Linear Buffer with Roller Conveyor (Steel Sheets)

Task: Efficient conveying of sheet metal parts into containers

Steel sheet pieces with an approx. size of 15x15x10mm are produced in a moulding press at a clock rate of approx. 150 parts/minute and shall be feeded into containers
Container dimensions: 470x320x200mm
A buffering solution for 6 containers is needed
The volume of the containers should be utilized fully and material cones be avoided

Solution: Conveyor belt combination with movable discharge belt

A straight discharging conveyor, type GL, with a resistant polyester belt, feeds the parts into a container that is provided on a buffer belt
A roof-shaped plate is mounted below the outlet of the discharging conveyor, in order to distribute the parts in conveying direction into containters at the left and right side
The discharging conveyor, pneumatically adjustable in longitudinal direction, is mounted on a underframe, in order to move to a second position in case of a half-full container, therefore to avoid material cones
Filled containers are buffered on a roller conveyor
Light barriers at the buffer and the roller conveyor scan various features (no empty containers, container in filling position, buffer full)
Processing of data by means of a Siemens S7 control
The operating conditions are displayed by a 3-coloured signal signal lamp
