Muratec SKY RAV Review: Features and Uses of the Overhead Transport System
Updated: 7 days ago
The Muratec SKY RAV is a transport system whose carriages travel on rails under the ceiling. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
SKY RAV moves material above the factory instead of across it. Carriages run on ceiling rails, so the route is the shortest one and does not depend on what stands on the floor. Muratec states transport about ten times faster than conveyors. Carriages communicate in real time and are sequenced to avoid collisions, and they couple directly to production equipment for just-in-time delivery. Power is fed without contact, which avoids the dust of sliding collectors and suits clean production. The page gives no load or speed figures.
