In the production of titanium screws, a handling solution needs to lift the baskets containing the screws from the main conveyor life to the buffer conveyor or tip the containers into a funnel. The solution needs to process different screw types in no particular order and be able…
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…

The customer sought to simulate the entire logistics process for consumer goods for use in a training centre. Using beverage crates as an example, the customer wanted to display all the various stations, from manufacture of the goods, to transport and storage, all the way to the…
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…
Problem definition
In a production system for industrial filters, multiple, separate machining stations need to be interlinked. The interlinks should be as compact as possible. Products of different sizes need to be processed with minimal retooling times. The machine tools should also be able to…
Problem definition
In an application for producing plastic fuel tanks, the blow-moulded tanks need to be fed into a multi-level storage system, where they are allowed to cool. The cycle must take a certain amount of time so that the tanks have sufficient time to cool. The tanks also need to be…
Problem definition
A feed unit is to be used to push wooden beams into a saw and automatically cut them to custom-made size. A linear module is used to generate variable cutting lengths based on predetermined values provided by the control system. The cycle time for sawing the length of one beam is…
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…
