Depot station with pneumatic shifting unit

Details MTF Technik Hardy Schürfeld GmbH & Co. KG

Task: Conveying and buffering sheet springs in containers

Sheet springs are produced in a press at a rate of approximately 30 parts per minute and must be conveyed into containers

Container dimensions: 400x300x215mm (plastic KLT 4321)

A filled container weighs approximately 10kg

A buffer solution for 22 containers is to be created in a small space

Solution: Small conveyor belt with pneumatic distributor rocker and buffer belts

Combination of a small I-Tech conveyor belt with a downstream pneumatic distributor rocker for dividing the flow into two parallel containers

The distributor rocker is made of stainless steel acoustic sheet in sandwich construction to minimize noise pollution

Two parallel Multi-Tech conveyor belts type GL serve as buffers

The containers are pneumatically moved to the other belt at the end of the conveyor lines

To ensure safe transfer processes, the container pairs are separated before each transfer point. For this purpose, one container pair is clamped laterally by pneumatic cylinders.

Light barriers are used to check various functions (no empty containers present, containers in filling position, buffer full)

The evaluation is carried out using Siemens S7 control

The operating states are displayed via a 3-color signal light
