- item embraces lean manufacturing, karakuri, and linear motion technology ideal for modern machine-building needs.
Aluminium Profile Product Overview
Automation System
item linear motion units® – perfectly coordinated automation.
The item linear motion unit® is the all-in-one, turnkey solution for your automation needs. A portfolio of Linear Units, Motors and Controllers offer the ideal basis for configuring a customised automation solution that is tailored to your requirements.
When working with the innovative configuration software item MotionDesigner®, users can formulate their transport task in as much detail as they like. item MotionDesigner® factors in the static, dynamic and thermal loads of all components and thus delivers the optimum solution from thousands of possible combinations. item MotionSoft® commissioning software and the intelligent item Controller measure the Linear Unit independently and thus calculate the optimum settings.
Robotic Applications
Whether you’re using cobots for human-robot collaboration or to autonomously manufacture the smallest of batches, item ensures you can integrate lightweight robots safely and flexibly into your production operations. Options range from mobile robot cells and modular robot bases to extendible robot tables and more.
Enclosure & Guard Systems
The Protective Enclosure System from item satisfies all requirements for continuous machine guards. It has been engineered on an entirely modular basis using components from the MB Building Kit System and can be adapted to suit the relevant machine and the necessary protective function perfectly.
Stairway & Platform Systems
TPS makes it easier than ever to reach every part of a machine and work on various levels. Bridges, maintenance platforms for elevated sections of machinery and allround working platforms can all be built using the same system.
Inspired by the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger”, item is bringing a whole new dimension to factory equipment engineering.
Faster: item fastening technology enables users to build stable stairways and systems without the need for additional welded seams or complex mitre cuts. Intelligent, multifunctional fastening technology adapts to suit the relevant requirements so that users don’t need to have a specialist module for each individual scenario. All the solutions can be also be easily extended at a later point in time.
Higher: Customised stairways enable “access to all areas” with either convenient or space-saving designs. Four pitches are available – 30°, 38°, 45° and 60°. Safe and secure platforms can be used to create an additional working level.
Stronger: Stable guard-rails and numerous integrated safety functions make TPS a reliable partner. The strong build of the system means that stanchions can be installed at intervals of up to 1200 mm and platforms can cover an area as big as 36 m2. The additional use of the Line 8 groove opens up the entire MB Building Kit System as a source of potential add-ons, enabling users to combine working platforms with protective enclosures and doors, for example.
Machine Enclosure Systems - XMS
Achieve the perfect machine frame with just a few components. The high-performance machine modules offer everything that mechanical engineering requires. Utilising functions such as integrated cable conduits and special seal grooves, you can build highly functional machine cabins with ease.
Work Bench System
Your own customised work bench configured from our broad, standardised portfolio – fast, flexible, economical and ergonomic. Whether integrated into production lines, as a module for production islands or as a standalone work bench, our new item work bench range will always have the right solution for all your needs! All work benches are height adjustable, with electrical systems available on request.
The basic configuration (table design and table top) alone offers a range of 80 work bench variants. What’s more, these variants can be combined with Uprights, Overhangs and a whole range of innovative accessories.
MB Building Kit System
The item MB Building Kit System is the solution for all design and construction tasks involving factory equipment engineering. It can be used to build everything from simple frames to fully automated production lines.
For more than 30 years, engineers around the world have been relying on the MB Building Kit System because it presents solutions that simply work. The modular components can be combined in a virtually unlimited number of variations, helping you turn your ideas into reality. Reliability and extendibility ensure that systems and structures have an extremely long useful life.
Lean Production Building Kit System
Simple handling is the key feature of Line D30 and delivers maximum cost efficiency through continuous improvements in manufacturing processes. It is made possible by non-machined connections, simple joining and a forgiving design principle. The freedom and flexibility of a tubing system coupled with the item Building Kit System result in a diverse range of possible combinations. Giving you the ultimate flexibility for turning your ideas into reality.
The components deliver exceptional performance – significantly lighter than steel designs but still stable, thanks to the benefits of profiled tubes. Fastenings can be implemented anywhere – in the perfect position and at any angle. Furthermore, support of the item Profiles 6 and 8 groove enables users to take advantage of the wide range of accessories in the MB Building Kit System.
Conveying Technology
The modular solution for the automated flow of goods: Thanks to a wide selection of conveyor systems and drives, the item Conveyor Belt System is the perfect support for your intralogistics operations. Easy-to-combine components form the basis for conveying technology that can be free-standing or integrated into systems. Low-maintenance design and high-quality components ensure excellent process reliability.
Line XMS
Clean lines on the outside, ingenious details on the inside – Line XMS meets all the requirements of modular series production. Fully compatible with the item MB Building Kit System, the XMS system has three defining features:
1. Line XMS produces load-bearing constructions with compartmentalised functional sections. That makes it extremely easy to build structures that are modular and easy to service.
2. Cables and hoses are safely routed through cable conduits that are integrated into the profiles. Everything is easily accessible but hidden from view.
3. Profiles XMS have closed outer surfaces to help keep production clean and seals that ensure doors close perfectly.
The integrated approach pursued by item puts your process first, not the installations. The machine frame and its functional sections help put your know-how centre stage.
Your ideas are worth it.
Building the perfect machine base from just a few components. Only Line XMS can do this! Modular, integrated and economical.
