Transfer carriage, the ideal addition to the material flow system
At Baust, we specialize in the customized design of material flow systems and possess the necessary expertise to support companies in achieving optimal logistics management. Transfer car conveyor technology is a key component of our offering, making warehouse management more efficient, faster, and safer. With various concepts, Baust can redesign your material flow system, making your company more productive and profitable, giving you a competitive edge. This innovative solution is specifically designed for intralogistics and offers maximum flexibility for a wide range of applications. Goods are transported efficiently across multiple levels.
Rail-guided transfer cars, with travel speeds of up to 2 m/s, are not only the faster option, but their track-based system also offers significant space savings, allowing for more flexible floor planning. The sophisticated control system ensures precise positioning and optimized, highly dynamic processes. The robust chassis guarantees smooth running and precise positioning accuracy. Exclusively, you can specify the type of transfer car, the superstructures and conveyors that best suit your company, and the design of the linear encoder and current-carrying system.
The safety of goods and employees can be ensured with selected personnel and load securing equipment, all while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Various load handling devices enable the flexible transport of diverse goods on pallets or other load carriers. Each component is individually tailored to your requirements to guarantee maximum efficiency and optimally support your specific application. The high adaptability of the transfer trolley allows for efficient storage and retrieval at different heights.
The possibilities of the transfer vehicles
Transfer cars are the best method for all industries to transport products on pallets or other load carriers directly to their destination. The conveyor lines can utilize linear and curved tracks up to over 100 meters in length, efficiently conveying goods. Transport is precise and reliable, ensuring optimal material flow control. These systems offer an ideal solution for complex logistics requirements in a wide variety of industries and can distribute materials with pinpoint accuracy.
The track-mounted conveyor system is particularly effective when equipped with safety guards, as speeds exceeding 2 m/s can be achieved. The track-mounted conveyor can be driven by a chain, toothed belt, rack and pinion, or cardan shaft. Additional settings such as smooth acceleration, start-up and braking modes, and different speed modes can be implemented upon request. Depending on the application, the system can be mounted either flush with the floor or on the floor.
The position and the area to be occupied are crucial for the optimal configuration. The conveying elements vary according to requirements as an important component of the system. Options include transfer cars with mounted telescopic forks and lifting mechanisms, roller conveyors, rotary tables, corner transfer units, or chain conveyors (including the possibility of overlapping for lateral travel). As an alternative to the classic transfer car, a transfer car with chain conveyors can also be used. These versatile configurations allow for flexible adaptation to a wide range of production requirements and ensure maximum efficiency in material flow.
Technical details of the transfer car conveyor technology
The decisive advantage over conventional automated guided vehicles (AGVs) lies in the relatively simple electrical engineering, made possible by the rail-bound transport. The straightforward automatic control system offers an economic benefit that every company should leverage. These low-maintenance and robust transfer cars can transport, pick up, and unload goods with a total load of up to 10 tons. This technically sophisticated conveying technology offers maximum reliability and precision.
The system can handle standard pallet sizes from 800 to 1200 × 1200 mm, as well as long goods several meters in length. The transfer cars manage a wide variety of load types and weights with the highest precision. In addition to optional safety features, various position measuring systems, such as lasers, sensors, rotary encoders, or absolute encoders, allow the specified storage location to be reached with millimeter accuracy. This precision is crucial for efficient material flow control.
The modern control system enables seamless integration into existing warehouse management systems and ensures optimized processes. Intelligent networking allows for the automation of complex transport tasks and the optimization of the entire material flow. The transfer cars operate reliably and without disruption, leading to a significant increase in productivity.
