Conveyors For The Automotive Industry
Conveyors have been the backbone of industrialization and mass production since Henry Ford developed the assembly line. This is due to the conveyor's dependability and versatility.
With overhead and floor conveyors, automotive facilities can improve production rates and decrease TAKT times. TAKT time is the amount of time it takes to match a demand with a rate. By reducing waste and improving operations and workflow, conveyor systems can help eliminate activities that do not add value to a product (i.e., sorting, handling, transport), service, and/or process.
Pacline conveyor systems can be engineered for a variety of automotive applications. These include the transfer of parts between welding cells or workstations, the storage or buffering of parts, the painting, curing, and assembly of parts. Based on the weight of the automotive parts being carried, and the process requirements, a Pacline engineer can recommend the appropriate product line and solution. This depends on the appropriate product line and solution.
It is worthwhile to note that enclosed track conveyors can offer additional advantages, especially for paint and finishing applications, thanks to their ability to prevent build-up and residues from damaging the system or parts as a result of the build-up. In spite of this, an I-Beam Conveyor can be a preferred choice when it comes to handling heavy loads that require a higher capacity.
Various Types of Conveyors For a Variety of Automotive Applications
Track Conveyor with Round Tracks
A PAC-LINETM overhead conveyor is a medium-capacity, enclosed track overhead conveyor designed for maximum conveying flexibility in small spaces while also maintaining a high level of safety. A weight of 50 pounds. Depending on the pendant.
A free Conveyor Powered By Electricity
Asynchronous conveying can be achieved using PACLINE's Power and Free conveyors. In addition to the ability to stop and move each load-carrying trolley independently, the system is also capable of diverting parts into multiple lanes for buffering, sorting, quality control, or processing purposes to streamline the process.
A Cross-Track Conveyor is Used for Transporting Goods
PAC-MAXTM is a heavy-duty enclosed track conveyor that is shaped in a unique cross "+" shape for outstanding stability when carrying a wide variety of loads. The maximum weight is 200 pounds. The price is for each pendant.
Conveyor with an I-beam
When a heavy load needs to be conveyed cost effectively, consider an I-beam conveyor with heavy duty forged chain and trolleys that are available in track profiles measuring 3", 4", or 6".
