## Overhead Friction-Driven Conveyor for Finishing

[IntelliFinishing](https://marketscale.com/shows/intellifinishing/) automated, complete finishing systems features a cutting-edge conveyor that offers a superior alternative to traditional power & free systems—without the need for a chain. This friction-driven conveyor uses a spinning drive tube to propel the carrier. The trolley assembly’s wheels are angled, enabling the carrier to move forward or reverse based on the drive tube’s direction. Combined with our smart controls, this technology allows carriers to:

- move both forward and reverse at any point in the system
- stop in a zone or process without affecting the rest of the line
- move at variable speeds (including faster through non-value added areas)
- deadhead into (and back out of) a process area
