Transfer system

Transfer systems from Bosch Rexroth offer you economical transport solutions that can be scaled to suit almost any application.

All systems are modular in design. This ensures fast planning and allows existing systems to be easily expanded or converted. 

The flexible transfer systems – TS 1, TS 2plus, TS 5, the new TS 7 and the VarioFlow chain conveyor system – differ in dimensions and permissible payloads. They consist of standardized units that can be combined as required to form a system. This enables the design of numerous variants and results in customized systems, tailored to the respective assembly, testing or transport task. 

All systems are developed for Industry 4.0 and can be combined with Active Cockpit & ActiveAssist, for example, to support you on your way to a fully automated industry.

    The system for the solar industry

    Whether wafer-based solar modules or thin-film technology modules – production of these products is an extremely sensitive and complex process that consists of numerous processing steps, and also places the highest demands on material transport before, during, and after the individual processing stations.

    The glass plates are not only relatively large and extremely fragile, but also extremely sensitive to contamination. Bosch Rexroth has developed a special transfer system that takes these high demands into consideration and is characterized by a high level of cost-effectiveness.

    The production process for solar modules demands jolt and vibration-free transport without accumulation operation. To accomplish this, the conveyor sections are divided into short segments:

    • Depending on the respective module dimensions, the individual segments are usually two to three meters long, 0.6 to 1.5 meters wide, and are made of two to five tracks.
    • Each segment has its own drive.
    • The drive stops to position the module for processing, or if the following section segment is still occupied by another module.
    • Frequency converters ensure soft braking and accelerating.
    • The LTS lift transverse unit gently moves the modules from longitudinal sections to transverse sections.

        Advantages:

        • Permissible load: max. 120 kg
        • Individual systems can be implemented quickly and inexpensively
        • Gentle material flow
        • Slight corrections to the end position of the solar modules possible on the belt section
        • Transport of plates up to 160 °C
        • Can be implemented with up to 5 tracks, depending on the size of the solar panels

          A clean production environment is decisive when manufacturing modules, as

          this is the only way to ensure a uniformly high level of product quality. As a result, suitability for cleanrooms was at the forefront during the development of the TS 2pv and its associated components.
