Transport systems

Transport systems play a crucial role in surface technology by enabling the smooth and efficient transportation of materials, components and products between different process steps. These systems include a wide range of solutions specifically designed to meet the requirements of each application.

Conveyor belts are among the most commonly used transport systems in surface technology. They enable the continuous transportation of materials along a defined route and can be configured in different lengths, widths and speeds. Conveyor belts are often used in production lines to transport materials between different processing stations or to prepare finished products for packaging and shipping.

Roller conveyors are another common type of transport system often used in surface technology. They consist of a series of rollers arranged along a fixed path, transporting the material by roller motion. Roller conveyors offer a simple and cost-effective solution for material transportation in various applications, such as feeding materials to production machines or sorting components.

Automated conveyor systems combine various transport technologies such as conveyor belts, roller conveyors and robotic arms to enable a highly automated material flow. These systems are capable of transporting, sorting and processing materials autonomously, resulting in high efficiency and flexibility in production. Robotic arms are increasingly being used in surface technology to precisely handle and transport materials. These highly flexible and programmable systems can perform a variety of tasks, from simple material feeding to complex component assembly.

Transport systems are often integrated and controlled using automated control systems and software solutions. These systems make it possible to program transport systems for specific processes, monitor and control the material flow in real time, diagnose faults and carry out maintenance work. Overall, transport systems help to increase productivity, shorten throughput times and improve efficiency in surface technology. They enable manufacturers to optimize their production processes and strengthen their competitiveness on the market.
