Reduce Engineering Complexity and Risks
Smart Conveyance empowers machine builders to move their projects from concept to assembly to production up to 45% faster than with traditional conveyance, with simplified tooling, reduced floorspace, and an overall reduction in engineering hours.
Conveyance is the foundation of your factory automation and touches practically every component, helping engineers, system designers, integrators, and manufacturers accomplish high-performance automation with an improved ROI. Considering conveyance early in the design phase of your factory automation fundamentally changes the way you design your system.
System Simulations
Creating a simulation of your system early in the design phase helps to optimize processes, evaluate performance requirements, and understand energy consumption. Overall, this process can reduce application engineering by 15% and provides more insight as the design phase begins.
Simulations are created using the platform’s TrakMaster™ software. Simulations demonstrate precisely how an application will perform on the final system. Whether conceiving a new application or adapting to a last-minute change in requirements, the simulation can evolve with your project and be loaded directly onto the SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ platform anytime.

Straightforward Configuration
The straightforward configuration of the SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ platform’s integrated functionality removes the barriers inherent to asynchronous motion and reduces engineering hours associated with usual complex programming.
SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ systems also have built-in PLC function blocks that provide intuitive interfaces for functions such as configuring shuttle motion, accessing data, and setting parameters. SuperTrak’s controller software can be configured with TrakMaster™ software and/or live via the PLC: set-up motion configurations and targets using TrakMaster™ software, while the PLC enables faster implementation and easier diagnostics.
Multiple Configuration Options
Reduced floorspace, cycle times, and buffer zones are just a few reasons SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ is attractive to machine builders and automation integrators.
With multiple SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ configurations available and simulations to support the design phase, machine builders can configure a system that meets their requirements without opting for a fully custom conveyance solution.
Seamless Installation
SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ is designed for seamless installation, enabling machine builders to move from delivery to production-ready motion in the shortest possible time. Its modular track architecture, pre-engineered mechanical interfaces, and integrated electrical interconnects reduce alignment complexity and eliminate the need for custom fabrication.
With standardized curve and straight segments, compact footprint options, and clear mechanical datums, assembly is intuitive and repeatable. Integrated commissioning tools within TrakMaster streamline setup, allowing motion parameters, shuttle configuration, and synchronization to be established quickly and confidently. The result is faster build time, reduced integration risk, and a smooth transition from mechanical assembly to high-performance operation.
