Initial situation & task
Schwingshandl realised a conveyor system for special load carriers with engine parts for a well-known car manufacturer. The load carriers had to be conveyed, lifted and rotated without vibration in order to handle sensitive components safely.
As the system is located in a permanent working area, all conveyors, hoists and turntables also had to be completely and precisely enclosed to ensure safety, ergonomics and a clean appearance.
Realisation
Due to the demanding conveyed goods and the high weight, Schwingshandl developed a robust conveyor solution based on chain conveyors and load handling attachments with a special high-performance inverted tooth chain.
This design enables low-vibration operation and ensures a safe, precise transition between the individual conveyor lines. Lifting and turning functions have been realised electromechanically and precisely matched to the requirements of the application.
Components used
- Chain conveyor with high-performance inverted tooth chain
- Lifting station as electromechanical scissor lift table with toothed chain conveyor
- Turntable in electromechanical design with toothed chain conveyor
Added value
- Low-vibration and safe conveying of sensitive engine parts
- Robust design for heavy weights and demanding conveyed goods
- Safe transition between conveyor lines
- Ergonomic and safe design for the work area
