Family of accumulating conveyors is growing│ Precision rotary table TGC 1200│ U-clamp replaces V-clamp │ Electric mini clamp

Our proven family of AFS accumulating conveyors, one of the leading suppliers of pallet accumulating conveyors, has recently been expanded. New system solutions provide for increased flexibility by allowing to convey around the corner, integrating bend elements and lifts and overcoming gradients. One special highlight is the accumulating conveyor without pressurized air featuring electric actuators and stopping points. The patented pallet coupling is another option which not only reduces the number of stopping points, but also the power required – contributing to energy efficiency in conveyor technology where motors often run permanently -  day and night.

We congratulate TUNKERS Inc. on its 20th anniversary!

Skid AGVs replace stationary roller conveyors in truck manufacturing

A plant manufacturing trucks in South America has decided to use skid AGVs instead of stationary roller conveyor belts. The skid AGVs delivered by our partner Sinova accommodate the entire car body and take it to the individual roller conveyor stations as required. The video attached gives a short impression.

The chain is the centrepiece of the AFS accumulating conveyor. This simple and robust drive element has been tried and tested in several thousands of applications of TÜNKERS/APM systems used in body-in-white assembly. And, by the way, most competitors use this technology as well.

TÜNKERS has been manufacturing electric vehicles for more than 30 years now. However, these vehicles were geared for rehabilitation and airport logistics, and not for the automotive industry.

The Clever Clamp Calculator – or c³ – is a tool that assists design engineers in finding the right system design.
As a matter of fact, c³ includes three tools. Tool One and Two help you select the right pin retractor and clamp sizes in relation to the component, clamping task, etc.
