What measurements are most useful?
Provide the route length, working heights, available width and machine positions. Include product dimensions and weight, plus the space needed for access and surrounding operations.
Can existing equipment be connected?
Share the machinery details and proposed handovers. Lancing needs to assess heights, transfers, controls and product handling before confirming a suitable arrangement for the retained equipment.
Does faster conveying improve line output?
Only if it suits the complete process. Define the output and spacing needed by neighbouring machines, then assess the conveyor as part of that working sequence.
How should we describe accumulation?
Explain the interruption it should cover, how products may wait and how they should restart. Ask for product stability and the control sequence to be reviewed rather than specifying only a conveyor length.
