Task: Efficient conveying of sheet metal parts into containers

Sheet metal parts with a size of approximately 15x15x10mm are produced in a press at a cycle rate of approximately 150 parts/minute and must be conveyed into containers

Container dimensions: 470x320x200mm

A buffer solution for 6 containers is to be created

The container volume should be used as effectively as possible, and cones of material should be avoided as far as possible

Solution: Conveyor belt combination with movable discharge belt

A straight machine discharge belt type GL with a durable polyester cover transports the parts into a container provided on a buffer belt.

A roof-shaped plate is mounted under the outlet of the machine discharge conveyor belt to distribute the parts in the conveying direction to the left and right in the container

The machine discharge belt is mounted on a base frame and can be moved pneumatically in the longitudinal direction in order to move to a second position when the container is half full and thus avoid cones as far as possible

Filled containers are buffered on a roller conveyor

Light barriers on the buffer belt and the subsequent roller conveyor are used to check various functions (no empty containers present, containers in filling position, buffer full).

The evaluation is carried out using Siemens S7 control

The operating states are displayed via a 3-color signal light
