When the decision leads to automated transfer, consider what benefits you expect to realize by using conveyor-based transfer – for example, reduced costs, increased throughput, or a better working environment.

Modular, reliable, efficient: The TS5 Transfer System is a powered roller conveyor that can be quickly integrated into existing lines for industries like automotive, electronics and appliance manufacturing and battery production.

A leading medical device manufacturer in North America had a problem: how to expand production without increasing its manufacturing footprint.

As one of the world's leading manufacturing companies, Bosch strives to be both a lead provider and a lead user of Industry 4.0 technologies. Worldwide, the company has more than 70 Internet of Things (IoT) projects running in a variety of industries and applications.

The special machines builder, Behr Systems, relies on the ActiveMover from Rexroth to precisely move workpiece pallets independently of each other with a wide range of accelerations to freely definable positions.

Tough enough to withstand hundreds of reconfigurations, Bosch Rexroth Aluminum Structural Framing provides a wide range of aluminum profile types, connectors and accessories.

With a fully-automatic assembly line and the ActiveMover linear motor transfer system from Bosch Rexroth, Wöhner GmbH is able to assemble 40,000 fuse holders in up to 94 different varieties each day.

Utilize Industry 4.0 technologies, including improved logistics and connectivity, self-adjusting assembly stations and on-screen instructions tailored to individual workers to transform production flow and flexibility.

Of the various robots used for automated assembly, the Cartesian robot is the least complex. Also known as a linear or gantry robot, a Cartesian robot can only move its end effector in straight lines along the X, Y and Z axes.

Engineers have a bewildering array of choices for linear guides. Does the application require round rails or profile rails? Should the sliders ride on plain bearings or ball bearings?
