Underfloor construction for intralogistics
Rod train travels underground
Based on the Loxrail rail system, the intralogistics specialists at Losyco design and construct economical conveyor technology for machine and plant construction.
The rail layout and drive concept of the rails, which are designed for loads weighing several tons, are adapted precisely to the operational requirements on site. The entire rail line can also be installed underfloor for cycle production on mobile assembly lines. For this purpose, Losyco has developed a special drive concept with a particularly low overall height for a machine tool manufacturer.
The assembly platforms are moved along the entire production line by a bar hoist installed underneath. To drive the continuous underfloor construction, a chain conveyor is used at the end of the assembly line, which moves the heavy-duty platforms along a defined length. The drive is then moved back one station and re-coupled. This ensures unhindered, flush-to-floor flow production across the entire line, allowing the assembly teams to carry out all production steps directly from the conveyor.
"This special solution illustrates the high variability of our Loxrail system," explains Losyco Sales Manager Manuel Granz. Crossings and turntables allow the conveyor rails, which are available with shaft diameters of 25 or 40, to be integrated into any factory floor topography. The transport platforms are moved on smooth-running wheel sets with single or double rollers to support loads of 16 to 100 kilonewtons. Thanks to the particularly low-friction running profile, even workpieces weighing several tons can be transported safely and accurately by hand. For higher drive forces, Losyco also equips the Loxrail system with electric or pneumatic movers, batteries, cable reels or inductive drive technology. pb
