Floor buffer system with lifts for flush-mounted housings

Buffer system with Multi-Tech lift and floor conveyor belt for a fully automatic transport and buffering of plastic parts

Task: Fully automated transport and buffering of plastic parts

Plastic parts (e.g., flush-mounted socket housings) are produced on four injection molding machines.

The parts are to be transported from the production area to the storage area and temporarily stored there in wooden crates and cardboard boxes.

Each machine should have a buffer capacity of 96 containers measuring 820 x 520 x 390 mm or 600 x 400 x 550 mm.

Production must run fully automatically over an entire weekend.

A maximum area of ​​12 x 13m is available.

Production and storage are separated by a massive concrete wall (fire compartment).

Solution: Buffer system with Multi-Tech lift and multi-level conveyor belt

Buffer system consisting of a Multi-Tech lift and a multi-level buffer with four or five levels in combination with a multi-rounder type swivel distributor and a machine discharge conveyor belt for each injection molding machine

The belt outlet of each machine discharge conveyor is connected to an aluminum chute that passes through the fireproof wall.

In the storage area, the parts fall from the chute onto the swivel distributor, which fills the containers provided in pairs on the Multi-Tech Lift.

Once the containers are filled and transported by the lift to a higher level, the multi-rounder swivels to the side to avoid collisions with the lift conveyor belt.
