Straight Conveyor with Pusher

Task: Buffering of plastic parts in containers

Alongside an injection moulding machine, plastic parts have to be buffered into three boxes of 600x400x400mm size
Empty boxes should be provided by a belt conveyor, filled boxes should be buffered on a roller conveyor
A three-color signal lamp should be used to visualize the system status. Failures should be announced by means of a horn
The complete unit has to be moveable and adjustable in height
Counting pulses of the machine have to be processed by a Siemens S7 control unit

Solution: Buffer belt with transverse pusher and roller conveyor

Buffering conveyor type GL-LD 010 with MTF belt No. 14 (suitable for accumulation conveying) is used for the supply of empty boxes
Pneumatic pusher at conveyor outlet is used for transferring filled boxes onto the roller conveyor
Light sensors for monitoring the box position and the buffer level
3-color signal column with integrated horn between the two conveying lines
Control unit integrated into the underframe for maximum protection
