PRESSESERVICE

LOSYCO has implemented new assembly lines for excavator and wheel loaders in the German plant of YANMAR CE, one of the world’s leading construction machinery manufacturers. The LOXrail transport system features floor-level rails with a 25-mm shaft diameter for payloads up to 20 tons. The plant layout with three corners posed a particular challenge. Previously installed rails required extra effort, in that the loaded trolleys had to be coupled to a special towing device in order to navigate any of the curves. To improve upon this, LOSYCO installed three motorized, sensor-controlled turntables, which interface directly with the rails and allow smooth maneuvering around corners. As another innovation, LOSYCO introduced separate lines for the excavator undercarriages and superstructures, which significantly facilitates handling. A newly installed rail-guided transverse shuttle allows staff to manually unite both modules for final assembly. Lifting platforms integrated into the route with sensor-controlled end position detection ensure safe and precise transition when the construction machines are lifted from the rails at the end of the assembly line in order to mount the wheels. “A major advantage of the new rail system is its low friction. Therefore, the machines can be easily pushed from one station to the next by hand. Built-in maneuvering elements such as turntables and the shuttle ensure efficient, safe work processes and reduce the physical strain on our employees,” says YANMAR plant manager Stefan Rückartt.

At the LogiMAT exhibition from 19 to 21 March, in Stuttgart, Germany, LOSYCO (booth 7/A51) will present a selection of its diverse LOXrail-based solutions for heavy-duty transport in production, loading and material logistics. The German manufacturer will showcase customer-specific application examples and innovative system components. The LOXrail technology allows for easy, energy-saving and cost-efficient transportation of loads weighing several tons. The company implements LOXrail layouts in various expansion stages and with different degrees of automation to optimally meet the requirements of diverse applications from heavy-duty transport in mechanical and plant engineering to precision feeding welding cells and laser cutting systems. In addition, the LOXrail system is suitable for transporting heavy loads in warehousing. Multiple expansion options from lifting and lowering platforms to heavy-duty weigh stations allow for flexible adaptions to specific production requirements. Branching assembly lines can be realized with crossings and turntables for an unhindered production flow and easy re-routing of semi-finished products. Drive systems can optionally be installed under the floor, with inductive power supply and sensor-based position detection. The LOSYCO team is looking forward to welcoming visitors to the booth and discussing their intra-logistics requirements and customized solutions.

LOSYCO, a specialist in rail-based intra-logistics and feeding systems, has laid five floor-level LOXrail tracks for a German machine manufacturer’s two assembly lines. A newly developed transport solution allows the transport system to be adapted to three different track widths: a telescopic axis connects two customized carriers with a 1.5-ton payload, each featuring two double-roller wheelsets. This enables variable transport setups for machines with different dimensions. Loads are directly positioned on the carriers, which feature a rubberized contact surface. For example, machines can be placed on a two-axes combination and manually pushed from one assembly station to the next. Larger machines can be transported using all three tracks and four carrier combinations alternately positioned on different tracks. The carriers can be designed for payloads up to 5 tons for even more enhanced flexibility and scalability of the LOXrail system, which has already proven itself worldwide in various applications for optimized production logistics, material flow and machine feeding across all industries. The floor-level rail system ensures barrier-free access on the shop floor for staff, mobile racks and pallet jacks.

The intra-logistics specialist LOSYCO has expanded its LOXrail system, adding a new automatic trolley with a rotating loading platform for flexible orientation of heavy workpieces directly on rails. This solution, which has already been successfully implemented in a machine factory, increases flexibility in assembly line layouts and simplifies the adaptation of the rail transport system to existing production lines and floor plans. The new trolley can be realized in different dimensions according to customer requirements. It enables manual or motor-driven rotation and orientation of payloads up to 10 tons. Application areas include laser and robot welding cells, measuring machines, feeding systems and other production systems requiring highly precise positioning and easy access to workpieces. The turntables can be powered via drives installed at the respective work stations or onboard drives fed via cable, energy guiding chain, battery or induction. LOSYCO is thus expanding its adaptable range of LOXrail-based transport systems for production logistics, material flow and machine loading and unloading, which ranges from manually moved trolleys to shuttles and transport platforms with sensor-controlled automatic braking to versions with mechanical or semi-automatic steering.

The German intra-logistics expert LOSYCO has expanded its LOXrail heavy-duty transport system, adding a new generation of AllRounder platform, now featuring semi-automatic steering. Unique among the solutions for intra-logistics rail transport, the new AllRounder keeps the payload on the same height level as it is re-oriented. The steering platform features a battery-powered servomotor that automatically re-positions the wheelsets as required. The steering is controlled via three buttons on the platform for 90° left or right turns or 180° rotation. Designed for payloads up to 15 tons, the AllRounder can run on LOXrail tracks with shaft diameter of either 25 mm or 40 mm. Its low height ensures ergonomic handling and easy loading, assembly and transport in one-piece flow production lines. The novel steering system saves time-consuming extra work for the installation of switches or turntables in the hall floor. Even with branching lines, it now suffices to firmly anchor LOXrail tracks and simple crossing elements in the floor. Thus, the entire intra-logistics rail system can be flexibly planned and efficiently implemented, even with complex track layouts, while the elimination of moving components in the hall floor makes it a particularly low-wear and low-maintenance solution.

LOSYCO has expanded its range of services for heavy-duty production logistics: the intra-logistics specialist now also designs and installs customer-specific feeding systems for setup areas and material loading. The new solutions based on the LOXrail floor rail system allow for precise positioning of bulky parts and heavy materials on motor-driven or manually operated platforms with payloads of several tons. The system allows for fully automatic material feeding through interfacing with the plant control system. Applications that demand increased precision, such as laser cutting systems, welding cells or measuring portals, can be equipped with leveling points and limit switches for maximum repeatability. The manufacturer adapts the rail layout to the individual plant or production line for optimal use of space with a large loading capacity. Optionally, rotating platforms, crossings and changes of direction can be implemented for better accessibility of semi-finished products. For high throughput in limited space, the manufacturer can also design special upper and lower carriages with different loading heights and track widths in order to transport raw materials and finished parts independently of each other on the same line. LOSYCO’s scalable feeding systems enable tailor-made solutions for on-point material provision and safe loading and unloading of heavy and large-format workpieces. The floor-level rails pose no obstacles for employees or pallet jacks. The LOSYCO brochure “Loading and unloading with Loxrail®” is available for download at https://www.losyco.com/en/media-library.

Intra-logistics specialist LOSYCO has realized a new production line with intelligent process control for a construction machinery manufacturer. For continuous production data acquisition, LOSYCO equipped all stations with networked operator terminals and implemented a central control and evaluation unit with visualization and an MES interface. There, events triggered at the stations by pushbutton input are registered and evaluated – cycle prompts, help requests in the event of material shortage or assembly requirements, and emergency stops. Based on these comprehensive data, the construction machinery manufacturer can optimize the performance of the entire line through targeted process control by efficiently coordinating start, cycle and break times, and organizing the station-related tasks according to how much time each takes. Problems and interruptions of the process flow can be identified early on and corrected, for example, by reassigning tasks or readjusting the quality of components and manufacturing and logistics processes. Designed with 12 workstations on a total length of 165 m, the line can be expanded to up to 17 cycles. It has a maximum towing capacity of 170 tons. Assemblies weighing several tons are placed on special transport platforms running on floor-level rails. A special drag system consisting of tie rods and a chain conveyor moves the transport platforms from station to station. A chain conveyor with a cycle length of 10.15 meters is installed at the end of the line.

LOSYCO will showcase innovative solutions for intra-logistics, material flow and machine loading at the LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany, 25 – 27 April 2023, Hall 7, Stand F41. Co-presenting with the mechanical engineering supplier DRECKSHAGE at a completely redesigned booth, the German intra-logistics specialist will exhibit new developments and completed applications for one-piece flow production and precision feeding based on its LOXrail floor-level rail transport system. LOSYCO’s trade fair premieres include a newly developed automatic trolley with an integrated turning function and a compact version of the successful LOXrail AllRounder. The steerable AllRounder trolley is designed for payloads up to 15 tons and allows workpieces and assemblies to be aligned and rotated without lifting them off the trolley. It is offered with either a mechanical steering system mounted on the underside of the carrier or semi-automatic steering. Additional trade fair highlights will be demos of various applications implemented by LOSYCO for material feeding and flow production. One model shows the production line recently set up for an excavator and wheel loader manufacturer with customized trolleys and turntables integrated in the floor. Another example is taken from modular timber housing construction: the trolleys carrying the building modules are moved to a parallel production line on a cross-shuttle installed in the concrete floor. The third model will be a high-precision loading system designed for a laser welding booth, consisting of trolleys with lifting function, which can be equipped for manual operation or with auxiliary drives and a control system. The LOSYCO team is looking forward to welcoming visitors to the booth and discussing their intra-logistics requirements and customized solutions.

LOSYCO will present innovative intra-logistics and material feeding solutions at the LogiMAT trade fair (Stuttgart, Germany, 31 May – 2 June 2022, Hall 7, Stand D37). The German manufacturer will demonstrate the latest additions to its LOXrail transport system. A new version of the AllRounder steering platform enables an electrically controlled change of direction, rotation and alignment of payloads up to 15 tons on the rails, without the need to hoist transported goods. A battery-powered servomotor aligns the wheelsets. Users can switch to straight or sideways travel or a 180° about-turn at the push of a button. Another novelty on show will be the fully automatic SmartBrake module with sensor-based obstacle detection. The sensors cause the platform to automatically stop when people or objects block the track. Sensors at the rear detect the step pattern and activate the brake as soon as the operator stops pushing. Both detection methods reliably activate the brake even with protruding loads. They automatically switch functions when the direction of travel is reversed. In addition, LOSYCO will present a new way of re-routing empty rail-based trolleys and transport platforms and returning them to the start of a production line off the rails, without the use of forklifts or pallet trucks. A team of experts will inform visitors to the LogiMAT booth about the wide range of applications and configuration options of the LOXrail system. They are looking forward to discussing customer-specific best ways to approach production logistics, material flow, flow production and feeding systems.

ntra-logistics specialist LOSYCO has developed a new two-story trolley concept for automatic loading and unloading of heavy parts, based on its LOXrail transport system. Two double-track LOXrail 25 lines, each 25 meters in length, provide high feeding capacities on a small footprint. Two types of trolleys using different tracks and one fitting under the other can travel on the floor-level rails independent of each other. They can overtake each other, allowing for maximum flexibility in feeding raw material into the manufacturing cell and unloading processed panels. The four trolleys have a payload of 6.5 tons each. The upper trolleys had to be additionally reinforced to accommodate for such heavy loads; this was challenging because of the space constraints due to the raised design. In addition, their surfaces were fitted with cutouts for easier access to the transported parts. For a drive solution that requires minimal space, Losyco mounted geared motors on the wheelsets. These are powered via covered energy-guiding chains. The trolleys are integrated in the plant control system for exact coordination of the loading procedures and the handling portal. Upon reaching the end position, they send a load/unload signal to the controller. The trolleys’ integrated sensor unit ensures the high positioning precision required for smooth handover to and from the handling portal. This new solution extends the range of applications for the LOXrail system beyond production logistics in assembly lines to applications where large, heavy, or bulky material has to be loaded in and unloaded from processing equipment.

Losyco expands its LOXrail intra-logistics system for the mechanical engineering industry, introducing an innovative brake module that fully automatically stops loads transported on rails. Specified for manually operated trolleys and transport platforms, the SmartBrake system autonomously safely stops trolleys and loads if the track is blocked by an obstacle or when the operator stops pushing. This is enabled by special sensors with pattern detection active in two directions. Both detection methods reliably activate the brake even with protruding loads. They automatically switch functions when the direction of travel is reversed. Sensors at the rear detect the step pattern and activate the brake as soon as the operator stops pushing. Upon restarting, the brake is automatically released. Sensory obstacle detection towards the front automatically stops the platform if persons or objects block the path. The manufacturer configures the newly engineered SmartBrake module for individual customer projects. The self-reinforcing system is not subject to load limitation and can be adapted for all manually operated transport trolleys for LOXrail floor rails with a 25 or 40-mm diameter.

German intra-logistics specialist LOSYCO announces a generational change on the executive level. As of the beginning of 2020, Manuel Granz and Christoph W. Münter manage the operational business of the internationally successful provider of LOXrail handling solutions. The two new managing directors used to be in charge of sales and technology in a managerial capacity. LOSYCO was founded as a startup in 2016 by experienced intra-logistics expert Derek P. Clark who remains a shareholder of the company and will continue to support its sales activities. LOSYCO’s core business is planning, development, construction, and commissioning of rail-based conveyor systems for heavy-duty intra-logistics transport, for instance in machine and plant engineering. The portfolio includes tailor-made LOXrail solutions, various drive technologies, and the integration of material and media provision. In addition, LOSYCO supports manufacturers wishing to streamline their production logistics through conversion to one-piece flow. Smaller businesses can get a free check-up of their production facilities‘ potential for efficiency optimization. For input on the latest advances in scientific research, the company cooperates with research facilities such as the IWT institute for economic and technological management at the TH OWL university of applied sciences and arts in Detmold, Germany.

Intra-logistics expert LOSYCO has added a completely new transportation platform to its LOXrail system: the new, steerable Allrounder trolley enables flexible product alignment and change of direction in assembly lines. Designed for manual or battery-powered operation, the new trolley allows medium-heavy workpieces and assemblies up to 15 tons to be quickly, easily, and safely moved around corners without lifting the load. On the underside of the trolley, there is a mechanical steering system with novel, freely rotatable wheelsets. The wheels feature the tried-and-tested LOXrail profile for smooth running on round rails with minimum friction. The steering platform is designed for easy loading and operation, featuring a low minimum height of only 145 mm. It facilitates work in one-piece flow production lines. The LOXrail track layout can be flexibly adapted to the individual plant at significantly reduced installation costs. The entire conveying system is very low-maintenance and especially dirt-resistant. All components are robust and highly durable. The rails are firmly anchored in the hall floor. In addition to the low-wear steering mechanism, the new platforms are equipped with an innovative braking system to safely stop the load in its track. The brake is activated by pedal, providing for optimal ergonomics. It ensures load-dependent stopping of the trolley without blocking the wheels or leaving traces of abrasion on the floor. LOSYCO custom-builds the new steering platforms for use on LOXrail systems with a 25-mm or 40-mm rail diameter.

Based on the LOXrail system, the LOSYCO team of intra-logistics specialists creates handling solutions that help machine and plant engineering companies streamline production processes. The rails designed for payloads of several tons, the choice of drive technology, and the line layout are adapted to the requirements of the particular operation. Optionally, the entire system can be installed in the hall floor to implement mobile assembly lines for one-piece flow. Working for a machine tool builder, LOSYCO recently developed a drive concept with an especially low installation height to realize just such a solution. An underfloor pull-bar system that spans the entire assembly line is powered by a chain conveyor installed at the end of the line. A tow conveyor pulls the bulky assembly platforms from station to station. After each move, the system is retracted to the original position and again coupled to the platforms. This enables seamless flow production throughout all stages and allows assembly teams to move freely, unobstructed by the underfloor intra-logistics system. „This special in-floor solution illustrates the high degree of variability of our LOXrail system,“ says LOSYCO sales director Manuel Granz. The system comes with 25 mm or 40 mm rail diameters and includes intersections and turntables for a flexible adaption of the line to any shop-floor layout. The transport platforms run on smooth wheel sets with single or double rollers to accommodate payloads from 16 kN to 100 kN per wheel set. Due to the particularly low-friction wheel profile, machine tools and other very heavy goods are safely transported and accurately positioned. In applications requiring more power, LOSYCO equips the LOXrail system with electric or pneumatic movers, batteries, cable reels, or inductive drive technology.

At the 2019 LogiMAT exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany, intra-logistics expert LOSYCO (Hall 7, Stand B09) presents new add-ons to its LOXrail program. Designed to enable comfortable, flexible, and efficient transport on rails, these innovative features and solutions facilitate heavy-goods handling in assembly lines for machinery and other bulky products. A new system architecture with guidable transport platforms with an integrated brake has its trade fair premiere. The mechanical guiding system mounted on the underside of the platform enables users to change the orientation and properly realign bulky products and heavy machines that weigh up to 10 tons – all without compressed air or power. Novel, freely rotating wheelsets with optimized rolling characteristics enable easy turning of the platforms. Thus, the newly designed platforms can be navigated without lifting the payload, saving time and effort. The low-profile platforms are especially easy to load and thereby ideal for one-piece flow production and assembly lines. The track layout can be flexibly adapted to the individual plant at significantly reduced installation costs. The entire conveying system is very low-maintenance and especially dirt-resistant. All components are robust and highly durable. The rails are firmly anchored in the hall floor. An also newly developed brake system ensures ergonomic, safe, and smooth braking of the loaded trolley. The pedal-actuated brake functions independent of the hall floor. In addition, LOSYCO shows a cross section of its standard program for heavy-load transportation. Two versions with 25 mm or 40 mm wide rails are available with corresponding single or double wheelsets for payloads from 16 kN to 100 kN. A team of experts at the exhibition booth stands ready to advise manufacturers about the wide range of possible configurations and ways to integrate the LOXrail system.

For its LOXrail floor transport system, intra-logistics expert LOSYCO offers new stoppers for locking trolleys in place. LOXrail is available in two sizes with heavy-duty, hardened, and polished rail shafts with a 25 or 40 mm diameter. The system portfolio comprises wheelsets for different payloads, standard and heavy-duty trolleys, and a range of drive concepts. The new stoppers can be easily mounted at the side or front end of transport trolleys. They are designed to provide additional support for handling particularly heavy and bulky components by firmly arresting these in a designated position. The spring-loaded modules fix the transport trolleys in place with a contact pressure of around 100 kg each and compensate for minor unevenness in the hall floor. Two ergonomic foot levers are used to easily lock and release the stoppers. These mechanisms allow for keeping large components, such as machines, safely in place at various different points along the rail track throughout the stages of assembly. Thus, the trolleys can be used as mobile assembly stations, enabling manufacturers to streamline the entire logistics processes in cycle production. LOXrail trolleys are designed for heavy payloads, with standard versions accommodating up to 40 tons. Due to their special profile, LOXrail wheels feature a very low rolling resistance, which is why even components weighing several tons can be moved manually and precisely positioned without the need for an auxiliary drive. Crossings and switches enable a flexible adaptation of the rail layout to local conditions and production lines.

Based on its LOXrail system, LOSYCO develops, manufactures, and installs full-scale solutions for the transport of heavy machinery and components. In addition, smooth-running wheelsets from LOSYCO are also adapted to the specifications of other widely used systems based on round rail shafts. Single or double wheelsets are available for rails with 25 mm and 40 mm shaft diameters to accommodate payloads up to 100 kN. Mounting holes can be machined to suit transport trolleys and rolling platforms from different suppliers. Integrating the wheelsets in existing rail transport equipment is easy. A mounting frame for fixed or floating bearings and track setting enables precise installations. A special roller profile minimizes the touch points between wheel and rail to ensure smooth running, with a significantly reduced friction coefficient compared to conventional rolling elements designed with flanges. Even loads weighing several tons can therefore be easily, safely, and precisely moved by hand. The wheels are mounted in a sturdy aluminum casing and are designed for the transport of light and medium loads along straight tracks and rail crossings. LOSYCO offers double wheelsets for transporting heavy loads. The range is completed by single- and two-wheel versions for driven applications, which can be connected to PTO shafts via adapters. Wiper brushes or scraper blades, which are mounted on the wheelset casing and can be readjusted via slotted holes, keep dirt and foreign objects away.

logistics expert LOSYCO now equips its LOXrail system with newly developed end stops. These modules are mounted at the end of a track to ensure trolleys will stop in a safe way without jamming up. Plastic buffers slow down the trolley wheels and also prevent derailment. An end plate prevents axial displacement of the rail shaft. Because of their particularly installation-friendly design, the new end fittings can be attached to the track in seconds. Stops and intra-logistics rails are installed level with the factory floor in one piece. They are precisely positioned and fixed with cast concrete. All this takes very little time since there is no need for drilling holes and affixing anchors or screws. Plastic buffers and plates can be easily replaced when they are worn out. Machine and equipment builders and other manufacturers will find LOXrail to be an economical and extremely sturdy solution for transporting heavy and bulky parts. The installation of this rail system generally requires no structural changes to a facility. That makes it highly suitable for streamlining processes and implementing one-piece flow production almost anywhere where heavy parts are involved, even if the number of manufactured units is small and individual assembly steps are labor-intensive and require a lot of material. The track layout can be flexibly adapted to the floor plan of a plant, since crossings and switches are part of the LOXrail program. The system design ensures that people, pallet jacks, rolling shelves, or cleaning machines are never tripped up.

Weighing stations that can be installed flush with the factory floor are LOSYCO’s latest addition to its innovative heavy-duty intra-logistics rail system. In one recent LOXrail installation in a German machine manufacturer’s factory, the intra-logistics specialist has also integrated two specially developed heavy-duty scales. These weighing systems are perfectly level with the floor. At the very end of the assembly line, they are used to determine the exact freight weight before shipping. LOXrail rails and trolleys enable easy transport of machines and parts from one assembly station to the next. Once packaged, the products are simply pushed onto the 5000 mm x 2500 mm wide weighing station. Without time-consuming maneuvering, the customer saves costs, effort, and energy. The new heavy-duty weighing stations with their six electronic load cells are designed for total payloads up to 45 tons. The electronic scales subtract the weight of the trolley to determine the cargo load, which they can also automatically transmit to the control system via WiFi (WLAN) to make the data immediately available for entry in the shipping documents and communication to logistics partners. A label printer connected to the scales enables direct marking of the freight load for shipping. The scales conform to SOLAS accuracy class III and meet the latest requirements for goods transport on container ships. According to the SOLAS VGM regulation, which took effect in over 160 countries in July 2016, container cargo must have a verified gross mass (VGM) to be loaded onto a vessel. The new LOSYCO weighing station facilitates the weighing and documentation of cargo loads and enables machinery and equipment manufacturers to streamline logistics and shipping processes.

In a new brochure, advanced intra-logistics systems manufacturer Losyco introduces the innovative LOXrail system and provides an overview of all available variants. The easy and cost-efficient installation and operation make this floor rail system ideally suited for machine and tool manufacturers as well as many small and medium-sized companies seeking to introduce continuous flow production. Optimized for transporting heavy and bulky loads, the rail system is available in two sizes with 25 mm or 40 mm rail diameters. The standard length for a piece of track is 3 meters. The hardened and polished guide rails are available in CF 53 or stainless steel grades. A wide selection of wheel sets with one or two wheels moves payloads with up to 100 kN. The wheel sets come with or without a mounting frame and optionally as powered versions. The special profile of the wheels ensures minimal friction, enabling loads weighing several tons to be moved manually. The steel round bar housed in the base profile is finally fixed with only one anchoring clip to prevent axial displacement. This also means that less material and less maintenance is required. Thanks to the floor-level installation, the highly wear-resistant rails never get in the way of employees or pallet jacks. An almost gap-free surface prevents dirt accumulation. Various accessories such as junction elements and end pieces, different kinds of wipers to protect the wheels, mounting gauges, and leveling and absorbing panels complement the program. The new catalog is available for download from the company website www.losyco.com.

Launching the LOXrail program, German manufacturer Losyco provides a round rail system that increases assembly line efficiency for large machine and product manufacturing processes. The new system, characterized by minimal rolling friction, is brought to the market by a team of accomplished intra-logistics industry experts, led by managing director Derek P. Clark. Loads as heavy as several tons can be moved manually or with a small auxiliary drive with much lower energy consumption and much less equipment compared to standard procedures using overhead cranes, SGVs, or pallet trucks. LOXrail is available in two sizes with rail diameters of 25 or 40 mm. Goods loaded on standard or custom-made trolleys are safely transported and accurately positioned. Nominal payloads vary with the number of wheel sets. Even standard trolleys carry payloads of up to 40 tons. In one-piece flow assembly lines, the trolleys serve as mobile workstations. The floor-level rails never get in the way of employees and are no obstacle for rolling racks, working and cleansing machines, etc. The rail products portfolio includes junctions as well as components to change the direction of the trolley. Managing director Clark points to the wide range of services available from Losyco: „We offer more than a transport system. LOXrail is the cornerstone of a holistic approach. All of our team members have many years of experience and considerable expertise in production logistics. We provide comprehensive and hands-on support to companies seeking to introduce a production line based on lean manufacturing principles.“ To this end, Losyco offers additional equipment such as chain and roller conveyors to complement the round bar rails. The company devises and manufactures customized logistics solutions and helps streamline production processes.
