Optimising an intralogistics shuttle for TGW Logistics Group
faigle wheels for TGW Logistics
As a systems integration specialist, TGW takes responsibility for planning, system production and installation at complex logistics centres, handling everything from mechatronics and robotics to control systems and software.
For TGW, it is vital to operate as an industry pioneer in order to achieve success in this highly competitive market. This is where faigle Kunststoffe comes into play: this Austrian family business develops and manufactures components and assemblies made from engineering plastics – in particular wheels, as well as components subject to dynamic stress – for intralogistics systems. TGW brought the plastics specialist on board as a development partner with a view to enhancing the efficiency of the Stingray shuttle.
faigle and Kardex team up to optimise wheels for vertical storage system
Case study: 2K wheel for Kardex
Thanks to a combination of innovative spirit and close collaboration, Kardex and the faigle Group have jointly developed a new guiding wheel for the Vertical Lift Module (VLM) storage system. Made from high-performance plastics, the new wheel’s lightweight construction gives it a clear edge over its predecessor. And this small part can also effortlessly withstand the huge forces it is exposed to at high operating speeds. Another advantage of this faigle innovation: production using injection moulding delivers clear benefits when it comes to cost effectiveness.
