Transfer systems for manufacturing and assembly automation
Montech’s LT40 and LTE transfer systems are used to link manufacturing and assembly processes. They transport workpieces or workpiece carriers between individual workstations and support tasks such as feeding, unloading, buffering, separating, and positioning.
Depending on the application, the transfer systems can be combined with belt conveyors, roller conveyors, aluminum framing systems, and machine guarding. This helps with planning for new equipment and the extension of existing production lines.
