FAQ of the celluveyor from cellumation

The minimum mounting height of the celluveyor is 300 mm for installing the cells, plus approx. 100 mm for the cable connection. With the exception of the cv.GO module, the celluveyor also requires free space above the cell surface for integrating the camera system. The mounting height and position of the camera depend on the layout and function and are individually adapted to the specific system configuration.

Depending on the system, our celluveyor can be connected to external systems via the following interfaces:

• EtherNet/IP
• PROFINET
• Digital I/O

For special requirements, expansion via adapters is possible.

Yes – with the exception of the cv.GO, all celluveyor systems use 3D time-of-flight (ToF) camera technology for object detection and tracking. The vision system is the “eye of the software”: it detects the objects and provides the correct impulses for the required movements. The data acquired in real time is transmitted to the control software, which adjusts the movement of the objects based on this information. Deviations from the target path are automatically detected and corrected. This ensures the precise target assignment.

No separate programming is required. The system is delivered as a fully pre-programmed module and can be integrated and operated via standardized interfaces such as Digital I/O or PROFINET by using simple control commands. For more information, please refer to the product pages

Manual configuration of the celluveyor is not necessary. The system receives all necessary control information automatically via:

• Standardized interfaces (e.g. digital I/O, PROFINET)
• Package information (e.g. barcodes or position data)

After integration, the celluveyor operates autonomously based on these inputs.

Advanced software tools (optional):
cv.GO APP: Enables the design of individual movement patterns such as rotations, corner transfers, or curve transfers. A user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface) allows operators to easily make adjustments and changes to the movement profiles.

cv.PAL APP: For planning and configuring pallet layers. Operators can also add and adjust pallet layers during the running process via a user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface).

The cells of the celluveyor are robust and designed for continuous industrial operation. In the event of a cell failure, automatic detection occurs. The defect is diagnosed by the system and reported accordingly. A cell can be replaced by the operator’s maintenance personnel by using standard tools (e.g. screwdriver) in less than five minutes. Thanks to the sixfold redundancy in the drive system, surrounding cells seamlessly take over the function of the defective unit. In combination with the integrated vision system, transported objects are automatically realigned and precisely moved to the target position. Cells can be easily stored at the assembly site so that they can be exchanged immediately in the event of a defect.

The process:

1. The defective cell can be easily identified via an HMI, which displays the cell that needs to be replaced.
2. The celluveyor is stopped and completely disconnected from the power supply.
3. The defective cell is removed by loosening seven screws.
4. The current cable connections are reconnected to the new cell.
5. The new cell is then secured with the same seven screws.
6. The system is switched back on.

After switching on, the system automatically identifies the new cell. Within a few minutes, the celluveyor is fully operational again.

All modules are CE-certified and the systems with vision technology are UL-certified, having a protection class of IP54, and a noise level below 70 dB(A). Unlike conventional material flow systems, the celluveyor does not require any protective housing.

Yes – an HMI display is available as an option for all modules except the cv.GO. The HMI provides an intuitive user interface for monitoring, maintaining, and interacting with the system in real time. Among other things, it displays the system status, operating modes, diagnostic data, error messages, and maintenance instructions. This gives operators a quick overview of system operation and allows them to intervene immediately if necessary.

Yes – it is generally possible to test your products, goods, and packaging in our test environment. This allows us to evaluate together how your specific objects perform on our systems.

Once the tests have been completed, you will receive a detailed analysis of the test results, including assessments of conveyability, positioning accuracy, cycle times, and potential areas for optimization. Based on this, we can make specific recommendations for the optimal use of celluveyor technology in your application.

Please feel free to contact us – we will assess on a case-by-case basis whether testing your goods is feasible and advisable.

The price of the celluveyor is based on the combination of hardware and software components depending on the project. The decisive factors are the dimensions of the system, the complexity of the transport task, and the specific requirements for the objects to be transported. To determine the costs precisely, we need detailed information about your application. Our sales team will be pleased to make you an individual offer.

A detailed description of your application is required for a comprehensive technical evaluation and proposal. This includes information on:

• Objects to be transported (dimensions, weight, properties)
• Desired material flow or process sequence
• System requirements (cycle times, conveyor paths, interfaces, etc.)
• Any available space or integration environments

Based on this information, we analyze the requirements and examine how your application can be efficiently implemented with the celluveyor. We would be pleased to advise you as part of a technical feasibility study.

Delivery times depend on the module you pick and the configuration you need. Generally, after we work out the details together, we’ll agree on a delivery time for your specific project.

No – the celluveyor is designed as an integrated system. Hardware and software are functionally coordinated. Separate use or independent programming of individual cells is not intended.

The control logic, motion algorithms, and safety functions are embedded in the system software and closely integrated with the hardware architecture. For this reason, the cells are only delivered as a part of a complete system network, including the associated software components.

This ensures reliable operation, full support during operation, and compliance with technical and safety-related standards.

Manufacturing and development take place in Germany (Bremen).

• High process reliability: Integrated sensors and intelligent monitoring ensure stable operating processes.
• Quick integration: Preconfigured modules and software accelerate implementation.
• Easy adaptation to new demands: Thanks to intelligent software control, the celluveyor can be updated to meet new requirements. New software features can be easily integrated.
• Reduced footprint: Multiple motion functions (e.g. sorting, rotating, aligning) can be combined in one surface area.
• Energy-efficient operation: Intelligent motor control reduces energy consumption while maintaining performance.
• Ease maintenance: Thanks to the plug-and-play principle, the individual cells can be replaced quickly.

Yes – cellumation offers training for integrators, technicians, and operating staff – on-site and remotely.
