The pallet system rides on industrial strength rails. The pallets are moved by 32 inch pneumatic cylinders which are controlled by a Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller. The controller pilots the solenoid activated directional control valves. The directional control valves allow air to flow to each end of the cylinder to push it in position. The entire shuttle table can be bolted to the shop floor to reduce shifting.
Safety is an extremely important issue that is taken into consideration on the shuttle system.
In all, over seven safety features are incorporated in the shuttle system.
