Transport: Safe and efficient component transportation

When transporting components and products within industrial processes, there are different requirements for the materials used. Heavy or heated components with sharp and abrasive edges often need to be transported safely without causing damage to the components or transport systems. Applications in the food industry have special requirements in terms of hygiene, material compatibility and process safety.

In addition, transportation processes often require high thermal shock resistance, for example in induction applications, as well as high temperature stability and mechanical robustness to ensure uninterrupted production.

As a reliable partner, Megatron AG offers solutions made of DOTHERM materials that have been specially developed for the demanding industrial transportation of components. These materials combine temperature resistance, wear resistance and mechanical stability and help to make transportation within manufacturing processes efficient and safe.

 

Applications and solutions for transportation processes

Settling plates for glass manufacturing processes

Depositing plates, cooling plates, pusher plates, cross belts, grippers and levers made of DOTHERM materials are manufactured for glass production and glass blowing machines. They enable safe depositing and handling of glass products at high temperatures and ensure reliable and damage-free processing.

Coated components for low-wear handling

Coatings on handling components significantly reduce friction and wear and improve chemical resistance. These coated components offer an extended service life and enable safe and gentle handling of components even with demanding media.

Slide rails for precise guidance and movement

Slide rails made of DOTHERM materials offer excellent sliding properties and reduce frictional wear on guideways and transport systems. They enable precise and low-wear movement of components and are used in particular in automated manufacturing processes to increase process stability.

Gripper fingers for sensitive components

Gripper fingers with specific contours are used to safely pick up, grip, transport or guide components. They are primarily used in electronics production and are designed to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces while ensuring stable positioning.

Hold-down device for stable fixation

Hold-down devices ensure the secure positioning of components during machining by holding them against a surface or contour. They are designed for applications where precision and process reliability are paramount.

Positioning pins for precise alignment

Positioning pins enable controlled, finely toleranced positioning of components and sheet metal parts during production. They make a significant contribution to increasing repeat accuracy and quality in series production.

Test plugs for electronics testing

Test plugs are made of various high-performance materials and are used for reliable 100% testing of automotive electronics. They are standard for leading manufacturers in the automotive industry and enable reliable and gentle handling of electronic assemblies during the test process.

Goods carriers for safe transportation

Goods carriers are used to safely transport and hold products such as printed circuit boards within production processes. They must be electrically insulating, resistant to temperature changes and wear-resistant in order to enable reliable and damage-free handling.

Workpiece carriers for series production

Workpiece carriers and workpiece holders ensure the exact positioning of components during series production, especially when welding, gluing, riveting or soldering. They are designed for high cycle rates and help to make processes efficient and stable.

Insulating components for plastic welding technology

During plastic welding, high temperatures are generated that need to be specifically insulated. Insulating components made from DOTHERM materials enable short cycle times by controlling the heat supply to the joining zone and at the same time ensuring process reliability through stable positioning of the components.

Handling technology - precision with every movement

In handling technology, the challenge often lies in the detail: even if components appear simple, they must be handled with repeat accuracy, positional stability and without any damage. This places the highest demands on the material used - it must be virtually wear-free, resistant to environmental influences and media, and must not leave any abrasion on the product.

High-performance ceramics are ideally suited to these requirements. Its hardness, dimensional stability and surface quality make it the preferred material for precision positioning applications.

Forming technology - maximum resistance for demanding processes

Forming technology, especially in metal processing, is one of the manufacturing processes with the highest demands on tools and components. When processing hard materials - such as form-hardened sheet metal - extreme mechanical stresses occur that quickly push conventional materials to their limits.

In addition, deposits and adhesions, such as aluminum on steel tools, often occur, which can further impair the service life and reproducibility of the processes.

Testing technology - reliability right down to the last plugging process

At the end of every manufacturing process is the test - crucial for quality and functionality. So-called end-of-line tests (EoL) are used in testing technology. The electronic or mechatronic component is contacted via a test plug, functions are checked, software is loaded or stress tests are carried out.

These testing processes often take place in three-shift operation, with tens of thousands of insertion cycles per day - the highest stress for every test component. This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff: only materials with extreme wear resistance and dimensional stability meet these requirements in the long term.
