Double-track conveyors with reversal of direction
Task: Conveying different plastic parts in parallel in different directions
Various plastic parts are produced on an injection molding machine at an automotive supplier. These are often right/left parts or larger products.
The products will be placed on a conveyor belt by robots.
The robot switches on a 400V socket to control the conveyor belt.
When right and left parts are produced, a mix-up during manual parts inspection must be reliably prevented.
Solution: Belt conveyors with reversing operation, butting sideways
Two GL belt conveyors abutting laterally, with no side guide on the abutment surface and an 80mm high side guide on the outside.
Both conveyors feature constant belt speed drives with a manual switch for reversing the direction.
The belt conveyors are designed for continuous reversing operation. This is achieved through forced guidance of the running surfaces.
When producing right and left parts, the conveyors run in opposite directions, so the parts are delivered to different locations. This prevents any unwanted mix-ups.
When producing large parts, the belt conveyors run in the same direction.
Both conveyors are mounted on a single base and firmly connected to each other. This allows for a very compact unit.
The conveyors are equipped with highly efficient running surfaces (MTF No. 1) upon customer request.
