Parallel conveyors Type GL-HM 010

Cartons are to be fed toward a picking robot and then buffered on a conveyor line. Depending on the product, different carton sizes must be securely transported and positioned.

Advantages:

• Adjustable side guides for adaptation to different carton sizes
• Pneumatic cylinders positionable linearly on the conveyor belt profile for carton collection and separation before the cross-shifting positions
• Sensors re-positionably mounted on the side guides to ensure short changeover times
• Compact construction with drive mounted underneath the belt body
• Control of the pneumatics and sensors with the on-site robot controller

Parallel Buffer with Pneumatic Shifting Unit

The parallel buffer with shifting unit serves the space-saving buffering of containers on two parallel, counter-run transporting conveyor belts. Empty containers are carried forward on the first belt to the filling position and then moved parallel onto the second belt. Depending on the task, one shifting unit can be used to create a U-shaped material flow or two units to create a complete circulation of the containers. Especially with complete circulation, this system provides a very good use of space. With the use of only one shifting unit, the return transport can also optionally be accomplished with a roller bed.
