Robotic Automated Conveying System for Automotive Chassis Parts
This conveyor system using automation for the distribution of automobile chassis components is a fully integrated modular solution for the movement of large or heavy materials efficiently and accurately. It includes a conveyor belt made of either aluminum or stainless steel with indications on both sides; these features will provide protection from corrosion, maintain cleanliness, and allow for safe transport of materials between items. At each key workstation, a robotic arm (Kawasaki robotic arm or a similar model) will be utilized to automatically load/unload/sort/settle; whereby automating the transportation of products from manual material flow to an automated production cell.
What problems does it solve? Traditional manual handling of chassis parts is labor‑intensive, inconsistent, and poses safety risks. This system eliminates repetitive lifting, reduces cycle time variability, and prevents part damage. What value does it bring? Higher throughput, reduced labor costs (typically 50‑70% savings), improved workplace safety, and seamless integration with upstream/downstream processes (e.g., welding, painting, assembly). The modular design allows future expansion as production volumes grow.

What is an Automated Conveying System for Automotive Chassis Parts?
An automated conveyor system for automotive does just that but with large or heavy things, like chassis frames, suspension arms, subframes, and brackets. Instead of moving parts manually using a forklift or an electric cart, this system will use continuous, controlled, and traceable movement. The typical functions of the automated material handling system in an automotive manufacturing environment include unloading from the stamping press, feeding welding robots, transporting assembled parts between paint lines, and sorting finished parts prior to being packaged. Designed for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in automotive Tier 1 or OEM manufacturing plants, the automated material handling system has been engineered to be very reliable with high levels of safety guarding and with easy integration into MES for real-time production tracking. Unlike traditional automated materials handling systems, these systems are customized or non-standard systems and we will tailor the length of the conveyor, the reach of the robot, the type of belt used, and the control logic that drives the conveyor and/or robot, to meet the customer’s desired part dimensions and weight, as well as their throughput requirements.
Stainless steel or aluminum construction, enclosed side panels for safety and cleanliness.
Automatic loading, unloading, sorting, or part positioning (Kawasaki, Fanuc, ABB compatible).
Suitable for high‑weight chassis parts (>50kg), heat‑resistant and wear‑resistant.
Tailored to your part geometry, conveyor path, and facility layout.

Core Technical Advantages – What Problems It Solves & Value Delivered
Problem: Manual material handling injuries & fatigue
Solution: The robot handles all lifting, carrying, and positioning of heavy chassis parts (e.g., subframes, control arms). Operators are removed from repetitive, injury‑prone tasks. Value: Reduced workplace injuries, lower worker compensation costs, and improved employee retention.
Problem: Inconsistent cycle times & production bottlenecks
Solution: The conveyor + robot system provides predictable, repeatable part flow at a programmable speed. Sensors detect part arrival and trigger robot actions. Value: Smoother production rhythm, higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and on‑time delivery.
Problem: Part damage during manual transport
Solution: Enclosed metal belt conveyor with custom part fixtures prevents scratches, dents, or misalignment. Robot grippers are force‑limited to avoid marking. Value: Lower scrap rate, reduced rework costs, and consistent quality for downstream welding or painting.
Problem: Difficulty integrating with other automation
Solution: The system is designed with standard interfaces (Ethernet/IP, Profinet). We provide conveyor‑robot interlock logic and MES data handshake. Value: Quick commissioning, minimal downtime during integration, and full production traceability.
Customer Success Story – Real‑World Value
An automotive supplier at Tier 1 level has been using a manual way to relocate subframes that weigh 65 kg to and from a welding robot and a painting line, resulting in operator back injuries and limiting production to 15 units per hour. Benlong developed a custom automated conveying system using a Kawasaki robot and a 20-meter metal belt conveyor.
In just 11 months, this system was able to pay for itself through a decrease in labor, fewer scrap pieces, and less injury claims. Additionally, the customer has ordered two more lines for different chassis components since then.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
There are various components in chassis systems such as control arms, subframes, axles, and suspension links (among others). Any part under 200 kg can be designed to fit into an entire chassis systems. Any specific part will have a custom gripper or a custom fixture that perfectly fits that particular part for protection from any potential damage during handling.
Yes. The robot controller stores recipes for different part geometries. Grippers can be designed as quick‑change or dual‑jaw to handle multiple part families. Changeover time is typically under 15 minutes.
We provide digital I/O or Ethernet communication (Profinet, Ethernet/IP) to synchronize the conveyor/robot with upstream or downstream equipment. The conveyor can act as a buffer between machines.
