A STEIN pallet transfer system is an asynchronous conveyor: each workpiece pallet moves independently rather than in lockstep with the rest of the line. Pallets can queue in front of a slow station, and work can be split across parallel stations to balance cycle time. STEIN builds these German-engineered systems in modular sections, so a line can be reconfigured or extended later. EAC is the STEIN Automation manufacturers' representative for PA, NJ, MD, DE and VA.
STEIN transfer systems
The standard
STEIN 300
STEIN's core pallet transfer system, in place in over 3,900 assembly facilities. Freely scalable, with pneumatic stoppers, transfers and centering units.
Pallet size from 6.2 in
Workpiece weight up to 55 lb
All-electric
STEIN 300e
The STEIN 300 platform with electrically driven stoppers, transfers and centering units instead of pneumatics, for plants moving away from compressed air.
Pallet size from 6.2 in
Workpiece weight up to 55 lb
Heavy duty
STEIN 400
For large, heavy workpieces moving through assembly.
Pallet size from 9.4 in
Workpiece weight up to 176 lb (80 kg)
Shuttles and control
STEIN LINK and STEIN CONTROL
STEIN LINK is a shuttle system that complements the transfer systems, with no cabling along the track and simple installation. STEIN CONTROL is a line control that doesn't need special PLC programming skills, and it routes pallets using RFID.
