Round battery cells are fed into the assembly process for the production of battery packs and must be transported position-oriented to another level. The goods to be transported should flow smoothly, i.e. should be transported without a pallet, with maximum throughput and high process reliability.
In an automotive factory, empty small load carriers are collected and cleaned at a central point, where they are then sorted according to size, type and design. A sorting line that can hold the large quantities of small load carriers and react to the different throughputs is now required.
A production line requires an infeed conveyor for assembly stations. The workers process the products continuously. In order to achieve the required throughput, several assembly stations are built next to each other. As a result, the belt conveyor has to be particularly long.
An automotive supplier is building a complete new production line for assembling seats and benches. Various production steps are required, such as feeding the upholstery and assembling the seat occupancy sensor and seat heating system.
For order processing, a mail order business requires a belt conveyor for picking items of clothing. The items from the individual orders, together with the shipping documents, must be fed to a manual workstation on the belt conveyor.
An automotive supplier required a transport system with a height-adjustable workbench that could be used to separate and test components. The workpieces were round with various diameters and were placed on the conveyor system by robots in twenty-second cycles.
Problem definition
In a metalworking application, round stamped parts in various formats need to be transported from one machine tool to the next. The interlink needs to bridge a slight height difference. The parts must be conveyed at 90°, then straight ahead for a section, and then at 90° again.…
An interlinked system that meets the specifications for technical cleanliness is required for the production of syringes. The syringes are placed on the conveyor technology from the preceding machine and then have to be transported through a fire protection hatch.
A belt conveyor is required for the automatic processing of returned items of clothing in the mail order business. The returned items of clothing are packed in plastic bags and must be fired out of the packaging machine with great momentum into the collection bags on an overhead conveyor system.
Customer requirement
A manufacturer of hollow plastic objects needs a cooling line for plastic bottles. The bottles are ejected from the blow moulding machine in two lines and must then be converged on a conveyor line for feeding to the subsequent cutting machine and inspection. The bottles must be…
