overhead conveyor Explanation: electrically-operated overhead conveyor. For "telpher(age)" look in a good monolingual English dictionary. It seems to fit, but I've never heard it before. The En-Ge Ernst has for "telpher line": Haengebahn (elektrisch). But in a manufacturing facility I would use overhead conveyor. |

EFZ / EHB some explanation Explanation: Ford seems to have both, an EFZ and EHB's. From what I can see is that data is transmitted to the EFZ of an EHB. So, the EFZ must be a control system of some sort, controlling the EHB. I am looking for more...but maybe this helps the you and other colleagues to get the idea in the meantime.

peer agreement (net): +1EFH = power trolley system, EFZ - power trolley Explanation: I finally found a website of a company in Germany that manufactures these things. There are pictures on the English version, and the links say what the mentioned products are. From what I understand, the entire apparatus is referred to as a power trolley system, which can either be a hanging one or based on the factory floor. The single components are power trolleys and they can be put together to form a railway-like system, thus transporting heavy items in the automotive industry, such as chassis, gearboxes and so forth. There are pictures of everythihng, maybe they compare well with your translation. Reference: http://www.rofa-gmbh.de/frameeng.htm |
