VarioLoc is an innovative and fail-safe conveyor system that combines several tried-and-tested technologies, forming the basis for the development of a skidless paint shop. Equipped with its own drive, the VarioLoc dynamically travels through the entire paint shop along a rail installed at floor level—without any heavy skids. The elimination of skids allows for reduced energy consumption in the curing process, making it resource-saving. In case of subsequent conversions, VarioLoc remains flexibly deployable, as an upgrade of the system is easy to implement, and the locs can be used in any place. VarioLoc ensures a high level of flexibility in changing capacity management.

The pendulum conveyor is a simple and robust dip coating system for car bodies in pretreatment and cathodic dip coating plants. The car bodies are continuously transported through the dip tanks with the roof up. In this system, the immersion and lifting movements of the car bodies are rigidly determined by the deflection of the carrying chains.

With the Power & Free material flow systems, different plant areas can be traversed seamlessly at functionally adapted speeds. Whether stacking, clocked, or continuous transport, Power & Free allows for transfer-free linked intralogistics without system changes, enabling an energy-efficient, economical, and flexible direct connection of the coating process to upstream and downstream zones. The strength of the system lies in targeted feeding and removal, storage, sorting, and dosing, as well as in continuous transport. The robust rail system is designed to be low-wear and low-maintenance, ensuring a high level of process reliability and a long service life.

The 'inverted' conveyor system installed at floor level combines the benefits of floor-mounted circular conveyors, multi-track spindle conveyors, and skid conveyors with those of conventional Power & Free overhead conveyors. Despite its outstanding flexibility, it requires fewer drives and control components. The compact dual-rail system can be cost-effectively integrated into wet paint and powder coating lines. Variable travel modes and speeds increase the flexibility of coating systems compared to systems with conventional circular conveyors, as they may vary depending on the process and the transport task.

The mechanically simple structure of the circular conveyor is based on a rigid plate-link chain, guaranteeing reliable function and a long service life. The variable system allows for several chain pitches, creating individually optimal hanger pitches. Additionally, it is resistant to dirt, moisture, and temperatures of up to 250°C without any problems. Its simple control concept provides the option of integrating further intelligent material flow systems, creating overall solutions that are cost-effective and economical regarding capital expenditure and operating costs.

The Eisenmann spindle conveyor is primarily utilized in plastic coating systems and the wheel coating process. In large, complex (wheel) coating systems, the various conveyor circles are connected by transmission robots. This configuration ensures that the different requirements of the coating and drying cycle are met in full. Versions with ascending and descending slopes are possible, for example, for energy-saving paint curing ovens with A-lock.

In the paint shop, the use of electrified monorail systems (EMS) is optimal for protective underbody coating lines. Our EMS systems feature their own chassis controls, with which stop positions and times can be implemented based on car body type if necessary. Furthermore, the EMS runs quietly and boasts extremely precise stopping accuracy. The full potential is reached in combination with an optional oscillating hanger. It allows the car body to be rotated on both sides by up to 110° in manual workstations, making it possible to work ergonomically.

The Moveable Hoist system was specifically designed to ensure the process-reliable transport of large and heavy loads through surface treatment and assembly. As a standard, the trolley set is rated for the transport of parts up to 10,000 kg in weight. The modular conveyor system can move both longitudinally and transversely, consisting of passive trolleys and transfer bridges. This means it adapts to all tasks. The stationary frequency-controlled motors of the drives provide gentle acceleration and braking, as well as a variable start-up of the various plant areas.

Our heavy-duty EMS is the ideal conveyor system for car bodies in final assembly, regardless of whether for compact cars, SUVs, multivans, or vans. The integrated chain hoist ensures an ergonomic working height in every station. This reliable and low-maintenance system offers very high payloads with very low weight. Replacing other conveyor systems with the chain hoist often allows for achieving significantly higher payloads at a lower cost without the need for complex reinforcement of the hall roof structure. The system’s redundant design provides maximum safety.

The Assembly Mover is based on the technology of the VarioMover (please link it there). Its compact design allows for precise, Wi-Fi-controlled backing up to the flat, pitiless platforms in final assembly. Since no intermediate treads are required, the Assembly Mover creates synchronous product movements and ergonomically advantageous working conditions that can be verified. The use of the Assembly Mover not only has a positive impact on operating costs but also eliminates the need for pits, creating potential savings on buildings and ensuring long-term flexibility, as subsequent conversions can be easily implemented.
