Dürkopp Fördertechnik offers solutions which are designed for the in-plant logistics in the automotive industry for the transport of products weighing up to 100 kg.
We provide conveyor systems that range from simple manual transport lines to automated conveyor and sorting systems. Our systems are utilised in the automatic JIT sequencing of parts, among other things, to deliver parts to the assembly line. Adjustment of the goods carrier to the special requirements of any given task is all that is needed. With our solutions parts can be transported or held in buffers and stored between the individual production processes.

Process flow
The unfinished parts are placed in the welding unit manually. After the welding process, a robot removes the finished parts and hangs them on the goods carrier. This is positioned automatically by the conveyor equipment. The parts are left to cool down in the adjacent buffer area until they are removed.
Unloading
Finally, a worker unloads the finished seat frames.One system for a multitude of solutions
Time-tested technology and standardised systems ensure that the functions of processing, transport and buffering can all be realised. Systems such as manually operated slick rails, Power&Free conveyors sowie circular conveyors with fixed pushers are all available for this purpose.
Standard goods carriers are modified to meet the individual needs of each application.
The Dürkopp Phaeton
The close link between Dürkopp Fördertechnik and the automotive industry has its roots in history: It was as early as 1910 that the Phaeton left the Dürkopp factory and set off on its automobile way in a world where roads were still largely unpaved.
