FLEXIBILITY

Virtually unlimited flexibility is the major advantage TGW tote and carton conveyor systems bring. This fundamental winning factor results from the multifunctional modular construction of TGW systems. It creates solutions that are the fastest and most efficient at work anywhere. Peak performance values are achieved by the concentrated application of high-performance technologies. Modular and standardised construction also means top scores in the vital business issues reliability and cost efficiency. Our individual customer requirement profile is always the central point when we develop our tote and carton conveyor systems. A competitive edge in this business depends on creating a precise solution to a unique requirement. Our relentless aim in every single project is to make a real contribution to the commercial success of our customers on a scale and quality unequalled anywhere. Because customer value is our success. TGW system quality can only be achieved by the sheer unlimited dedication of our team. Analysis and planning are the special variables in this equation of commitment; these two elements are the foundation of an outstanding logistics line. We develop and implement unique material flow systems for our customers, because we never lose sight of our single-minded aim - creating value for our customers. Permanent innovation in TGW tote and carton conveyor systems brings new and optimised performance values every time we create a new plant. This means your future is built into each and every line we produce. An integrated non-variable parts concept, flexible in performance, accumulation pressure-free buffering, optimal transfer systems, ergonomic and unique design and low maintenance requirements, to name only a few of the most important features of our totally innovative work. The result: TGW tote and carton conveyor systems are a byword for extraordinary system flexibility and performance that is altogether outstanding. The customer advantage is enormous - its name: progressive costs reduction.

INTERFACE

Highly dynamic material flows characterize every modern tote and carton materials handling plant. This is the reason why the ergonomic design of workplaces is such an important efficiency factor. The complex ergonomic requirements of a picking zone make it a very special challenge. Gripping times are reduced as a result of well-tuned concepts, resulting in a significant efficiency increase for the dynamic processes. The clear arrangement of the functions in an optimal field of view cuts reaction times even further. All efficient, ergonomic solutions have a pleasant bonus effect, they increase the well-being of employees. TGW ergonomic solutions are flexible and can be adjusted to suit every situation. Whether for vertical and horizontal reach or the positioning of controls and regulating elements. Our systems are built to meet the endless complexity of human needs. Movement and energy expenditure are pared to a minimum, slashing error rates. The TGW safety principles do not just aim at avoiding downtime, we also seek to stop errors from happening in the human working process directly at the interface with the machine. It goes without says that this is a further valuable efficiency boost. A 100% safety has equal top priority both for machine staff and the operator company. That is why safety is such an important issue for TGW, especially in the design of picking zones. The risk of catching or being drawn in by pulling and carrying mechanisms is ruled out. Danger areas between moving and stationary parts, with the risk of injury on drive roller lines, are done away with altogether. Emergency stop switches are fitted as a standard feature while all contact surfaces to wood, plastic and cushioning areas are valorised. Better haptics always result in better performance.

Parts Description:

#1 Roller Conveyor Multi

The Roller Conveyor Multi has been optimised to transport the most varied tote and carton types. The multifunctionality that is its essence results from its potential of being either completely or partly fitted with electro-mechanical or mechanical accumulation modules, independent of performance or transported goods. These accumulation modules can also be retrofitted at any time. The Roller Conveyor Multi is the ideal device for highly dynamic requirements coupled with the most careful handling of the transported goods. It offers an efficient, top-value accumulation function to very the highest standards.

#2 Belt Conveyor

The Belt Conveyor is characterised by careful and extremely low-noise conveying. It can be used with either a head drive or a central drive depending on its length. The Belt Conveyor can deal with slopes and inclines of up to 18 ? and of course, it conveys even the smallest transported goods.

#3 Strap Conveyor Multi

The two tracks of the Strap Conveyor Multi convey totes and cartons with sagging bottom surfaces. Extremely careful conveying extends the service life of the load carriers while also providing very low noise levels. The Strap Conveyor Multi owes its multifunctionality to storing positions that can also be added on later.

#4 Curved Roller Conveyor

The Curved Roller Conveyor is fitted with precisely tapered conical rollers, ensuring the precise running in and out of totes and cartons. The flat strap drive used with this device also ensures quiet operation. The Curved Roller Conveyor offers first class curve conveying at a low cost.

#5 Feeder / Run-Off Curved Roller Conveyor

Totes and cartons can be transferred on a conveyor section arranged in parallel or at right angles using the Feeder/Run-off Curved Roller Conveyor or transferred from them while maintaining the same alignment.

#6 Strap Output System

The Strap Output System achieves the highest nodal point performance of up to 2000 load carriers per hour by means of the "flying" transfer of totes and cartons on conveyor sections arranged at right angles. The number of straps can be varied flexibly as chosen, making it suitable for various transported goods sizes. The Strap Output System also offers an extremely careful transfer with the lowest noise emission.

#7 Strap Offset

The Strap Offset is used for transferring up to 1700 load carriers per hour at right angles on parallel running conveyors. This high nodal performance is achieved through an "on the fly" transfer. The transfer is very safe, gentle and quiet despite its extremely high speed. The Strap offset complies with the most demanding safety requirements, making it very well suited for workstation use.

#8 Z-Conveyor

The continuously running Z-Conveyor conveys up to 1500 items per hour vertically with elevation differences of up to 11 m. Rigid backed carrier grids can handle a variety of transported goods from one horizontal conveyor system to another horizontal conveyor system at the opposite end of the Z-Conveyor.

#9 Pop-Up Output System

The Pop-up Output System provides a secure and low-noise transfer even when there are only small gaps between totes and cartons. It achieves a top performance of up to 4500 units per hour and provides a great value solution with the added value of simple control requirements.

#10 Stacker

The Stacker is used to stack and/or unstack totes. The mechanism is adjusted to the tote type in use. Handling totes of various heights poses no problem whatsoever.

More Details

The outstanding overall performance achieved by TGW tote and carton conveyor systems is the sum of the details. Our multifunctional system is the result of our principle of implementing individually perfect lines. A few details are given below of TGW engineering attention to detail:

The Electromechanical Accumulation Module

Delivers high performance where other systems fail. It is the basis of roller conveyor multifunctionality. More than this it is quieter, more compact and reliable and lower on energy consumption.

Multiple Track Strap-Technology

Flexible use for various tote and carton sizes. A powerful system for universal application with hand-over stations, picking zones and transfer devices.

Integrated Lateral Guide

Keeps availability at the highest level. Form follows function is implemented in the design.

Flat Strap Drive

The only complete flat strap drive system, it slashes maintenance costs. This intelligent simple system is significantly quieter and safer.
