Transfer Systems

We utilize two primary forms of assembly transfer -- power-and-free systems, built around the Bosch Flexible Assembly conveyors, and rotary indexers built around NSK MegaTorque motors. Both technologies provide excellent reliability, fast cycle times, and high installed value.

Flexible Assembly Conveyors

  • Maximum flexibility -- easily reconfigured to add or delete processes after installation;
  • Multiple layouts available - rectangular, over/under, side-by-side...
  • Reusable;
  • Requires more floorspace than alternate styles;
  • Asynchronous.

Rotary Indexers

  • Small footprint;
  • Excellent speed and accuracy;
  • Limited task count on each indexer;
  • Harder to reconfigure once installed;
  • Synchronous;
  • May be linked to form multi-indexer systems.
In addition to these styles, Crux also uses alternate transfer systems, such as chain indexers, carousel indexers and walking beam systems.
