The LS Hybrid Linear Transfer System

Today’s linear transfer systems need to deliver three things: greater output, smaller batches, and more product versions. And they need to accomplish this in less space in tandem with new production technologies. This calls for assembly systems with greater performance, efficiency and dynamics – in addition to greater flexibility and minimal retooling times. Plus a compact design and scalability. LS HYBRID makes all of this possible. It may be only a small step up for the WEISS linear transfer system, but it’s driving a major revolution in assembly processes.

 

An alternative to rotary indexing tables, linear transfer systems allow for faster and easier scaling of production. This is particularly true with the highly configurable and modular LS Hybrid Linear Transfer System from WEISS. 

Developed with a “hybrid drive” concept in mind, the LS Hybrid offers integrated eCam, linear and belt drive options and is particularly effective where fast and efficient tooling carrier transport is required. With up to 60 cycles/min and 40 % shorter transport times, the LS Hybrid enables more processes to be performed in less space - resulting in a significantly smaller footprint and cycle time reductions.

 

 

The LS Hybrid optimizes a classic pallet transfer system with mechatronic and highly dynamic properties. This optimization provides a production line with more flexibility and efficiency since both the hybrid drive technology and the „Plug-&-Produce“ feature offer increased design freedom. In addition, the system allows the linear flow of the assembly process to have more processing capacity & capability due to the „hybrid productivity“ of the fast, high-precision tooling carrier.

Installation and configuration are quick and straightforward with the W.A.S. (WEISS Application Software) control package, eliminating the need for specific expertise or experience.  Superior to purely linear transfer systems with a rigid product flow & one-dimensional drive system, the LS Hybrid enables more advanced machine concepts to become a reality.

The LS Hybrid is a true flagship for modern assembly automation that delivers outstanding value in terms of economic, flexible & reliable performance.
