The task
Conveying
Staple
Separate
Battery modules in load carriers are to be automatically unloaded from a truck, repacked from a stack of 7 to a stack of 4 and fed to a warehouse repacked and fed into a warehouse. Production should retrieve the battery modules, assemble them into a vehicle battery and transport them back to the warehouse in stacks of 4. Here, stacks of 7 should be packed again and automatically fed to the truck. In addition, the empties and basic pallets must be handled.
The solution
An automatic truck unloading system brings the stacks of 7 on a base pallet to a frame store. There the stacked into stacks of 4 and the base pallets are stacked 5 high. The finished stacks are moved to the warehouse and reported to the higher-level control system. When battery modules are called off from production, they are taken from the warehouse and moved to the module handlers via the conveyor system. There the load carriers are there, the load carriers are fed individually to the handling units, which recognise the module position by camera and transfer them to the production conveyor line. Empty load carriers are loaded with a finished battery, which is fed from production, brought together in stacks of 4 and transported to the warehouse. As required, stacks of 4 batteries are removed from storage, restacked into stacks of 7 and automatically loaded into the truck.

Conveying system
for load carrier in
the ATEX area
Dynamically clearing the way.
The task
Conveying
In explosion-proof areas, load carriers shall be transported from one production space to the next.
The solution
By the use of proper material pairs, chain conveyors, rotary tables and lifting unit have been developed which by their operation cannot generate any ignition spark. The equipment crosses various areas (fireproof zones) secured by fireproof gates. In a production area. the handling portal removes the product from the load carrier and puts the latter into the processing station. Thereafter the portal removes the component again from the station and puts it again into the load carrier. In order to be able to enter the equipment for maintenance work also inside and to provide it with material from manual lifting cars, a lifting unit with pneumatic control has been developed and installed. Alztec has assumed in this project the complete layout design, the mechanical Engineering as well as the manufacture and installation of the components. The customer took care of the electrical installation and of the control engineering.

Load carriers on track.
The task
Conveying
For the paint finishing system, the Alztec customer needed conveyor technology that endlessly transports load carriers with heavy components in a rectangle.
The solution
For this purpose, the robust chain conveyor technology with two strands is selected. A centrally arranged rail guides the load carriers on the conveyor system. To protect against paint dust, the sensors are positioned in the middle of the chain conveyor so that they are covered by the load carrier in the stop position.
Turntables in the system allow the components to be processed on both sides. At the beginning and at the end of the painting line there are distribution trolleys, which transfer the load carriers to the parallel return line or take them over from it.
Alztec develops the construction of the complete conveyor technology and the maintenance corridors, as well as their installation at the end customer. The general contractor installed and commissioned the electrification and control technology.

We also will supply the correct color.
The task
Conveying
The applicable conveying equipment was needed for the feed and the removal of steel sheet parts to a flame cutting equipment.
The solution
Due to the large variety of sheet metal parts, our team of engineers designed, in close cooperation with the customer, a seven-track chain conveyor. The cherry on the cake for this project was provided by the very interesting color scheme of the customer. After the test run in our factory, the chain conveyors were installed, electrified and commissioned by the end customer.

We span roads.
The task
Conveying
A road separates the production and the shipping area. Due to the increasing traffic and the continuously increasing production numbers, a transport by forklift across the road is no longer the ideal solution.
The solution
An integrated bridge connects the two roadsides. On both sides a lifter was installed, each of which can accept two pallets. The transfer points are designed in such a way that they can be served by forklifts as well as hand pallet trucks.
The control engineering has been designed to transport the products from one side to the other and on the empties from shipment back to the production.

Gentle giants.
The task
Conveying
Piles of metal sheets are to be automatically stacked in the manufacturing cell and then transported via a conveyor system to the intermediate storage.
The solution
The sizes and weights of the metal plate stacks presented the Alztec engineers with the challenge of designing the conveying means in a way to ensure that the stacks could be transported without failure, despite the weight and distortion factor.
For this purpose, chain conveyors with six tracks, driven on both sides, were designed for the longitudinal transport. The cross transport was implemented by roller conveyors with closer divisions and multiple support rolls below the carrying rolls. The corner conveyor included a hydraulic lifting gear that can lift and lower the chain conveyors with six synchronized hydraulic cylinders.
Alztec supplied and installed the conveying system at the final customer. The manufacturer of the sheet metal plates took over the electrical installation and the control engineering.
