The FlexMove Side Acting Merge Module from Dorner is a mechanical dual merge gate that operates in a first-in, first-out style of merge. As products in lane one reach the gate, that gate opens allowing those products to pass through, while simultaneously locking the gate in lane two, preventing those products from moving. When the products from lane one have passed and that gate closes, the gate on lane two opens, allowing those products to pass. This action creates diversion and activation necessary for merging products from two lanes down to one. Additionally, the FlexMove Side Acting Merge Module is fully mechanical, and does not require electrical components, programming or shop air to operate.
