Flexible conveyor system for automatic product alignment

The challenge

RTM Ratiotechnik Milde GmbH specializes in the development and production of precision components for various industries. This German company was faced with the task of correctly aligning up to 15 different products with greatly varying length-width ratios on a conveyor belt. The challenge here: The parts are rotated 90 degrees and placed on the belt conveyor, and within a very short conveying distance, they must be put into position automatically. It was not possible to use pneumatic rotating units or other actuators. In addition, a product change should be possible at any time – without any retrofitting or adjustment work.

The solution

In close cooperation with RTM, Montech developed an inclined conveyor belt with a stable base and a flexibly adjustable side guide. After a thorough feasibility analysis, we adapted the solution precisely to RTM's requirements. The delivery included a detailed 3D model and an electrical interface description. This made integration with the existing production environment very smooth. We delivered the conveyor technology ready for installation – completely pre-assembled, tested, and ready for immediate operation.
