Updated: 7 days ago
DS Automotion CHASSISMOVER carries vehicle chassis and heavy assemblies through final assembly. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
CHASSISMOVER replaces fixed assembly conveyors with vehicles. Each carries up to 5 t on a steel frame and raises the load from 130 to 1,000 mm so workers can set their preferred height. Lines can run continuously or stop and go, and layouts change by reprogramming rather than rebuilding. Energy options include lithium, lead-acid, powercap with buffer battery and inductive transfer, and drives range from differential to omnidirectional. Localization uses SLAM, magnetic spots, Data Matrix or magnetic tape, and plant start-up takes a few days, according to DS Automotion.
