1 / 2A semi-automatic assembly line that moves house modules forward. Beams push all modules simultaneously along the line. The beams are returned manually using a forklift, ensuring a simple, robust, and energy-efficient operation.
The stations, tracks, and layout are all tailored to your modules and volume. When needed, the system can include 90-degree turns and transfer conveyors to connect multiple lines.
Beam pushers drive the beams forward automatically, and the modules standing on them advance together. Beams are returned manually using a forklift.
All modules move together in a straight linear motion. No risk of collisions or module damage.
Low-friction design keeps energy use down. If power is lost, modules can still be pushed forward manually.
The system logs every stop and shares the data with your MES, so you can see exactly where production loses time. Run at a fixed takt time or with continuous movement.
Volumetric Building Companies is a leading American company in industrialized house construction, building complete buildings from modules. In 2022 we delivered Beam System Auto, the fully automatic version of this line, to their factory in Tracy, California, where it moves the modules forward through assembly.
