Internal transport system for refrigerator doors
Loading, Transport, Power & Free Buffering for output to the final assembly line for the refrigerator.
Today’s industry is characterized by high pace and demands to be able to quickly re-organise its production with, for example, new workstations. Furthermore, it needs be efficient, clean and quiet.
Therefore, conveyor solutions for modern industry that demonstrate lean must be flexible, easy to maintain and able to communicate with machines such as robots, screwdrivers and superior process systems. The conveyor systems should also be modular to quickly expand or change with minimal disruption of daily production.
The solutions should also be clean and quiet to meet both technical and human requirements. With the OCS patented overhead conveyors solution – based on friction instead of space-intensive and inflexible chain or the more expensive EMS Electric Monorail system – all requirements are achieved for smooth, quiet and clean moving.
Of course, we also offer traditional floor conveyors for handling pieceware.
Loading, Transport, Power & Free Buffering for output to the final assembly line for the refrigerator.
Integrated OCS systems throughout the production chain. From the sewing area, onwards to upholsery / assembly station, and finally packing. By implementing the OCS system, the time to produce a sofa is reduced from 17 days to 1 day!
Complete fully automated system for production of latex mattresses. Here you can see the benefits of having the mattresses hanging and utilizing the surface upside down instead of transporting lying. The mattresses are turned on and off automatically at special stations. The systems are installed in two factory buildings and in trailers for transport from production to storage. Specially designed roundabouts sort out the type of mattress in batches before further transport for unloading to a pallet.
Complete system for picking, transporting, buffering and assembly of motors and steering box for garage doors. In a central warehouse, all items are picked and placed in a specially designed product carrier, which is also used as an assembly table. After picking, the carts accumulate in a buffer before further transport to an available mounting station. During assembly, the operator picks the parts from the carrier and assembles them according to the specification. All materials are in the cart so no other material needs to be located at the stations. After assembly, the carriage goes on for testing and finally lifted it off for packing.
Complete assembly line for lawn mowers. Three separate floor conveyors where the complete construction of lawn mowers takes place, they finally arrive in the packing zone.
OCS has delivered an art display machine to The Modern Museum in Stockholm.
The Modern Museum, like all other museums, needs the art to be accessible and easy to present. Most artworks are kept in archives and are picked up and hung when required for viewing.
In the display magazine you can order artwork by using a specialized machine that transports the artwork to the visitor. The premises also hold a number of research places. The display magazine also acts as a platform for the research projects that The Modern Museum conducts on exhibitions, individual art and other research fields.
Complete assembly line for ride on mowers. There are 32 stations in which the operators assemble the mower cutters from the chassis frame to the finished product. The system has continuous propulsion and, with the help of the unique product carriers, the operator can raise, lower and rotate the product to obtain the best ergonomic environment for assembly. At the reload station, the ride on mower is placed on a conveyor belt and transported through a test area where all functions are tested (start, stop, brake, etc.) After testing, the ride on mower passes a quality check where rework can be completed before arriving at the packing station.
Order-driven production layout to produce reclining chairs. Several integrated OCS systems are used throughout the production process; foaming, buffering, punching, sewing, upholsery, assembly and packing. The end-customer’s production is significantly improved by minimizing material transport and ensuring that all material is included throughout the assembly process.
Combined driven and manual system to produce hot tubs. With the help of the unique product carriers, the operator can raise / lower, rotate and tilt the spa bath to achieve an ergonomic environment during assembly. All handling is therefore safe and controlled and the risk of quality problems in the management is minimized. The end-customer increased its production by 100% through implementation of the system.
Raw materials such as frame, glass, cardboard and hardboard are placed in the OCS product carrier and then transported with the OCS 500 system to unloading stations. A robot picks raw material from the OCS product carrier and place’s it on a conveyor belt where final assembly takes place.
The OCS 500 system is structured in sections to easily mount in different performances. The system has, amongst other things, been used to transport artists on during stage show performances in Switzerland.
Packaging materials for food are collected in bundles and placed in a product carrier. In the food production environment, pallets may not be suitable for hygiene reasons. The OCS trolley is transported to adjacent premises where a pallet is placed underneath and finally the bundles of packaging material are pushed onto the pallet which is transported on a floor conveyor.
A system for transporting and buffering trolleys containing 32 baking trays for bread / buns. The process starts at the automatic loading station, then through the proving process. The stroller is lifted from the OCS trolley and the products are baked in the oven, then back to be re-hung on the OCS trolley. Further it transports through refrigeration and freezing tunnel and ends with automatic relieving for transport to packing. A hanging transport system has created free floor space allowing exemplary hygiene as now cleaning is much easier.
Fully automatic system for manufacturing of safety shoes. Batches of material are placed on a specially designed product carrier that is automatically transported between different workstations. At each workstation assembly takes place and finally, a complete shoe is ready for unloading, and the empty trolley returns to order start.
A combined manual and automated system where operators place material at order launch on the product carrier. The trolleys are automatically transported to an available workstation where stitching and assembly occur, then on to an automatic buffer on top of an entrance sol system and finally delivery down to packing.
Fully automated system for handling, buffering, burn-in control and finally visual inspection of flat screen displays. The product carrier is powered with power rails and contains a PC with software that controls the display’s function, pixels, resolution, etc. Handling display hanging over traditional palettes takes considerably less space and allows the operator to access free floor space.
A portal robot that picks up wooden details for stairs and place it on a transfer trolley, which in turn transports the bundle to floor conveyors. Another portal robot picks up a bundle and place’s it on a hanging conveyor that transports to a rough grinding and milling machine. The plant demonstrates an outstanding combination of hanging and floor conveyors in production.
An automated system of advanced product carriers transporting textile machines through a number of assembly stations, function control and finally lifting pallets. The product carrier manages a load weight up to 850 kg and is height-adjustable.
OCS has delivered many systems for sewing processes, including trolleys that handle single-piece or batch textiles. For example, in a furniture factory all material is transported and buffered by pruning, sewing and finally for assembly. The product carriers are lifted from the OCS trolley and transported manually in the process of later re-hanging on the OCS trolley.
