Smart pallet handling for all requirements
Kempten (Germany), 07/2022 – Anyone familiar with Liebherr's history knows that, of all people, its founder Hans Liebherr was not afraid to take risks. “Think for yourself, do it yourself, pay for it yourself” – that was his motto. The genesis of Liebherr pallet handling can also be traced back to this innovative spirit. When it came to looking for an automation solution for their own manufacturing system in 2008, they couldn't find anything suitable on the market. So they quickly decided: “We'll do it ourselves.” And so the PHS Pro pallet handling system was born – today, it is a comprehensive, freely scalable automation system with a huge scope for customer-specific adaptation for large and complex manufacturing lines.
From PHS Pro to PHS Allround
It became apparent that many companies had similar automation tasks. This was the incentive for Liebherr to develop a modular version of the PHS Pro: the PHS Allround. “The PHS Allround, with its standard components in an intelligent platform, is ideally suited to making it easier for smaller companies or automation newbies to get started – without having to compromise on functionality!” explains Agnes Schauppel, automation systems product manager.
With its basic modular concept, the PHS Allround combines the advantages of a standard product with step-by-step expansion options for loading a wide variety of machines. The system is available in three different weights, with optional variants available facilitating front access, double loading or extra-long stroke, for example.
Production from a batch size of one
Pallet handling systems manipulate workpieces on uniform transport pallets. This makes them the ideal automation system for one-off and small batch manufacturing, facilitating unmanned shifts through to “lights-out manufacturing” and enabling unit costs to be reduced by up to 40 percent and machine running times increased to up to 90 percent. And the love of “refinement” has remained to this day. This has resulted in a wide range of possible applications and combinations, as the following three applications demonstrate.
