The Montrac conveyor system, which contains only components with electric drives, is by default designed for cleanroom class ISO 5. Thanks to an improved development, it has now been certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for production in cleanroom class ISO 4.

Uses of Montrac in a cleanroom range from the production of sensitive products, such as hard drives and wafers, to the transport of pharmaceuticals and plastic containers for medical applications. Montrac is suitable even in highly complex production, where various products are manufactured in chaotic sequence. A Montrac system is also appropriate for applications with different cleanrooms.

Electrically driven components

The switches and crossings run on electricity. This eliminates the need for pneumatic components and their connections. The power is supplied directly via bus bars; thus, the system needs little or no wiring. An additional current collector can supply power to the work pieces on shuttles in transit, for example for testing purposes or for commissioning operating systems.

Montrac is a carefree system: The low percentage of mechanical components was developed with an eye on their long service life. The shuttle is driven by a brushless DC motor and can be removed quickly and easily from the production without stopping the system. All ball bearings are closed and permanently lubricated. The components are preset and meet both EMC and ESD requirements.
