Conveying car parts efficiently in a robot cell

When handling bulky components like side-impact beams, precision and reliability are paramount. These long metal parts must be fed into automated cells repeatedly and with exact positioning, all within a compact footprint that aligns with existing factory space and workflow demands.

In this real-world example, two bespoke conveyor systems from the mk range were expertly configured to deliver a seamless solution. An SPU 2040 accumulating chain conveyor provides cycled delivery and buffering of up to twelve components, reducing reliance on manual intervention and keeping processes running autonomously. Meanwhile, a ZRF-P dual-lane timing belt conveyor completes the material flow with accuracy and consistency.

The clever use of modular mk technology ensures the system is not only space-efficient but also adaptable for future needs, all critical factors for manufacturers focused on long-term agility.

Whether you’re evaluating robotic integration or updating legacy equipment, this case study reveals practical insights into designing conveyor systems that improve throughput, reliability and overall operational efficiency.
