Conveyor belt combination as distribution device

Conveyor belt combination with inclined conveyor and small conveyors for precise distribution of plastic parts into large containers

Task: Precise distribution of plastic parts

Plastic parts are packaged in a bagging machine and are to be distributed into two large containers (wire mesh boxes) using conveyor belts.

The cycle time is approximately 10 seconds per bag.

The bags are to be counted precisely by the conveyor belt system; a counting pulse from the bag machine is not available.

Faulty bags (potential-free signal) should be rejected and must not reach the good parts.

Solution: Conveyor belt combination with inclined conveyor belt and small conveyor belts

Combination of a pre-connected, reversible small conveyor belt type IL for rejecting defective parts, a Z-shaped conveyor belt and a reversible small conveyor belt arranged at a 90° angle for distributing bags into two large containers

Double light barriers at the belt outlet of the Z-conveyor belt for bag counting and simultaneous filtering out of the burrs as sources of interference.

All three conveyor belts are mounted on a stable frame with integrated controls.

Siemens S7 controller with signal light and inputs for light switches for container query

Acknowledge button on the Z-conveyor belt for container change

Signal exchange with the packaging machine via Harting connectors
