Buffer Station for Plastic Parts

Task: Buffering of solid plastic parts in night shift

Plastic parts should be buffered in 22 boxes 600 x 400 x 400mm for a night shift without personnel
The available space is limited to 6m x 2m between the injection moulding machine and the wall
The parts (cover for air filters) are quite massive and need to be catched softly
Start-up parts and rejected parts need to be collected separately from the good parts
The system needs to be prepared for later expansions (box transport to load and unload the buffer from another room)
Before falling into the boxes the parts should cool down

Solution: Stable lift station with reversible conveyor

Reversible conveyor with strong polyester belt transversal underneath the tool. Good parts are transported into the buffer station, rejected parts are transported to the operator side of the IMM
Underneath the belt a soft polyester mesh helps to treat the parts with care
An angled conveyor laterally next to the IMM transports the parts into the upper position of the lift system. The conveyor is clocked in order to cool down the parts
Extrem stable lift station with two independent pneumatic cylinders with a stroke of 550mm each, max. load more than 100kg, max. box exchange time approx. 22 seconds
Siemens S7-control for the lift, the conveyors and the communication with the IMM
