Understanding montrac® Transport System
Find out why manufacturers around the world trust montratec with their transportation needs.
Key Benefits
Unique Features of montrac®
Our montrac® innovative transport system can handle longer runs despite space constraints. It can transport routes over several floors through interconnected lift systems. By installing the transfer system (between machines) under the ceiling and integrating buffer zones, operators can have smoother material flow and larger free production areas.
The montrac® transport system offers the following comprehensive features:
- 24V DC energy-efficient motors
- Ceiling mount
- Complex configuration capabilities
- Easy modification
- Anti-static and shock/vibration-free operation
- High-speed indexing
- Lower overall ownership cost
- Noise output >65 decibels
- No pneumatics
- On-board shuttle power
- Simple I/O link communication
- Stopping accuracy ±0.02 mm
Stats
2500+
More than 2,500 montrac® monorail transport systems installed worldwide.
montrac® Shuttles
The key component of the montrac® system is the innovative shuttle, designed to transport product with zero shock or vibration. Every montrac® shuttle features intelligent motion proximity sensors, onboard power supply, and unique digital ID for custom programming.
S015 & X030
These are standard shuttles with a maximum speed of 55 meters/min, capable of transporting loads up to 30 kg.
S014CR & X021 CR
Designed for cleanrooms, these shuttles can achieve a maximum speed of 55 meters/min, transporting loads up to 30 kg. The rubberized support and drive rollers allow for extra-low particle emissions, and the contactless braking system minimizes friction
X050
Capable of transporting loads up to 50 kg, these shuttles have optional five-beam sensor modules for the rear and front axels, which prevent collisions during reversing or turning and can monitor wide carriers.
W040 & W070
The W040 transports loads up to 40 kg, and the W070 model can handle up to 70 kg. The innovative sensor modules on both shuttles’ space-saving monorail systems help prevent potential collisions, and the W070 includes sensor-monitored reversing capabilities.
Trac
A straight monorail Trac has a colorless, extruded, anodized aluminum profile. The TracControl routing module can be placed at any point along the conductor rails, which can run right or left along the Trac.
Trac Link
TracCurve
The TracCurve enables 45° or 90° changes in direction with a connection radii of 520 mm or 220 mm. Joining two 90° TracCurves can create one 180° curve.
TracSwitch & Arena
The TracSwitch component redirects shuttles from one track to two or two tracks to one. A narrow radius allows the creation of junctions within a confined space. The TracSwitch Arena component redirects shuttles from a track further on or back to the main track, forming a single component that creates a complete bypass.
TracCrossing
The TracCrossing is a junction component enabling two tracks running at right angles to cross.
Benefits of Implementing montrac®
The advanced, patented technology of montrac® is future-proof, giving facility managers the following long-term benefits:
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Enhanced operational efficiency
- Increased productivity
- Maintenance-friendly features
- Reduced downtime
- Ease of line expansion
Flexible & Modular Design
The components can adapt to an array of production volumes, allowing for growth and adaptability while preventing overinvestment. The system’s flexibility extends to various product sizes, shapes, and types, making it easier to expand lines, reconfigure, or adjust other settings as needed. Individual shuttles can be repaired or serviced without affecting the overall production process.
Energy Efficient
The montrac® transport system requires no compressed air, which removes the need for components like valves, tubing, filters, and regulators while eliminating the cost of air consumption. By reducing energy consumption, montrac® provides considerable cost savings and lowers CO2 and other harmful emissions. Implementing montrac® contributes to environmentally friendly business practices and complies with legal regulations.
Electrostatic Dissipative
With continuous grounding, montrac® is ESD-capable. Its static dissipative properties allow it to conform to the demanding ESD requirements of the electronics industry, ensuring the secure transport of sensitive electronic and semiconductor components. The system also meets DIN EN 61340-5-1 requirements, even under dry room conditions.
Shock-Free Transport
Every shuttle provides shock-free transport of
workpiece pallets, with advanced distance sensors that continuously monitor the
surrounding environment for obstacles or other shuttles. The intelligent
control of deceleration and acceleration is the key to this advantage, with
shuttles capable of adjusting speed based on the current speed and measured
distance of the shuttle in front. When the distance sensor detects a change in
distance, it initiates the required acceleration or deceleration response in
real time to prevent collisions and maintain the proper distance.
