Positioner interlayer system rail
This product is suitable for all applications that require the placement of the interlayers, palletizing on multiple stations. The machine picks up the interlayers from a single stock. The palletizing stations can belong to only one machine, or belong to more palletizers. The figure below shows a palletizer (black) with the positioning system (red) during placing an interlayer. Positioning is complete, the gripper head is lifted, it retracts to take out the machine footprint. The palletizer can then go back to work and the positioning system can pick up a new interlayer.
The components of the machine are: the rail, the trolley interlayer, the interlayers store, and control panel.
The track consists of a pair of round tubes 500mm step.
A track to power the electrified trolley interlayer is fixed to the rail.
The rail must be positioned above the frame of the palletizer.
The track consists of straight lines and curves that allow you to create the path necessary to reach all points of the plant.
The carriage that moves the interlayers, runs on the rails by means of rubber wheels. The carriage is self-propelled. On the carriage, we have: the motor for displacing the rail, the PLC for control of the translation is that of all the movements, an uninterruptible power supply to ensure continuity, the head taken with suction cups for attaching the water, the winch to the vertical movement of the gripper head and arm positioning of the gripper head.
The warehouse interlayers, is simply a structural containment. Its position can also be distant from the point of use of interlayers.
The electrical panel that is placed on the ground, contains: electromechanical elements and security of supply carriage, through the electrified track. For the control of the machine, we have an operator panel connected to the carriage by means of a wireless ethernet. Communication with the rest of the system, can be through modules I / O Ethernet or through a second PLC also equipped with Ethernet port.
The carriage is shaped and installed to be able to move freely from one location to another of the plant, without interfering with the bodies in motion of the palletizer. The arm of the truck carrying the gripping head of the interlayer, can rotate in the horizontal plane.
The cart is positioned next to the warehouse interlayers, the arm rotates to bring the gripping head in line with the sheets. The winch lowers the gripper head up to the first interlayer, the head by means of four suction cups, hooks and raises the interlayer. Completed lifting, the arm rotates to bring the head out of footprint. Start the translation movement of the carriage to the point of application of the water. Reached the point, the truck is waiting for the consent of the palletizer. Occurred on command, rotate the arm to bring the water in line with the pallet; the winch lowers the water table on the pallet. Completed the release, head goes back and completed the rotation of the arm, the agreement is sent to the recovery of the pallet.
