Twin Trolley System® (TTS)
In this new technology, the drives are not accommodated in
the trolleys but in the rail. This means that no on-board control
is required. In a further development, TTS is combined with
the Skillet technique.
Electric Monorail System (EMS)
Equally suited to use on pure conveying sections at
high speed and on work lines with adjustable speed.
Further strength of EMS is its quiet and
clean operation.
Vertical Adjusting Conveyor
Vertical Adjusting Conveyors by Dürr stand for precise adjusting
of height and maximum functionality. Its innovative belt technique allows minimized maintenance effort.
Power & Free
Exceedingly rugged and simple chain conveyors.
The scope of application of this conveyor comes to the fore
primarily where machining or processing operations do not
coincide timewise with materials flow.
Slat Conveyors
The convincing features of this conveyor are its
rugged chain drive and its high resistance to moisture,
dirt and high temperatures.

Conveyor Systems
System Elements
FASmatic®
FASmatic® is controlled by a high-capacity supervisory system
and operates with inductive energy and data transfer. On-board
batteries and pits are no more necessary and changes in the layout can be executed with minimized effort.
TTS inverted
TTS inverted is the floor guided version of the Dürr innovation
Twin Trolley System® (TTS). The form-fitting drive system
joins very high acceleration and exact positioning with
minimized spare parts.
Skillet
Skillets, optionally with integrated lifting device, allow an optimum
working level for each section. In touch with state-of-the-art part
logistics, it sets up the backbone of innovative "just in sequence"
production.
Belt Conveyor / Modular Chain Conveyor
As man movers and for vehicle body conveying, belt conveyors
are popular in final assembly. The modular chain conveyor is a
further development of the belt conveyor. It is insensitive against
dirt and requires low maintenance effort.
Skid Conveyor
Plant layouts in body, paint and final assembly shops
are no problem with skid conveyors. Thanks to modular design,
all material flow functions can be built in a flexible manner.

Transporting vehicle bodies
in the wet area
(leak test)
On slat conveyors, vehicle bodies are transported through
the body shop or vehicles are
transported through final assembly. Owing to the rugged
chain drive and the high resistance to moisture and dirt, this
system is ideally suited to welding areas in the body shop, the
car final area and leak test in
vehicle final assembly.
