The heart of the workpiece carrier transport system from Stein Automation is the Softmove drive system. Using EC motors, the speeds of the systems can be infinitely adjusted between 3 and 25 m/min. According to the manufacturer, this makes the system particularly suitable for transporting sensitive goods that react sensitively to vibrations, for example. Another new system component is a compensation unit that overcomes existing height differences in the system. This unit can be used to approach individually height-adjustable workstations as well as to compensate for height differences in the system. An acceleration unit also reduces the changeover times for workpiece carriers by up to 30 %.
