Precision Lifting. Engineered for Automation.
At FATA Automation, we partner with CeiliX to bring you the InfinityCrane—a revolutionary overhead crane system that breaks the constraints of traditional linear and gantry cranes. This patented technology enables free, unrestricted omnidirectional movement, allowing loads to move in any direction and around obstacles like pillars or pipes
The system’s core innovation lies in its modular ceiling rail system and intelligent, multi-directional vehicles called SkyRunners. This design not only maximizes your floor space by moving transport to the ceiling but also introduces new levels of flexibility and collaboration to your material handling and production processes
Free Movement
The InfinityCrane is not limited to straight lines. It moves freely in all directions within the ceiling plane, effortlessly navigating around structural obstacles that would halt a conventional crane
Collaborative Operations
Multiple SkyRunner vehicles can operate simultaneously and collaboratively in the same workspace. They can work together to lift heavier loads or even rotate objects while suspended, enabling complex assembly and positioning tasks a single crane could never perform
Modular Installation
The ceiling structure is built from modular CeiliX Elements, allowing for fast installation and easy future reconfiguration or expansion of your system without major disruption
More Floor Space
By moving transport and automation to the ceiling, you can reclaim a significant amount of floor space currently used for aisles and conveyors. This increases storage and production capacity, improves efficiency, and enhances safety by separating workers and robots
