Double-track buffer system for stamped parts

Two I-Tech small conveyor belts transport the stamped parts from the press area

Frame light barriers are mounted under the conveyor belt outlets, which detect and count the parts as they fall through

The components first fall onto a pneumatically pivoting chute and slide down into the respective container

The containers are placed on two parallel Multi-Tech belt conveyors type GL and positioned via appropriate light barriers and pneumatic cylinders

After reaching the target number of pieces per container, the corresponding chute swings into an intermediate position in which the components are collected during the container change

When the next container is in position, the chute swings back to the starting position and the temporarily stored punched parts are transferred to the new container

Filled containers run along a gravity roller conveyor and can be removed by the operator

The I-Tech conveyor belts can be swiveled into a vertical position and locked in place when working on the punching tool. This allows the entire system to be moved away, saving space, if not needed for an extended period.
