MK Profile Systems Ltd

mk, one of the leading suppliers of mechanical components and modular solutions for factory automation, launches Versamove - a flexible pallet handling system based on customer requirements. Equipped with modules and components from the mk modular system for profiles, conveyors and linear technology, Versamove systems offer dependability, high quality and process reliability.

The modular design of Versamove ensures fast, transparent planning and project development. Versamove can be flexibly expanded and adapted to your specific requirements. When developing the system, particular attention was paid to compatibility to systems already available on the market. And that means, for example, pallets of other manufacturers can also be used on the Versamove standard. This enables existing systems to be easily expanded with Versamove.

‘Versa’ stands for Versatility.  VersaMove can be used in virtually all areas of automation and material flow.

There are 3 weight and size classes to choose from to ensure that the right system is always available for any application. Standard (up to 40kg and with a curved module), Plus (up to 100kg with versatile pallet sizes) & Ultra (up to 300kg with a high load capacity). The versatile pallet sizes and the choice of different conveyor types make Versamove extremely flexible. Fast cycle times with high precision is ensured with timing belt conveyors. Accumulating roller conveyors are especially well-suited for accumulating operation and for heavily loaded applications. The flat top chain conveyor also offers accumulation capability and in addition enables direction changes using curved frames.

"We are continuing to see a trend toward individualized production with the theoretical goal of batch sizes of 1," says Christian Becker, Product Manager at mk Technology Group. "In the future, small batch size production will be the order of the day. To meet the growing challenges associated with producing ever smaller batch sizes, mk has developed a pallet recirculation system that lives up to these attributes.”

Applications include automotive, consumer electronics, household appliances, electrical engineering, plastics industry and even toy manufacturing!
