LOXrail Round Rail System

Launching the LOXrail program, German manufacturer Losyco provides a round rail system that increases assembly line efficiency for large machine and product manufacturing processes. The new system, characterized by minimal rolling friction, is brought to the market by a team of accomplished intra-logistics industry experts, led by Managing Director Derek P. Clark. Loads as heavy as several tons can be moved manually or with a small auxiliary drive with much lower energy consumption and much less equipment compared to standard procedures using overhead cranes, SGVs or pallet trucks.

LOXrail is available in two sizes with rail diameters of 25 or 40 mm. Goods loaded on standard or custom-made trolleys are safely transported and accurately positioned. Nominal payloads vary with the number of wheel sets. Even standard trolleys carry payloads of up to 40 tons. In one-piece flow assembly lines, the trolleys serve as mobile workstations. The floor-level rails never get in the way of employees and are no obstacle for rolling racks, working and cleansing machines. The rail products portfolio includes junctions and components to change the direction of the trolley.

Clark points to the range of services available from Losyco: "We offer more than a transport system. LOXrail is the cornerstone of a holistic approach. All of our team members have many years of experience and considerable expertise in production logistics. We provide comprehensive and hands-on support to companies seeking to introduce a production line based on lean manufacturing principles."

To this end, Losyco offers additional equipment such as chain and roller conveyors to complement the round bar rails. The company devises and manufactures customized logistics solutions and helps streamline production processes.
