TSplus Modular Conveyor System Overview
The TSplus Modular Conveyor by Bosch Rexroth is an advanced conveyor system that integrates seamlessly with flexible manufacturing processes. It uses workpiece pallets to transport items across various workstations, supporting both manual and automated handling.
The system comes with three different conveying media options — belt, flat-top chain, or roller chain — allowing you to choose the configuration that suits your needs best. Workpiece pallets, which come in 26 different sizes ranging from 160 x 160 mm to 1040 x 1040 mm, travel along these media, providing precise positioning for accurate assembly operations.
How the TSplus Modular Conveyor System Works for Flexible Manufacturing
At AUTOMATE 2024, we joined Thomas Brown, Senior Sales Engineer at Bosch Rexroth, as he explored the TSplus Modular Conveyor system. This live demonstration highlighted the adaptability and efficiency of TSplus in action.
With a modular design, the conveyor can be customized to meet specific production requirements, whether for manual or automated handling. See for yourself how TSplus provides a simple, customizable, and durable solution for modern manufacturing needs.
Key Benefits of TSplus Modular Conveyor System
TSplus Modular Conveyors are designed for maximum versatility and efficiency. Here’s why they stand out:
Modular Design: All components are pre-engineered and modular, meaning you can easily expand, reconfigure, or relocate the system as production requirements change. Start small and grow as your needs do.
Versatile Media Options: Choose from belt, flat-top chain, or roller chain to match your payload requirements. Whether handling up to 250 kg with a belt drive, 500 kg with a flat-top chain, or as much as 1800 kg with a roller chain, TSplus has an option for every load size.
Cycle-Independent Stations: TSplus allows for bypassing workstations and creating cycle-independent stations, making it easy to balance work across assembly processes and accommodate fluctuating production quantities.
Precision Handling: The workpiece pallets can be precisely positioned at each workstation with an accuracy of ±0.05 mm when used with Rexroth's Lift-Position Units. This ensures optimal product quality and reliability throughout the assembly process.

Common Manufacturing Challenges Solved by TSplus Modular Conveyor
Manufacturers today are juggling a lot of challenges. One day, they might be ramping up production to meet a sudden spike in demand, and the next, they need to switch gears to accommodate a new product design. On top of that, floor space is often at a premium, and maximizing every square foot is crucial.
TSplus Modular Conveyors help overcome these obstacles in several ways:
Adaptability to Change: The modular nature of TSplus allows manufacturers to expand or modify their conveyor systems easily. Whether introducing new product lines or shifting from manual to automated processes, TSplus grows with your needs.
Efficient Use of Space: Vertical transfer units and over/under configurations are key features of TSplus, helping save valuable floor space by utilizing more efficient layouts.
Reducing Downtime and Costs: With its simplified maintenance design, TSplus systems are not only easy to install but also to maintain. This reduces both the downtime for repairs and ongoing costs, allowing you to focus more on your production and less on managing conveyor issues.
Why TSplus Modular Conveyor System Stands Out Among Conveyor Solutions
The TSplus conveyor sets itself apart from other conveyor systems on the market due to its exceptional flexibility and modularity.
Unlike traditional conveyors that often require extensive modifications to accommodate production changes, TSplus allows you to effortlessly mix and match components like belt drives, flat-top chains, and roller chains with accessory modules, resulting in a conveyor system that precisely meets your production needs.
Furthermore, the TSplus system offers the ability to create various configurations, such as serpentine, over/under, or rectangular layouts, giving manufacturers the freedom to optimize their floor space and enhance efficiency. Competing systems often lack this unique combination of adaptable media options, ease of reconfiguration, and cycle-independent station capabilities, positioning TSplus as a market leader in modern manufacturing.
Bosch Rexroth’s TSplus Modular Conveyors are more than just conveyors — they’re an investment in the future of efficient, adaptable, and quality-driven manufacturing.
