Industrial Overhead Conveyor Systems

Overhead Conveyors for Industrial Processes

ALWO overhead conveyor systems move parts and subassemblies between preparation, assembly and finishing operations while keeping the production floor clear. Each system is engineered for repeatable manufacturing in metalworking, woodworking, automotive and other controlled-flow applications.

The modular pressed-and-welded steel track can include horizontal sections, inclines, declines and successive changes of direction. Its length and geometry are defined around the process stations, such as assembly, surface preparation, paint application, curing, drying or cooling.

Available configurations

manual movement or powered drive;

automation ranging from simple controls to process-coordinated operation;

position sensors and adjustable conveying speed;

branches for transfer or unloading;

devices for rotating, lifting and decoupling parts;

load carriers designed for the product geometry and weight.

Process benefits

repeatable flow between workstations;

efficient use of available factory space;

smooth transport with fewer intermediate handling steps;

integration of several operations along one route.

Every system is engineered to order. Load per carrier, carrier pitch, hourly throughput, speed, route gradients, process temperatures and safety devices are defined for the application.
