LS Hybrid Linear Transfer System

For more output and flexibility

The LS Hybrid transfer system optimizes a classic pallet transfer system with mechatronic and highly dynamic properties. These features add more flexibility and efficiency to production lines. WEISS will design the drive technology and plug & produce properties with variable design freedom in accordance with the customer application. In addition, the system allows a longitudinally timed flow assembly to have more process capability, which is ensured by fast, precise carrier transport.

Machine concepts that are superior to purely linear machines with a rigid product flow are now possible. This makes the LS Hybrid a poster child for modern assembly automation that works efficiently as an integrable transport platform and reaches new productive spheres.

Benefits

- Performance increase: 20% higher number of cycles
- Dynamics: 40% shorter transport times
- Modular principle: drive modules for any requirement
- Efficiency: more processes in less space
- Process reliability: fast workpiece transport with high process capability of the transfer system
- Pure customer orientation: demand-oriented investment
- Plug & Produce: fast commissioning of the system
