FEATURE MATERIALS HANDLING & CONVEYING MODULAR CONVEYOR SYSTEM KEEPS IT QUIET
Bosch Rexroth has launched its latest conveyor system VarioFlow Plus in a bid to dramatically reduce production line specification and installation times for machine builders and end users. Designed to meet the demands of
modern production the modular system is fully adaptable and quick and easy to install to better help manufacturers accommodate the need for smaller product batches, more frequent product changes and reduce time to market. Utilising improved sliding characteristics and low friction materials, the conveyor system is the quietest on the market. In addition, fewer joints and less rolling friction in the curves minimises wear, reduces energy consumption, increases efficiency and reduces the potential for downtime. To simplify the planning and
specification of production lines Bosch Rexroth provides MTpro planning software with Layout Designer. This allows machine builders and end users to easily design complex multi-conveyor and workstation systems with clear component specifications in a cross- platform CAD format. MTpro provides load calculation reports of the designed conveyors and anthropometric information for
ergonomic consideration where operators interact with workplace solutions. “With VarioFlow Plus we’re using latest production line technologies and Bosch Rexroth patented solutions to create a system that’s easy to install and fully adaptable for future modifications”, says product manager for conveyor technologies Jonathan Wright. “By ensuring that it is the quietest conveyor on the market we’re aiming to improve
The VarioFlow Plus modular conveyor system can be fully adapted to meet manufacturers’ changing requirements
the production environment as well as helping manufacturers meet increasingly stringent noise level regulations.” The Rexroth VarioFlow Plus chain conveyor consists of components that can be used universally for all system widths including the new 120 mm track width. The stable chain permits tensile forces of up to 1,250 N while the near- closed chain surface allows even the smallest of parts to be transported safely and reliably. This system offers individual conveyor layouts and comes in six sizes and two material options: a basic aluminium version and an FDA compliant stainless steel version for sectors that require high hygiene demands such as food processing. Bosch Rexroth offers a work-piece
pallet system for the Varioflow Plus, enabling the system to be configured for transporting components in a product assembly environment. Various traffic control elements allow for the pallets to be held accurately at build stations and directed to and from individual conveyor tracks.
