Wie es funktioniert
The system is built around a programmable rotating base integrated with a vertical lift mechanism.
The unit first elevates the load to the target height.
Then, the rotating base actuates, turning the platform precisely to preset angles (such as ±90° or 180°) to transfer materials to connected conveyors, buffers, or workstations in different directions.
The entire process is managed by a PLC control system, enabling fully automated and efficient cycling.
Die Herausforderungen
Traditional systems often face:
- Inflexible Layouts: Fixed conveyor paths struggle with multi-directional flow needs.
- High Space Costs: Connecting various points requires extensive conveyor networks, consuming valuable floor and aerial space.
- Low System Efficiency: Multiple transfer points between equipment increase cycle times and reduce overall throughput.
- Difficulty Upgrading: Existing production lines lack the space or flexibility to integrate new processes.
Lösungen
- Integrated Functionality: Combines vertical movement and rotation in a single unit, replacing the need for separate lifts, turntables, and conveyors.
- Optimierung der Raumfahrt: A single footprint connects multiple directions and levels, maximizing space utilization in brownfield upgrades and new installations.
- Enhanced Flexibility: The rotating base allows对接 (docking) with equipment in various orientations (front, rear, left, right), enabling easy reconfiguration of production and logistics lines.
- Intelligent Integration: PLC control allows seamless interfacing with AGVs, AS/RS, sorting systems, and production machinery, acting as a smart hub that improves workflow continuity.
Industry Applications
- Smart Logistics & E-commerce: Serves as a space-saving intake/outfeed hub for automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS, 4-way shuttles) and enables dynamic replenishment for order picking stations.
- Flexible Manufacturing: Acts as a central feeding hub between CNC cells, assembly lines, and packaging stations, easily adapting to production changes and mixed-model assembly.
- Automotive & Parts: Handles heavy components like engines and transmissions between processing stages, optimizing complex in-plant logistics within assembly plants.
- Food & Pharmaceutical: Facilitates hygienic, automated transfer between different cleanliness zones in cleanrooms and diverts finished products to packaging or palletizing lines.
- Airport Logistics & Postal Sorting: Functions within Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) to route luggage to specific flight lines and enables cross-sorting between different levels of parcel sorters.
- New Energy & Aerospace: Manages the precise and stable handling of heavy, valuable, or delicate items like battery cells, modules, and composite aerospace parts between precision-dependent processes.
