ROTATING ACCUMULATION TABLES
The rotating accumulation tables we produce, are used at the end of packaging lines and in particular the output from a wrapper.
The accumulated product is not back on line, is removed by an operator who inserts it into containers for final packaging.
The table consists of an intermittent, typically at 12 positions, which carries a circular plate which supports the removable containers. The containers accommodate the product coming from conveyor, each container has a vertically movable plate that supports the product to accumulate. The plates are moved vertically by a pair of pneumatic cylinders. A first cylinder raises the plate of the container before it goes into loading position. When the intermittent moves a step, an empty container is brought into the loading position with the plate full lift. A photocell, installed on the conveyor of arrival of the product, detects and counts the arrival of each unit of product. A second photocell, positioned at the top of the container, controls the lowering of the plate carries pieces during the arrival of the product in order to maintain a constant position of support for the product that arrives. Completed the number of pieces for the charger, the plate moves to the lower position and the intermittent advance one step.
The containers with the product are emptied by an operator: to facilitate the removal of the product, the containers are removable.
This accumulator is supplied with:
- electrical panel with an Omron PLC CP1L
- NT2S operator panel (2 lines 16 characters)
- signal tower
- Software for control and diagnostic
- Air filter assembly, with pressure adjustment
VERTICAL ACCUMULATOR
With the mechanical structure of the elevators, we realize devices for vertical storage, to be included in conveyor lines. The function of these elements is to achieve lung / buffer in transportation lines. Vertical accumulators allow you to:
- reduce the footprint for lung
- the product is returned to the transport line in the same orientation as it had been taken
- Accumulation of products parallelepipeds difficult to accumulate on horizontal tables.
The accumulator consists of three elements, each of which can be supplied separately:
- vertical accumulator
- conveyor of exchange
- electrical board
- electrical panel with too PLC, operator panel and control software
The conveyor of exchange is usually a low-pitch roller 30mm. The comb passes between rollers to remove the product from the accumulator conveyor. The accumulator has a series of combs that are going to fill with the product removed from the conveyor. The accumulator is saturated when all the combs leading product. The unloading phase is lowering a comb at a time, to release the product on the conveyor. Completed the evacuation of the product from the conveyor, another comb is lowered.
HORIZONTAL ACCUMULATION TABLES
The horizontal accumulation tables are: conveyors "modular belt" of great width (up to 2 meters) with lengths up to 6 meters. This accumulator is used as the lung or buffer to be inserted between machines on the plant. The horizontal accumulation tables, when loading translate the modular belt in one direction while unloading the direction of motion is reversed. To achieve double direction of movement, the command of the carpet is made from two shafts at both ends of the table. Each shaft is driven by a dedicated motor; control of motion is made by a clutch connecting the gearbox shaft with the sprockets of the coupling modular belt. The structure of the conveyor can be made of painted steel, galvanized or stainless steel.
Essential features:
- Accumulation tables with double engine and control of the motion with clutch.
- Standard versions with Bonfiglioli worm gear motors.
- Complete supply with: the electrical panel and control any software on PLC Siemens or Omron.
HORIZONTAL RECIRCULATING ACCUMULATION TABLES
The horizontal recirculation accumulation tables, typically are inserted into a section of conveyor to allow both the accumulation, the distribution of the product on multiple lines of output. The figure shows an example of a accumulation table, a pair of engines realize the recirculation of the product.
The structure of the conveyor can be made of painted steel, galvanized or stainless steel.
