The engineers at Celerity Automation have developed a new “direct drive” linear transfer technology that delivers faster acceleration, higher speeds and pinpoint accuracy, far beyond the capabilities of conventional technology.  Celerity has already developed several applications of the new technology, for material handling in the automotive tire industry, and automated production  techniques for a railroad car manufacturer.  With this technology, the possibilities are limitless.  In addition to demanding manufacturing applications,  the $16 billion material handling industry offers unlimited potential for a technology with the LTV’s adaptability and capacity to substantially increase productivity.  Some of the possible applications for future LTV development would include conveying, sortation, elevation changes, staging, overhead cranes and hoists, order selection by layer, case and item, paperless management, and
lights-out warehouse operation.
