Conveyors

used to move parts between automation systems and also within a single automation system
Conveyors provide for fixed movement between two points along a predetermined path.

belt conveyor / Chute Conveyor / Gravity roller conveyor / Powered Roller Conveyor / Bucket Conveyor / Slat Conveyor / Chain Conveyor / Ball Transfer Conveyor / Trolley Conveyor / Inverted Monorail Conveyor / Magnetic Conveyor / Vibrating Conveyor / Troughed Belt Conveyor / Screw Conveyor / Tow Conveyor / Sortation Conveyor Systems / Vertical Conveyor / Wheel Conveyor / Walking Beam Conveyor / Pneumatic/Vacuum Conveyor

Discrete Vehicles

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can achieve some of the benefits of conveyors but provide greater flexibility and less obstruction on the factory floor.

Assembly Automation Components

Application example: Pick & place production cell

1 Electric linear module ELP
Automatic adjustment of the optimum speed due to revolutionary auto-learn function. Virtually maintenance-free as no wearing parts (no shock absorbers or seals) are integrated.

2 Electric gripper swivel module EGS
No shock absorbers at the end position. Consequently low-maintenance and easy to commission. Multi-level, simple adjusting option of swivel speed and gripping force using manual rotary switch for maximum flexibility.

3 Electric gripper for small components EGP
No wearing parts for the same performance as a pneumatic gripper. Speed version, the perfect solution for high-speed assembly.

4 SCHUNK pillar assembly system SAS
Modules can be perfectly combined with one another, more than 10,000 possibilities. High flexibility due to direct attachment option of the adjustable unit and media routing.
