mk supports innovations in the machine and system construction sector, from the prototype all the way to standardised production. Our experts develop and produce custom-tailored solutions for all sorts of production and supply chain applications – wherever transfer technology needs to be perfectly integrated into your systems.
Problem definition
During the machining of sheet metal parts for home appliances, sheets are pressed to shape. The pressed sheets are transported away from the press. A worker removes the sheets and places them in a transport box for further processing. Previously the worker had to remove each sheet…
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
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
Sheets of various sizes need to be conveyed in a metalworking application. The conveyor technology needs to be easily adjustable for different sheet formats. It also needs to be mobile and flexible. The solution needs to support a total load of 100 kg, and only low speeds are…
Problem definition
Design, construction and start-up of a semi-automated workstation interlink system for rotating assemblies for stretching synthetic fibres. The workpiece carriers are provided in three different variants for the rotors, the housings and the finished assemblies. Part of the…
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…
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…
