Pick-up system in special design with buttons and sensors for a reliable buffering of filled bags in containers

Task: Reliable buffering of filled bags in containers

Behind a packaging machine, filled bags are to be buffered in containers.

Both 600x400mm and 400x300mm containers should be usable.

Before the filling station, a check should be performed to determine whether one or two containers are available.

Before entering the filling station, a check should be performed to see if the existing containers are empty.

The carousel depot station should have a total of 8 stop positions (one position in a 400x300mm container and two stop positions in a 600x400mm container).

If a container is full, this should be indicated visually.

A container change must be acknowledged.

A container height of 800mm above the floor must be ensured (from the floor to the bottom edge of the container).
