Straight conveyor belt with cross slide

Task: Buffering of plastic parts in containers

Plastic parts are to be buffered directly next to the injection molding machine in 3 containers measuring 600 x 400 x 400 mm.

Empty containers will be fed in via a conveyor belt, while full containers will be accumulated on a roller conveyor.

The system status will be visualized using a 3-color traffic light. Malfunctions will be indicated audibly by a horn.

The entire unit should be mobile and height-adjustable.

A Siemens S7 controller will be used to process counting pulses from the injection molding machine.

Solution: Buffer belt with cross slide and roller conveyor
