In general, Cart-on-Track Conveyor is ideal for the following conditions:
- Unit + In-Floor + Accumulate
- Used to transport carts along a track
- Carts are transported by a rotating tube
- Connected to each cart is a drive wheel that rests on the tube and that is used to vary the speed of the cart (by varying the angle of contact between the drive wheel and the tube)
- Carts are independently controlled
- Accumulation can be achieved by maintaining the drive wheel parallel to the tube
