Features and Benefits

  • The Trac monorail features a precision-extruded, anodized aluminum rod, combining robustness with long-lasting durability.
  • TracSwitch, TracSwitch Arena, and TracSwitch Crossing guide shuttles in multiple directions
  • TracLift enables vertical transport between levels
  • TracCurves allow smooth shuttle movement of 90° and 45° without shocks.
  • FlexTrac enables diagonal movement at angles of up to 10° within a montrac® transport system
  • The TracDoor allows passage through a montrac® line or access to manual workstations within the line.
  • The PositioningUnit is used for precise shuttle positioning and/or to support the platform during machining operations.

    • Highlights

    • Fully ESD-compliant – all standard components meet the requirements of DIN EN 61340-5-1

    • With overhead installation, shuttles can travel above production lines at ceiling level, ensuring optimal use of floor space

    • Different lines or stations at varying heights can be seamlessly connected, providing maximum layout flexibility

    From 45° to 180° – TracCurve guarantees smooth changes of direction

    In the montrac® transport system, changes in direction of the Tracs by 90° or 45° are achieved by the TracCurve. When passing through a TracCurve, no shocks are exerted on the shuttles.

    • The cross-section of the TracCurve is identical to that of the TracSwitch.
    • Two 90° TracCurves can be used to construct a 180° curve.
    • The TracCurve R520 is used under certain special conditions, e.g., for heavy products and extremely high vibration sensitivity.

    Safe, flexible, compliant with regulations—routing even in front of emergency exits

    The TracDoor allows passage through a montrac® line or access to manual workstations within the line. It is designed for passage by at least one person or a maximum of one small forklift truck (single and double versions of the TracDoor). The principle of a TracDoor is very simple. The door is attached to a pivot point and can be opened manually. When closing, the door is rotated to the stop and can be locked manually.

    Vertical material flow for maximum layout flexibility

    The lift reliably transports shuttles vertically – ideal for connecting systems on different levels or moving shuttles between stations and deck systems. This allows you to connect two or more systems that operate at different heights.

    Processing directly on the shuttle – also with robots

    The PositioningUnit fixes and centers shuttles with millimeter precision at machining stations and manual workstations. Thanks to its stable construction, it absorbs the forces exerted by robots, allowing workpieces to be machined safely directly on the shuttle.

    • Forces of up to 4,000 N
    • Positioning accuracy of ± 0.02 mm
    • The PositioningUnit is available for single and multiple positioning
    PositioningUnit PU with a robot arm demonstrating how the unit absorbs the robot’s forces and keeps the shuttle stable.
