Problem definition
During the production of titanium screws, the screws are expelled from the lathes and fill baskets made from perforated VA steel sheets. The screws that fall into the basket need to be counted. A lifting unit is also needed to transport the baskets to the main conveyor line at a…
Problem definition
In the production of titanium screws, baskets for holding the screws need to be conveyed from five lathes to the next transfer location. The conveying path needs to be adapted to the given spatial constraints. The lathes have a cycle time of 30 minutes per basket. During this…
Problem definition
An interlink is required for a production process in the manufacture of titanium screws. Five lathes need to be interlinked with two thread whirling machines. Different screw types need to be processed. The lathes have a different cycle time than the thread whirling machines. The…

Problem definition
An automated cleaning station with an immersion bath is required in an assembly line for metal spindles. The spindles are loaded onto the conveyor by a customer-provided handling system and then transported into the cleaning solution, where they are rinsed. Any fluid and dirt…
Problem definition
Two production steps in the manufacture of shafts for spinning machines need to be interlinked. The customer requires a compact workpiece carrier circulation system for round, upright products. A worker loads the workpiece carriers, which are to be conveyed around 90° to the next…
Problem definition
Food production application requires automated interlinking of multiple production steps and circulation of pallets. Multiple pallets with relatively high loads need to be transported. The conveyor systems need to be able to buffer the pallets. Pass-through clearances need to be…
Problem definition
Stacked pallets need to be dynamically buffered in a food production application. A storage capacity of about 500 pallets is required, which corresponds to about 30,000 products.
mk Solution
Buffer consisting of ZRF-P 2040.02 timing belt conveyors on two levels. The timing belt…
Stacked pallets in a food production application need to be lifted so that they can be buffered on multiple levels. Pallet stacks weighing 50 kg each need to be transported. The stroke length is approximately 3300 mm. The machine needs to lift and lower but also convey in order…
