Functionality
with
Ease of
Use
The
second
factor
is
functionality
and ease
of use:
Located
on the
end of
each
carriage
is our
easy to
understand
“Soft
Touch”
control
pad. The
control
pad is
laid out
with two
oversized
“Soft
Touch”
 membranes
which
open the
system.
We call
it “Soft
Touch”
because
the
membrane
is
activated
by the
electricity
generated
by the
human
body, as
opposed
to
activating
the
control
by some
kind of
mechanical
switch
which
can wear
out over
time. A
new
aisle is
created
by
simply
touching
either
side of
the
desired
new
aisle
location.
The
oversized
touch
areas
also
allow
for
“hands-full”
operation
which
reduces
access
time
when you
have
your
hands
full of
file
folders.
Control
the
Aisle
Width
The
aisle
distance
in a
Jeter EZ-Roller
8 is
controlled
by a
sensor
located
within
each
carriage.
These
distance
sensors
utilize
advanced
photo
optic
 technology
to
regulate
carriage
stopping
by
allowing
each
carriage
to know
where it
is in
relation
to the
other
carriages
in the
system.
This
allows
all of
the
carriages
to
follow
each
other in
a
consistently
timed
manner,
even if
the
carriage
loads
vary.
The
distance
sensors
also
control
the soft
stop
action
of the
carriage.
When the
sensor
detects
that it
is
within
4” of
its
preprogrammed
destination,
it
signals
the
control
box to
slow the
motor
down
before
stopping.
This
soft
stopping
greatly
reduces
the wear
and tear
on
motors
and
extends
the
useful
life of
the
system.
Safe and
Reliable
The
third
factor
to
contemplate
when
considering
upgrading
to an
electric
mobile
system
is
safety:
 The
system
employs
a
passive
safety
system.
Every
time an
aisle
opens
the
system
becomes
activated
and
prevents
the
aisle
from
opening
until
the
lights
are
cleared.
The red
LEDs on
the Stop
Panels
are
illuminated
on both
sides of
the
opened
aisle.
Simply
touch
the
illuminated
Panels
on both
sides of
the
currently
opened
aisle
and you
are
ready to
open
another
aisle |
