Modular multi-ring system for flexible supply of workstation

摘要

The present invention refers to an automated system for handling and distribution of products in its manufacturing process and to a multi-ring modular system with an overtaking system allowing to supply in a flexible and automated manner the workstations, allowing the simultaneous products manufacturing with several operative ranges without having throttling or productivity losses. The system is based in a modular frame ( fig. 1 ), comprising curve modules (1), workstation modules (2), straight modules (3 and 8), transfer modules (4), association station modules (5), pallets (6), interconnection between sections modules (7), and a set of complementary components, all incorporated in an articulated form between them. All the system is further controlled and managed by computer software and a programmable automated robot that assures the automated movement and distribution of the products running in the several workstations.
