Our solutions for your particular sorting process

Tilt-tray sorters or cross-belt sorters

Sort, distribute, and accurately feed baggage into subsequent transportation routes until they reach the right aircraft: The task undertaken by baggage sorters places high demands on electric drive technology and automation. On the one hand, it is a question of high speed, fast acceleration, and smooth braking. On the other hand, however, precise positioning is required. All the above is perfectly integrated into the overall system control technology.

Irrespective of whether you want to deploy a tilt-tray sorter or a cross-belt sorter, we have the drive you need. If you use our SL2 synchronous linear servomotor as the main drive, your existing sorter systems, which are fitted with traditional asynchronous linear motors, achieve a high degree of efficiency. Furthermore, if you use our exceptionally energy-efficient mechatronic drives on the auxiliary axis, you will make considerable savings.
