Robust FMS pallet lines now even more powerful – Introducing FMS MAX

Workpiece pallets are transported on accumulation chain conveyors, ensuring a smooth and efficient material flow. The distance between the accumulation chains can be adjusted to match the pallet size defined for each individual project. This means the transport system can be optimally tailored to customers’ specific requirements and offers versatility across a broad range of industrial environments.

Pallets can be stopped using pneumatic or electrically controlled stops, available in various sizes and with damping. For automated processes with robots or machining centers, high-precision indexing and positioning units are available, offering excellent accuracy and repeatability.
