ConTrax Assembly System - the “travelling workbench” - from a simple low cost solution for manual production, through its use in semi-automatic production right up to integration into fully-automatic, process-integrated assembly techniques.

The ConTrax assembly transport system employs an automated guided vehicle system which transports workpieces from one assembly station to the next during production. In this process, the workpieces are secured on a workpiece carrier where they remain during the entire work process. Optically guided C-shaped vehicles travel to the target assembly station with their open side facing the station.

Here, the float-mounted workpiece carriers are raised slightly by means of a height-adjustable cantilever table and centred with a high degree of precision. This means that no forces are exerted on the vehicle during this process and assembly can be carried out manually, semi or fully automatically with a high degree of precision.

The centrally controlled system is extremely flexible and removes the need for fixed links between individual workstations. When changing products, only the workpiece carrier is exchanged, and even the optical tracking can be changed in a matter of minutes.
