Your fast and reliable solution for internal transport
Efficient material movement is important in industrial production processes. Workpiece carrier systems provide an integrated solution to move parts and products seamlessly through your production lines. By using workpiece carriers you can optimize your production line. A workpiece carrier system has several advantages.
A workpiece carrier system is designed to add parts in automated productions and assemblies in production lines. The WPC is a chain conveyor and is part of an existing or future conveyor belt. You can use the system to connect machines and workstations.
Workpiece carriers are carriers or containers in which products are placed during the production process. The workpiece carrier system provides streamlined and controlled movement of these carriers, allowing for the smooth flow of materials through the production line.
This system is designed to improve the efficiency of production processes by optimizing the logistics of materials. Our workpiece carrier transport systems are modular, meaning they can be adapted to specific production needs and environments. They can integrate seamlessly with automated processes and provide improved traceability of products during the production process. A workpiece carrier system is therefore the flexible solution for your production line.
The FS-CS090SL.WPC workpiece carrier system is the answer to transporting workpiece carriers containing products from different sectors, such as the automotive industry or the electrical and electronics industry. FS-CS090SL.WPC is particularly suitable for connecting machines and manual workstations, as well as for feeding parts in automated production and assembly processes.
Based on the well-known and proven modular chain conveyor system: FS CS090SL, additional components are used for the construction of the Workpiece Carrier System. In addition to the FS CS090SL.ALU components, such as conveyor profile, conveyor chain, drives, horizontal bends with discs and legs, the system is supplemented with the use of
Various modules for identifying, stopping, distributing or buffering workpiece carriers can be used to create advanced line routing layouts in a very short time. Standardized distribution modules offer the possibility to direct the flow of workpiece carriers to main and side lines.
The optional use of RFID chips in our workpiece carriers makes it possible to identify and track transport movements throughout the entire production line. This allows the process to be monitored. The use of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) offers several advantages.
RFID chips on the workpiece carriers make it possible to identify each individual workpiece. This allows the system to track exactly where a specific workpiece is in the production process.
• Automatic Data Capture: RFID technology enables automatic data capture. When a workpiece carrier passes a certain point in the production line, the RFID chip can automatically record relevant information, such as production date, processing step, or other customized data.
• Error prevention: The use of RFID reduces the chance of errors when tracking workpieces. Manual entry errors are minimized, improving data accuracy and product traceability.
• Real-time Monitoring: RFID enables real-time monitoring. This allows companies to track the progress of workpieces through the production line and immediately identify any delays or bottlenecks, improving the efficiency of the production process.
• Traceability and Quality Management: By using RFID, one can easily track the entire life cycle of a workpiece, from production to final assembly. This is especially important for traceability and quality management, allowing companies to quickly intervene if problems or quality issues arise.
The process of transporting workpiece carriers takes place on the main line (see figure). Distribution modules are used to direct workpiece carriers to side lines. Here various operations can take place or parts can be put together to produce assemblies. In this way, the workpiece carrier (with the product) can be stopped accurately at certain locations or kept stationary for possible processing in the indexing stations.
After completion of the operation, the workpiece carriers are returned to the main line. The combination of a main line with one or more side lines is also called a cell. Cells can also be connected together in the same way as main and side lines.
Our workpiece carrier systems can be used in various industries. Together with the customer, we ensure that the workpiece carrier system is successfully implemented. We can also implement the system in industries that are not listed here. So please contact us!
In the electrical sector, workpiece carrier systems are widely used in the production and assembly of electrical components and equipment. These systems facilitate the structured movement of components through various production phases, including assembly, testing, and quality control. These systems in the electrical industry provide an integrated solution for streamlined production, promoting the quality and efficiency of electronic products.
Workpiece carrier systems contribute to smooth, efficient and automated production in the automotive industry, resulting in improved vehicle productivity and quality. They facilitate a structured transit of components, such as body parts and engine parts, between different production stations.
Workpiece carrier transport systems can also be relevant in the electronics industry, albeit with specific adaptations to the requirements of the sector. Here, workpiece carrier transport systems can have various applications, aimed at optimizing production processes and improving efficiency. Workpiece carrier systems play an essential role by facilitating the automated and structured movement of electronic components and printed circuit boards.
