Lift and carry units
Conveying system for body-in-white manufacture, for safe and accurate positioning
of skids transferring automotive bodies or automotive components, in flexible station
design and in non-linked operation.
Short cycle times ( < 10 sec)
- Smooth component transfer
- Flexible definition of transfer position
- Compact design
- Extremely low-maintenance
- Long service life
- Good operator protection
- No frequency converter required for lifting operation
- Decentralised conveying concept, where all work stations are equipped with a separate drive unit for lifting and conveying operation (vertically/ horizontally)
- Each station can be individually adjusted to the work contents by adjustment of the relative component length = vertical conveying distance and installation height = horizontal conveying distance
- Flexible arrangement of lift columns and lateral operation for optimal accessibility of components (frontal)
Application example (car body of Audi B8 / A4 in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm)
Transported material: skid with car body / car body parts
Mass to be moved: 600 kg
Step length (car bodies): 6,500 mm
Track width: 740 mm (variable, subject to conveyed material)
Conveyance height: 1,217 mm
Vertical travel: 550 mm (470 mm + 80 mm)
Cycle time: 9.4 sec
(550 mm travel / 6,500 mm step)
