between a topper and a top module? They are two names for the same thing, the load-handling module mounted on the AMR or AGV, such as a conveyor, lift, or pallet tool.
When should I choose roller versus belt on a conveyor topper? Use&nbsp;roller&nbsp;for rigid bottoms such as totes, trays, and pallets with zoned control. Choose&nbsp;belt&nbsp;for small, irregular, or soft-bottom items that need full-surface support.
How does docking stay safe and repeatable? The station and topper exchange a&nbsp;handshake&nbsp;(ready, permit, transfer, complete), confirm alignment and load presence, and time out to a safe state if needed, supported by guarding and E-Stops.
Can you match our AMR brand or model? Yes. Tell us your platform, product sizes, and weights, and station heights. We will specify the correct mount, power, and I/O.
Do you supply the stations too? Yes. See&nbsp;<a href="https://directconveyors.com/products/amr-toppers/amr-stations?category_group=products">AMR Stations &rsaquo;</a>&nbsp;for fixed, over and under, side-by-side, and pick and drop stands.
