Material Flow & Transfer Automation

Controlled material flow

Material Flow & Transfer Automation

We combine suitable conveyor systems and transfer modules according to the product, layout, cycle time and process requirements to create controlled material flow between production processes.

  • Process connection
  • Station positioning
  • Cycle coordination
  • Pallet circulation

Conveyor Systems

Free-Flow Chain & Workpiece Pallet Conveying

Free-Flow Chain & Workpiece Pallet Conveying

For assembly, inspection and testing lines, workpieces travel between process stations on workpiece pallets or pallet fixtures. Stopping, positioning, lifting, cross transfer, rotation, buffering, elevators and return modules can be integrated into the conveying system.

The system supports station cycle-time control and coordinated work between operators and automated equipment.

  • Assembly
  • Inspection
  • Testing
Belt Conveying

Belt Conveying

Suitable for boxes, packaged goods, bagged products and products requiring continuous support underneath. Belt materials and construction are selected to suit the application.

  • Boxes
  • Packaged goods
  • Bagged products
Roller Conveying

Roller Conveying

Suitable for boxes, pallets and products with a stable supporting surface. Powered or gravity rollers can be used according to the load and process requirements.

  • Boxes
  • Pallets
  • Stable supporting surfaces
Chain Conveying

Chain Conveying

Suitable for heavier loads, pallets and materials requiring a stable drive. The chain arrangement is selected according to the load and support requirements.

  • Heavy loads
  • Pallets
  • Stable drive
Modular Belt Conveying

Modular Belt Conveying

Used where continuous support, curved paths, cleaning or special conveying routes are needed. These systems are common in food and packaging applications.

  • Continuous support
  • Curved paths
  • Food and packaging

Pallet conveying is a system application, not a separate conveyor type: it can use chain, roller or free-flow chain conveying.

Transfer & Functional Modules

These modules control how products or pallets stop, locate, change direction, transfer, wait and return within the production flow. They are not simply standalone mechanisms on display.

Cross Transfer & Transfer Units

Cross Transfer & Transfer Units

Move products or pallets between conveyor lines, branches and workstations. They can connect the main line with a manual branch or link conveying paths with different directions.

Stopping & Positioning

Stopping & Positioning

Stops, limits, sensors and locating mechanisms control product arrival. Once conveying stops, they establish a stable process position for assembly, inspection or robotic picking.

Lifting & Rotation

Lifting & Rotation

Lifting separates the pallet or fixture from the main conveying surface for positioning or process operations. Rotation changes its orientation, including 90° turns, station alignment and coordination with robots.

Return Systems

Return Systems

Return empty pallets or workpiece pallets from the end of the line to its starting point. Upper and lower conveying levels, elevators or other return structures complete the circulation loop.

What We Consider When Designing the System

The system starts with production requirements. Product characteristics, layout, cycle time and equipment interfaces determine the conveying method and functional configuration.
