An ammunition manufacturer requires a safe conveying solution that gently transports fragile and highly flammable pellets from the pressing process to the assembly station in an ESD-compliant manner while reliably collecting lost material.
A supplier in the automotive industry requires a conveyor system for supplying and removing standardised heavy-weight plastic pallets measuring 1200 x 800 mm. The plastic boxes on these pallets contain aluminium parts to be transported into the gripping area of a robot.
Task
Motor blocks and cylinder heads are manufactured and assembled at an automobile manufacturer. Various motor components need to be flexibly supplied for mounting on the main line so that they can be subsequently assembled. There is no interim storage on the assembly line, meaning that production…
Task
The welded parts must cool down during transport to the next station in a robot welding plant to allow the slag to then be removed. The products must cool down for about four minutes. This requires a conveyor that transports the products both over straight and curved sections. The products must…
Task
During the production of small gear parts, a conveyor must transport the parts from production to the inspection device. A part must be fed every ten seconds. The system runs in 2-shift operation. In order to fit within the existing system, the conveyor must convey the products around a curve…

A car manufacturer wants to optimise the recycling process in the outfeed of a sheet metal punch press. Aluminium scrap parts must be separated from steel scrap parts and sorted by type. The sheet metal parts should be transported on a belt conveyor with a cut-resistant belt and…
Problem definition
Two machines in a pipe machining process need to be interlinked. Trimmed pipe pieces need to be transported to the next machine where they can be stamped. The pipe pieces are oily and have sharp edges. The interlink system must open to allow vehicles and transport boxes to pass…
Problem definition
The customer required a palletiser with a connected tray recirculation system: Pallet trucks are used to feed Euro pallets loaded with trays into the system and then remove them again at the end of the process. The palletiser destacks filled trays from the pallets and feeds them…
Problem definition
Heavy loads should be transported via a conveyor system. The transport system should have a transfer that is as free of gaps as possible. The transport mass can briefly weigh as much as a ton and the linear speed should be between 0.03 - 0.3 m/min (high-speed values and…
Problem definition
Linking a production system for brake shoes. Continuous transport of ferromagnetic workpieces from a transfer height of 1,000 mm to a transport elevation of approx. 2,500 mm. During transport, the products must not change their position. The conveyor must be adjusted to meet the…
