Your Mechanical Conveyor Partner
When you win the project, you need equipment that performs, installs cleanly, and supports your control architecture without friction.
Industrial Kinetics partners with system integrators to deliver engineered conveyor subsystems that are predictable, robust, and aligned with your standards.
We strengthen your execution.
The IKI Advantage for Integrators
IKI is built around five pillars that matter most to integration firms:
1. Mechanical Systems Engineering
We begin by asking the right application questions:
- Throughput requirements
- Load characteristics and pallet types
- Interface details (robot, AMR, ASRS, palletizer, stretch wrapper)
- Environmental constraints (washdown, freezer, cleanroom)
- Installation sequencing and site limitations
- Inputs/outputs and product orientation
- Customer-specific controls standards

We design the mechanical solution to support your automation strategy — not fight it.
2. Products That Support Robot-Centric & ASRS Systems
Your projects increasingly include robotics, AMRs, and high-density storage.
IKI provides the mechanical backbone for those systems.
Case Handling
- MDR (networked or local control)
- VBLR
- BDLR (PE accumulation, adjustable pressure)
- Belt conveyors (roller or slider bed)
Pallet Handling
- CDLR (4-gauge formed frames typical)
- RC40 / RC50 / RC60 / RC80 chain options
- Modular plastic belt
- Flat link chain 60 / 80
Robotic & Palletizing Interfaces
- Case presentation (single or multi-pick)
- Bag conditioning, turning, flattening
- High-speed robotic infeed
- Pallet takeaway and distribution
AMR & AGV Interfaces
- Standard and low-profile AMR interface
- 24V and 48V powered toppers
- EtherCAT or Ethernet/IP network control
- Big Joe and pallet jack AMR interface

ASRS & Crane Interfaces
- Front-end conveyor loops
- Notched frames for fork interface
- Shuttle and transfer systems
- Lift stations and load centering
- Receiving conveyors from automatic truck unloading
- We understand how conveyors behave when they are part of a larger automated ecosystem.
3. Customization Without Chaos
Every integrator has standards.
We align with yours.
We customize:
- Controls architecture & sensor packages
- Degree of assembly (knocked down to pre-wired subassembly)
- Washdown and environmental protection
- Frame construction & structural review
- Customer-specific device standards
Value-added services include:
- Shop wiring
- Disconnects and sensor brackets
- FAT of mechanical subsystems
- Pre-engineered blocks for layout support

We support your design team with:
- Dynamic block libraries
- Engineered layout assistance
- Experienced sales engineers
- Project management coordination
4. Manufacturing Strength Where It Matters
Located in the Chicago suburbs, IKI offers:
- Sheet metal fabrication
- Machining
- Heavy structural capability
- ERP-driven production
- Centrally located shipping
We are not an importer or a catalog assembler.
For pallet conveyor and structural systems especially, our fabrication capability is a major differentiator.
5. Heavy-Duty Where Others Are Light
Many integrators rely on catalog-driven MDR solutions.
When loads increase…
When pallets aren’t perfect…
When CHEP, GMA, PECO interchange…
When deflection matters…
When structural stiffness affects robot repeatability…
IKI’s CEMA-informed engineering background shows up.
We build:
- Formed 4-gauge CDLR frames
- High-capacity turntables (4,000–60,000 lb)
- Transfer cars up to 600 FPM
- Gantry-style pallet separation
- System board stacking solutions
- We understand pallet dynamics — not just roller pitch.
Not Just Equipment. Execution.
Industrial Kinetics is your partner in automated conveyor integration.
We combine configurable product platforms with engineered custom solutions — built to support integrators who win complex projects.
