Booster System Lends Speed, Flexibility to Pallet-Transfer Conveyor
Short-cycle applications have a wide range of requirements. Manufacturing engineers must consider numerous aspects of transfer systems: Can the system move forwards and back again? How flexible is it? What sizes and weights can be transported? Can it be expanded if necessary?
The new TS 2 Booster from Bosch Rexroth answers those questions. The TS 2 Booster was developed as a component for the company’s established TS 2plus pallet-transfer conveyor, enabling the machine to achieve new degrees of freedom and a unique level of flexibility. A rapid intake system seamlessly takes pallets from linear motor-driven sections and accelerates them to 3 g. This significantly reduces cycle times as the workpieces spend much less unproductive time at and before each workstation.
