7. E|SHUTTLE
The concept
Conveyor system based on
the electric monorail system
(EMS) with 3 degrees of
freedom
Vertical dipping movement
with lifting gear
Advanced control system
Space-saving,
Space-saving compact design
Tunnel mounted on the tank
construction
With lamellar seal separating
the trolley

14. Summary
Requirements for flexibility increase continously due to higher variety of models and sub-models of
carbodies.
carbodies
Reduced lifecycles of model generations leads to an increased amount of start-ups within exisiting
systems.
Current development body-in-white introduces
C rrent de elopment of bod in hite introd ces high material mi for PT/ED
mix
(Aluminium, steel, tempered steel, plastic,…).
Current development of body-in-white leads to the utilisation of materials union techniques, which
p y q
reach their final stiffness only after PT/ED (inside ED-oven).
Crash tests have lead to an increased number of smaller submodules for the body-in-white which are
difficult to be reached during ED coating.
Highest corrosion protection remains the most important requirement for the PT/ED process.
that´s why EISENMANN developed the E|Shuttle
