90–360°
01Flipping
Turn or flip products to expose another face for processing, sealing, labeling, inspection or preparation.
03Application solution
Rotating conveyors
Reorient products and pallets without interrupting production flow. Rotating conveyors improve positioning, protect handling accuracy and can reduce the floor space needed for multi-stage processes.
Lift + rotateControlled pallet orientation
Product reorientation04Why rotate in-line?
Access every side without adding manual handling.
Reorienting products within the conveyor path can expedite manufacturing without compromising care or accuracy. A correctly selected system presents each product to the next machine, inspection point, labeler, assembly station or packaging operation in a repeatable orientation.
- Flow
- Reorient without stopping the line
- Accuracy
- Consistent position for the next process
- Space
- Use compact transfer and turning layouts
05Rotation types
Four ways to change orientation.
Products can be rotated through 90, 180, 270 or 360 degrees. The handling method depends on product geometry, surface access, line direction and the next operation.
90–360°
02Lifting and rotating
Lift the product or pallet above the belt, then rotate the supporting surface to the required orientation without disrupting the surrounding process.
Transfer
03Transferring
Move and rotate products between systems using 90-degree, side, inline or nose-bar transfers, or powered transfer modules.
Buffer
04Accumulation
Use accumulation tables to organize products, verify assembly and orient each item for the next step while conserving floor space.
06Operational benefits
Repeatable orientation, integrated into the line.
Automated turning removes a manual intervention point while keeping product presentation consistent.
Automation
Automated rotation improves accuracy and efficiency, reduces handling cost and can limit reliance on lift trucks or other equipment around the production line.
Product positioning
Products can be positioned automatically at any stage, improving production rate and consistency without depending on manual reorientation.
Precision
Controlled rotation prepares products accurately for labeling, assembly, inspection, packaging and other downstream operations.
07Rotation mechanisms
Match the mechanism to the product.
Product rigidity, dimensions, weight, required surface access, transfer direction and available space determine the best solution.
01 · Differential speed
Dual conveyor product turner
Two conveyors share one frame and run at different speeds to rotate rigid or flexible products. Product size and belt-speed difference determine the distance required for rotation.
02 · Flexible routing
FlexMove conveyors
Flexible-chain platforms support rotation within assembly, transfer, accumulation and packaging processes.
- Assembly
- Transfer
- Accumulation
- Packaging
03 · Twist chain
FlexMove Twist
Flexible chain rotates products with enhanced control and surface access while automating product management.
- Accurate rotation
- No separate guiding
- No gapping or spacing required
04 · Pallet handling
Lift-and-rotate modules
Lift products above the conveyor surface for controlled rotation during inspection, assembly or packaging.
05 · Mechanical turn
Bump turns
A simple, economical method for rotating boxes and crates 90 degrees. Additional bumps extend the rotation; installations may be fixed or adjustable.
06 · Right-angle movement
90-degree transfer
Transfer products safely to another conveyor or a different machine while orienting them for the next process.
- Right-angle transfer
- Safe product access
- Equipment-to-equipment movement
07 · Underside access
Flippers
Expose product undersides for sealing, labeling and preparation without manual lifting or interruption to manufacturing and packaging flow.
08 · Edge roller technology
Edge rollers
Frictionless pallet handling for small and light-load assembly automation, with traffic control and non-contact zones.
- Lift and transfer
- Lift and rotate
- Lift and locate
- Turn-and-transfer corner
08Module specification
2200 Precision Move lift and rotate.
The pallet-system module lifts heavy or bulky products above the belt and rotates them for multi-side access during production, assembly or packaging.
- Maximum stated load
- 200 lb / 90.7 kg
- Rotation range
- 90–180 degrees
- Primary use
- Multi-side access
- Processes
- Production · assembly · packaging
09Industrial applications
Orientation tied to the next operation.
Rotating conveyors support product flow wherever downstream processes require a consistent face, corner, underside or pallet position.
E-commerce
Support rotation, merging, accumulation, sorting and general product handling as fulfillment operations respond to high product variety and demand.
Inspection and testing
Present products in an identical orientation so automated or manual inspections can assess the same surfaces consistently and accurately.
Packaging OEE
Improve the availability, performance and quality factors behind overall equipment effectiveness through flexible, precise and space-conscious product orientation.
