Accumulation conveyor
Elevator system for height jumps
Accumulating conveyors are used in body-in-white automation as transport and buffer sections. The overall length of the conveyor, determined by the size and number of parts to be stored, has a significant influence on the layout of the integrated robot cells.
The new AFS conveyor with "elevator system" from Tünkers creates more planning freedom here: height jumps can be set up with this system as an integrated conveyor line, with a control effort that is comparable to a conventional horizontal belt. As an option, corner transfer units can be integrated into the conveyor sections so that the space utilization of the conveyor belt can be individually adapted to the layout conditions in the cells.
A new elevator module allows many routes and tasks to be mapped with a classic accumulating conveyor, such as height adjustment between loading by workers / removal by robots or conveying parts to a second production level.
