Conveyor Technology

RK Rose+Krieger adapts tube connectors through machining to meet the requirements of a trolley construction. The solution is designed for loads weighing up to 30 kilograms.

Drum operation or cable trolleys pose different requirements on moving cables. TKD Kabel offers two fiber optic product families with different bending radii for this purpose.

Whether shore power supply for ships or charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles and machinery: Robust systems are in demand that reliably transmit high power and are simultaneously flexible in use. To be able to offer customers even more targeted individual system solutions for demanding applications in shore power supply, charging infrastructure, and other specialized industrial sectors in the future, Igus will take over Krott Electronic GmbH on October 1, 2026. The company from Stolberg specializes in customized connection technology for industrial niche applications.

Torwegge is expanding its range of components for material flow with the "Leo" roller. According to the company, the tread made of glass fiber-reinforced polyurethane is low-noise and gentle on floors. The roller is designed for loads of up to 130 kilograms. Sealed ball bearings and components made of galvanized metal or stainless steel are also intended to increase corrosion resistance and enable outdoor use.

The Paul Vahle GmbH & Co. KG welcomed 14 new trainees to its Kamen site on August 26, 2026. The young professionals will first undergo a four-day introductory program before beginning their training in nine different occupations. These include the areas of Technical Product Design, Electronics for Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing and Machining Mechanics, as well as IT for Application Development. The new cohort also includes aspiring industrial clerks, a warehouse specialist, and an industrial electrician for devices and systems. One young talent is beginning a dual study program in IT for System Integration. During the introduction days, the new employees will get to know the company, the training process, their rights and responsibilities, as well as their future colleagues.

In modern production and logistics, companies continually face the challenge of optimizing their internal material flow to maximize productivity, cost savings, and efficiency. Overhead conveyor systems play an important role in this context. They are ideally suited for the manual or semi-automated transport of a variety of components and parts. Due to their flexible and efficient use, they present a compelling alternative to small load carriers (SLC).
