Conveyor belt combination as distribution device

Details MTF Technik Hardy Schürfeld GmbH & Co. KG

Task: Accurate distribution of plastic parts

Plastic parts are packed in a bag machine and are to be distributed into two large containers (lattice boxes) using conveyor belts

The cycle time is approximately 10 seconds for one bag

The bags are to be counted accurately by the conveyor belt system, a counting pulse of the bag machine is not available

Defective bags (potential-free signal) should be rejected and must not reach the good parts

Solution: Conveyor belt combination with ascending conveyor belt and small conveyor belts

Combination of an upstream, reversible small conveyor belt type IL for reject part removal, a Z-shaped conveyor belt and a reversible small conveyor belt arranged at a 90° angle for bag distribution into two large containers

Double light barriers at the belt outlet of the Z-conveyor belt for bag counting and simultaneous masking of the studs as sources of interference

All three conveyor belts are mounted on a stable frame with attached control system

Siemens S7 controller with signal light and inputs for light sensors for container query

Acknowledgement button on the Z-conveyor belt for container change

Signal exchange with the packaging machine via Harting connectors
