Abstract

A handling system for a filling system for filling containers and circuits of vehicles with different operating materials on assembly lines of the automobile industry is disclosed. The filling system has a base unit, a controller, a console, and an adapter. The adapter is operatively connected to a hose packet for supplying the respective operating materials which is movably supported on the console. The handling system handles the hose packets which are operated with a medium other than a pneumatic system. The drive of the movable hose packets and the drive system of a lifting unit equipped with a tray for the adapter are each designed as an electromotive drive. The disclosure further provides the sequences of movement of the adapter and lifting unit.

Dependent claims

A handling system for a filling system for filling containers and circuits of vehicles with different operating materials on assembly lines of the automobile industry;

wherein the filling system comprises a base unit, a controller, a console, and an adapter;
wherein the adapter is operatively connected to a plurality of hoses for supplying respective different operating materials to each of the plurality of hoses, which hoses are structurally combined in a hose packet and movably supported on the console;
wherein a drive system of the movable hose packet and a drive system of a lifting unit equipped with a tray for the adapter are each designed as an electromotive drive;
wherein the handling system comprises at least one lifting unit, wherein a target position for moving from a working position to a parking position is preset for the lifting unit as its respective own parking position and an adapter delivery unit is assigned an indirect target position based on the current position of the lifting unit, wherein the lifting unit is rated MASTER and dynamically presets the position of the adapter delivery unit according to a position formula:
