ALLMÄNT

Monoräl transportörer, vare sig de är hängtransportörer eller upp och nervända golvtransportörer, kan lösa enkla tranport och lagringsuppgifter mellan två eller flera arbetsstationer som är taktade i förhållande till varandra. Transportörer kan gå stegvis eller ha en kontinuerlig rörelse, med fast eller varierbar hastighet.

Possibility of working in particular critical atmospheres for example atmospheres with dust and/or oven at high temperature, thanks to the use both of material and of special ball bearings.

Operation without automatic tension units, thanks to the chain that can work in compression.


The wear and tear of the components are low thanks to the uniform distribution of loads between chain and rails.


Possibility to have horizontal bends with angles ranging from minimum 5 degrees to maximum 270 degrees and vertical bends with angles ranging from minimum 5 degrees to maximum 45 degrees because the chain is completely bi-planer.

This allows to have bends with minimal radius without requiring the use of idle wheels.

Excellent pull, as to wear and life, thanks to the use of drive units caterpillar type for the chains handling. The pull of the chain is always made on its axis regardless it is achieved on spiders or on bushes of bearings assembled on horizontal axis.

Reduced values of the pull torque and the reduction in the size of the mechanical protection devices (safety coupling or torque limiters) and the increase of the precision in the setting of the above mentioned devices thanks to the use of small diameter wheels on caterpillars.

Possibility, by special transfers, to divert loads coming from a line, to one or more different processes and, then, reunite them on the original line.
 
KONTSTRUKTIONSDETALJER

Monorail conveyors are divided in two classes:
  • Overhead
  • Up-turned

Overhead conveyors are supported from the ceiling or the floor by suspensions. The up-turned conveyors are laid on the floor or buried and then protected by sheeting.


The conveyor essentially consists of a chain running inside a track (straight or bent) made of cold rolled sections with pressed steel straddle plates welded on them. The track segments are connected together with bolts.

  Up-turned monorail conveyor SYSTEM E8: inspection rail
System E8: rotating hook 90°   The chain, completely bi-planer has attachments (rigid or rotating with or without indexing devices through increments of 90 degrees) or carriers on which the goods to be conveyed are respectively hung or laid.

Depending on the size and weight of the loads, two consecutive attachments can also be coupled together using bars.

Special devices are used in high temperature enviroment (oven and pretreatments) to compensate the different elongation of the rail, of the oven structure and of the chain.

Every conveyor has a drive unit of the chain (caterpillar type) and a tension unit to adjust the tightening of the chain by screws and without counterweights.

If the carried products requiring conveyance have to undergo treatments at high temperatures or pass through aggressive atmospheres, the conveyors has a system of automatic chain lubricators, or the components are made of special steel.

TEKNISK HUVUDSPECIFIKATION

Due to their working features monorail conveyors can have fixed or variable speed and the speed range can range from 0,1 m/min to 30 m/min.
Four types of chain allow operation in different conditions:

  • Room temperature
  • Up to 220°
  • Up to 350°
  • In aggressive atmospheres
According to the line features, the load capacity can reach 80 daN (with single support) and up to 160 daN (with double support).
