Assembly line

Automated cyclic assembly line for machine tool flow production

Many companies have been relying for some time on the production method of flow or cycle assembly to operate an efficient value creation in production. As a basis for this production method, the circular rail system waverail^® allows the ideal introduction to a railbound transport system with a clear structure in the assembly sequence.

Flow and cycle assembly results

Machine to human – no loss of time due to changing workstations
Half the installation time compared to fixed station assembly
Much simpler logistics, since employees only need each assembly or part at a single station
Mounting and testing devices are only kept available at one station
When changes are required, any new features must be introduced only at one station
Improved planning through fixed cycles
The fixed cycle brings problems to light immediately so that any required solutions are made
Significant increase in quality in the entire value chain, also due to repeatable work processes.
Employee specialisation increases work quality
On-schedule delivery thanks to exact cycle
Continuous improvement of the assembly sequence
