Y-systems

Compact. Flexible. Cost-effective.

Cost-effective standalone solutions with the flexibility to relocate

Y-conveyor systems are highly efficient and versatile conveying systems that are ideal for compact production areas and flexible manufacturing concepts. They enable targeted material flow between different workstations and can be optimally adapted to changing requirements.

Thanks to their design, these systems allow for various route configurations and enable processes to be connected flexibly. Y-conveyor systems offer a cost-effective yet high-performance alternative to more complex conveyor systems, particularly for stand-alone solutions or decentralized production areas.

Technical specifications:

  • Load capacity: 500–12,000 kg

  • Operation: manual or automated

  • Flexible routing and easy integration

  • Modular and expandable

Thanks to their robust construction, ease of use, and high adaptability, Y-conveyor systems are the ideal solution for companies that prioritize efficient, scalable, and cost-effective conveying technology.

System Overview

A Y-system is a conveyor system designed to distribute goods across two or more conveyor lines. It enables the targeted diversion of material flows.

Typical applications
  • Production lines
  • Sorting and Distribution Systems
  • Logistics and Shipping Departments
  • Assembly processes

Components

  • Conveyor lines with a Y-branch
  • Switch or deflection systems
  • Drive units
  • Sensors and Controls
  • Safety devices
Y-configurations allow for flexible distribution of material flows.

How it works

Goods are transported along a main route and distributed in different directions via a Y-junction.

  • automatic or manual point operation
  • precise redirection of the material being conveyed
  • Integration into control systems

System principle

  • Branching of conveyor lines
  • flexible material distribution
  • Automatic control is possible

Automatic mode

  • automatic control of the switches
  • continuous flow of materials
  • Sensor monitoring

Manual operation

  • for maintenance and setup
  • Manual control is possible
  • only by trained personnel

Safety Instructions

  • No intervention during operation
  • Keep hazard zones clear
  • Do not remove safety devices
  • Keep the emergency stop accessible at all times

Commissioning

  1. Check the system
