Abstract / Description | The present invention refers to an automated system that manoeuvres and distributes products during the manufacturing process . The systems consists of a modular multi-ring system with a system for overtaking. This means that workstations can be supplied in a flexible and automated manner making it possible to manufacture products withe several operational ranges simultaneously without causing blockages or loss of productivity. The system is based on a modular structure including curve modules, workstation modules, straight modules, transfer modules, association station modules, pallets, modules to connect sections and a set of complementary components, each connected and integrated. The whole system is controlled and managed by computer software and a programmable automated robot that controls the automated movement and distribution of the products heading to the various workstations. |
