Automation solutions for skillet conveyors

Skillet conveyors – consisting of a group of lined-up individual platforms – are often used in the assembly of automotive production. For reasons of ergonomics and process, the individual platforms are usually equipped with lift tables to bring the material being conveyed to a height necessary for assembly.
