The single chain overhead conveyor is a quasi universal means of handling which is integrated in all types of industries and transports the most various loads. The chain with Cardan joint , guided by a tubular profile, authorizes greatest freedom in the geometrical design of the circuit (curves in the two plans, …)

Electric suspension monorail systems, also as inductive conveying systems, are often an interesting alternative solution to linear sorters. All vehicles of one solution can hold the distance to next one on their own. The system performance is very flexibly scalable.
|
|
The Overhead monorail chain conveyor forms a closed loop, and the speed of the chain can be adjusted, using a speed transmission.
The suspended tray conveyors, spreaders or carried parts are directly hooked to the conveyor chain.

There is a wide variety of suspended chain conveyors, but they can be easily divided into "closed" and "open" rail types. Both these chain conveyor types are included in the Railtechniek range.
General Concept: A suspended chain conveyor always forms a closed loop. This loop consists of a chain which is driven over or through a rail profile by a caterpillar track or chainwheel drive set. Horizontal bends, as well as vertical drops and rises, can be built into a chain conveyor circuit. The weight of the loads to be carried by the chain and the circuit length are the critical points in determining the choice of chain.
In a number of cases, the operating conditions determine whether an open or closed chain conveyor is used. Usually, a closed-rail type with a short-link universal joint chain is selected, this can hinge in three dimensions. Such a system is flexible and the chain is safely enclosed in a rail tube. Beside the lack of this safety aspect, an open-rail type also has the disadvantage that each bend has to be fitted with a wheel guide. The rise and fall angle is limited and requires a long approach length for a limited difference in level. However, the breaking strength and load capacity is considerably higher than for closed conveyors. An open-rail type with trolleys connected by drop-forged links can be found in foundries, rolling mills, steel sandblasting and enamelling workplaces and in car and farm machinery assembly lines. They are internationally indicated as 3.4.8, 4.5.8 and 6.7.8-inch systems. The numbering gives the strength and dimensions of the chain.

With a monorail system, the hoist and trolley run on a single stationary beam. Because of their inherent speed and efficiency, monorail systems are an effective method of moving and positioning loads to specific locations. They are available in capacities up to 150 tons.
Our engineering staff can design complex monorail systems including curved tracks, multiple switches and interlocks which permit monorails to interface with other material handling systems. Highly automated monorail systems, controlled by computers or programmable logic controllers, are also available.
We design and build supporting structures, too-both ceiling-suspended and floor-mounted self-supporting. This allows us to provide you with the most cost-competitive monorail system for your facility.
Common Applications:
Monorails are often used for repetitive production jobs, such as paint booths and water treatment plants. Monorails are best used in applications where materials are to be transported from one fixed point to another fixed location, or through a process; e.g., painting, blasting, delivering hot metal from the furnace to a fixed pouring location. The monorail allows two axes of hook movement: up/down and forward/back along the monorail beam. There is no lateral motion under the monorail beam.

Manual Monorail Systems are the most versatile and widely used technology in the “Overhead” conveyor systems.
Installations are many and varied ranging trough painting, wood treatment, greenhouses, exhibitions and theaters to name a few.
If properly constructed and manufactured, it is a user-friendly tool for goods, equipment or walls by hand floor Friday to move and edit. Rail Engineering has a market-oriented series profiles for different uses and taxes in brick elements. Each profile measure from the series is supplemented with bends, liaison and attachments, bills, turntables and rail lifts in standard components that easily connect to each other and ensure a smooth course.
There is a large choice of trolley cars piece by piece by a high degree of tolerance perfect, with a slight handshake by the tube-shaped profile to move. By connecting auxiliary machinery, physical acts, and it prevents fatigue and back complaints.
A Rail Engineering monorail system is very suitable for self-assembly and is also available in individual parts.

Our cranes and jibs are manufactured based on the Lyftman LR-System profiles. The reliable and cost effective steel profile LR120/170 is produced from cold rolled, single piece high strength steel. The self-adjusting joint concept is designed to simplify installation. Our automatic powder coating line ensures high quality resistance to corrosion and long service life. With four basic track sizes an optimized combination is always guaranteed. Offers a span up to 8 meters between supports for ceiling structures with infrequent support points.
Monorail
The monorail system is a cost effective choice with all the advantages of the Lyftman LR-System. The monorail serves a working area along a straight line when there is no demand for sideways transportation. The modular design of the LR-System allows for extensions and additions to create an x-y system anytime.

SSI's overhead trolleys are simple, yet offer a comprehensive capability that can profitably be applied to precisely and accurately moving a wide variety of materials. 3", 4", or 6" trolley systems are available with a wide selection of versatile components and accessories. Installations that follow almost any required horizontal or vertical direction or turn are possible because of the conveyor's exceptional flexibility.
The SSI Overhead reduces the manual handling of materials, while simultaneously increasing speed and accuracy. Costly losses due to damage and negligence are considerably decreased. The conveyor can also furnish the convenient storage of parts until needed for processing by elevating them to the ceiling or between roof trusses. SSI's overhead conveyors maximize square footage by utilizing a plant's overhead space to free up floor space for other operations.
With its chain and trolleys properly shielded, the SSI Overhead Conveyor can participate in and be used for transporting materials through operations such as metal cleaning, painting, dipping, chemical processing, sand blasting, oven drying, etc. Many operations of this kind can not be done manually without hazard to the operator.
The SSI Overhead can be combined with other types of conveyors to provide maximum efficiencies in automatic conveying and assembly systems. It can maintain a constant supply of parts to processing or assembly points, reduce stock room requirements, help keep inventories to a minimum, and remove accident hazards by keeping work areas clear.

A number of different types of floor conveyor are available depending on the load and operational mode. They have two things in common, namely, the cardan chain runs in a steel track and the load is positioned above the track. The floor conveyor is fitted on floor mounted pillars and the load can be rotated or indexed. The floor conveyor can be operated continuously or intermittently.

The conveyor ground Convoynort has 2 bunk rails, offering a great regularity of positioning time.
Furthermore the openings of the rails are turned down, thus protecting the chain, trolleys and avoids introduction of undesirable products.
