Innovative End-of-Line
with Gebhardt
Together with our partner company GEBHARDT Fördertechnik GmbH , we have developed an exciting End-of-Line of innovative load securing systems and freely movable conveyor elements. Mosca's highly efficient KZV-321 pallet strapping machine and the SoniXs MS-6 H horizontal strapping machine, in combination with the Karis automated guided vehicle system from GEBHARDT, ensure that pallets of different heights are strapped and brought to suitable positions.
In the application, packages stacked on pallets are first secured horizontally by the SoniXs MS-6 H at different heights. An optional solid cardboard edge protector not only protects the product edges, but also creates an initial bond. The driverless transport system then transports the pallets of different heights to the KZV-321.
The tried-and-tested pallet strapping machine is equipped with two side units, an open strap frame and 6 movable tongues at three different heights. This allows users to flexibly strap single pallets of different heights as well as pallets stacked on top of each other - previously, the different strapping patterns for single and stacked pallets could only be achieved using two different machines. The driverless transport system alternately transports individual pallets or two pallets stacked on top of each other into the machine. The tongues then close the belt frame at the appropriate height and the KVZ-321 straps the package securely and positively. If two stacked pallets are placed in the machine instead of a single pallet, the strapping creates a bond between the two. To do this, the tongues of the KVZ-321 each pass through the wooden runners of the pallets. This means that the strapping does not lie directly on the actual product and users can use a higher strap tension without having to worry about damaging the product.
High flexibility
The use of driverless transport systems from GEBHARDT Fördertechnik GmbH contributes to the flexibility of the application: These move autonomously in the production environment based on map layouts and can drive around obstacles independently if necessary. They pick up packages fully automatically and can transfer them to subsequent stations at different heights using an integrated lifting system. Thanks to their interface and a mobile application, they can also be conveniently operated and ordered via end devices such as a tablet. Their performance can also be analyzed in this way.
