Overhead conveyors

Flexible overhead conveyors for picking, storage and production solutions

Today’s industry is characterized by a pace requiring rapid changes in production. It must be efficient, clean and quiet, with consistent and smooth transportation, whether it’s order picking, storage, assembly or manufacturing.

This means that pace-efficient, hanging conveyor solutions are required to be integrated into the assembly processes, enabling short lead times and the flexiblility to change. Furthermore, it is important that the entire production does not stop during any adjustments or if any errors occur (which is the case with chain driven conveyors). OCS overhead conveyors – built on our patented friction-based technology – meet all the requirements imposed on lean conveyor solutions with loads up to 7500kg and drive speed between 0,2 – 1,3 m/s.

Explore our overhead conveyor systems, designed to provide flexible and efficient solutions for picking, storage, and production needs – from agile light-duty systems to powerful heavy-duty solutions for heavier loads.

  1. Adjustable speed tailored to customer demands, considering takt time, line balance, etc.

  2. Depending on the surrondings – range can differ

  3. Power & Free: Production systems need buffer zones for even balance. The OCS overhead conveyors with Power & Free can buffer both on the driven track and at special buffer areas such as a robot station, loading and unloading.

 

Friction-Based Technology: OCS’s unique friction-based drive mechanism is a significant advantage, offering smooth, quiet, and clean operation compared to traditional chain-driven systems.
