Why Choose the TS4plus Conveyor?
The TS4plus assembly conveyor, along with TS1 and TSplus is part of the new generation of TS modular conveyors for flexible assembly. Like all TS products, TS4plus is a workpiece-pallet based conveyor system designed to improve manufacturing productivity and product quality while allowing for maximum assembly flexibility.
All components of the TS4plus system are pre-engineered and modular. The system can be easily expanded, reconfigured, or relocated as your production needs change. You can phase in your investment as time and budget permit. Start with a simple conveyor for basic assembly, and grow into a fully automated, progressive assembly system. As production requirements change, TS4plus gives you the flexibility to add manual or automatic workstations.

Why is the Workpiece Pallet so Important?
TS4plus conveyors transport parts and assemblies on workpiece pallets. The workpiece pallets, up to 1243 x 1243 mm (49" x 49") are not attached to the conveying medium that transports them. This method offers many benefits for product assembly applications:
Positioning
A Rexroth Lift Position Unit can position pallets at workstations with a repeatable accuracy of ±0.125 mm (.005"), making precision assembly operations possible.
Tooling
Pallets can be equipped with fixtures to secure parts and assemblies for manual or automated operations.
Sensing
Conveyor mounted proximity switches work with exciter plates on the pallet corner bumpers to detect pallet presence.
Stopping
Pallets can be stopped on the leading or trailing edge - regardless of pallet orientation on the conveyor. Pallets can also be accumulated in queue and released one at a time.
Durable Low-Friction Roller Chain
The workpiece pallets are transported by a durable low-friction roller chain, allowing the accumulation of even heavily loaded pallets.
