The electric suspension monorail
Flexible
materials handling with a
clear floor, in cyclical
or flow operation—that
is the great strength of
the electric suspension monorail.
Whether it's distribution
logistics in the food, drink
and tobacco sector, production-based
solutions in the dairy industry,
vehicle wheel assembly or
the automotive industry,
it's electric suspension
monorails that make many
solutions possible in the
first place. Supplying raw
materials, linking up production
phases using logistics, storing
finished products and providing
pallets in the dispatch department—these
are all tasks that can be
handled by a system solution.
In complex
solutions, one single vehicle
often handles many different
tasks. For example, when
a vehicle has set down a
pallet of finished goods
in the dispatch department,
it can then take raw materials
from the warehouse to the
production hall on its way
back. These redundant material
handling systems are also
highly tolerant of system
failure and faults and, above
all, they can respond flexibly
to changing load levels.
Special applications can
also deal with extreme variations
in height. For example, raising
and lowering operations of
up to five meters can be
achieved with telescopic
devices. The transfer to
floor-based conveyor systems
can be eliminated, thus saving
expensive floor space. The
electric suspension monorail
makes ergonomic assembly
possible in the automotive
industry. Changing assembly
heights is easy and can be
tailored to the individual
worker.
