overview

We have introduced AGVs to supply parts from the warehouse to each production line. By installing a conveyor on top of this AGV, it has become possible to automatically transfer the transported items.

WinCS mini is used for the conveyor mounted on the AGV. The conveyor uses Plastic modular chain, making maintenance easier.


Problem

When the conveyor on the AGV is a roller conveyor, if the bottom of the plastic box being transported swells over time, the installation surface becomes smaller and the rollers are no longer able to spin freely.

Additionally, it was anticipated that belt conveyors would require a lot of labor for maintenance.


Adopted products

Top chain unit WinCS mini

Since WinCS mini is a standardized conveyor, no design is required and the conveyor can be arranged simply by selecting the model number.

This can solve problems that arise when using belt conveyors, such as time-consuming maintenance and frequent replacement due to short lifespan.


Benefits of adopting the product

By adopting a conveyor that uses Plastic modular chain, we have achieved stable transport and reduced maintenance work compared to roller conveyors and belt conveyors.


Tsubaki will do its utmost to support you in solving any problems you may have.
