Floor buffer system with lifts for flush-mounted housings

Details MTF Technik Hardy Schürfeld GmbH & Co. KG

Task: Fully automatic 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 stored there in wooden boxes and cartons

A buffer capacity of 96 containers with 820 x 520 x 390mm or 600 x 400 x 550mm should be realized per machine

Production must run fully automatically over an entire weekend

An area of max. 12 x 13m is available

Production and storage are separated by a solid 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 swivel distributor type Multi-Rounder and a machine discharge conveyor belt per injection molding machine

The belt outlet of each machine discharge conveyor is connected to an aluminum chute that passes through the fire 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 are transported to a higher level by the lift, the Multi-Rounder swings to the side to avoid collisions with the lift conveyor belt
